Mikron Phaser was modeled after the legendary Small Stone Phaser, a stomp box effect designed by one of our all-time heroes: David Cockerell. The effect was made particularly famous by the French composer Jean Michel Jarre who used it extensively on his recordings as a synthesizer effect. But of course it was used by countless legendary bands on guitar as well. The Police, Led Zeppelin, do we need say more? If you ask us, Small Stone Phaser is without doubt the best phaser ever made. It has a smooth, vibrant seventies sound that will never grow old, and is equally suited for guitar and synthesizer, and let’s not forget the bass.
While we tried to replicate the original sound of Small Stone Phaser as accurately as possible, we added a few modern details as well. First of all, it’s stereo. Secondly you can set not only the LFO rate and the ‘color’ of the phaser, but also adapt the center frequency, the degrees that the LFO’s will be out of phase, and how much the pitch will be modulated up and down. And finally the bass and treble knobs are a nice addition that can help sometimes to get the sound ‘just right’, to let it fit a little better in the mix.
To all Jean Michel Jarre fans: use Mikron Phaser together with Mikron Orbiter to get the typical Jean Michel Jarre synthesizer sound from his first albums Oxygène and Équinoxe (see below).
