A/DA Final Phase Reissue


A/DA Final Phase Reissue
We have a used A/DA Final Phase reissue pedal with original box in great condition. Here’s some information about this pedal.
The A/DA Final Phase represents the latest in phase shifter technology. The FINAL PHASE is capable of producing a very broad range of sound colorations, dramatically enhancing the effect of any amplified musical instrument, voice or percussive instrument.
Comes with a power cord for USA 120V ac power.
Electronic phasing takes place when a signal is divided, one half slightly delayed, then remixed with the original signal. This delay only occurs at certain frequencies and is referred to as phase shift (when the delay occurs at all frequencies, the effect is called flanging). When the phase shift of the delayed signal differs by 180 degrees relative to the original signal, a cancellation, called a notch, is generated when they are remixed. The FINAL PHASE generates 5 notches, which when moved back and forth across the sound spectrum, for example, produces the classic rotating speaker effect.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The 2009 Reissue A/DA Final Phase is designed by the original designers of the late 1970s A/DA Final Phases using very similar parts and exactly the same parts in the all-analog signal path. The differences between your Reissue Final Phase and the original A/DA Final Phases are:
The Reissue has true hardwire bypass and the originals did not.
The Reissue Overdrive (distortion) has been re-voiced to get a more modern sounding distortion, while keeping the original distortion tone and feel by backing off the new Overdrive Control. In effect we have added an 11 to the Overdrive. As you approach the maximum setting, the bass resonance increases and the highs become more complex.
The printed circuit board (PCB) has a different layout, but is all through-hole design, using full-size carbon film resistors and precision polyester film capacitors for the highest quality signal path. There are no surface mount components in your Reissue Final Phase.
A/DA FINAL PHASE OPERATING NOTES
CONTROLS
SWEEP RATEControls the speed at which the phase Shift. Effect moves up and down the sound spectrum.
SWEEP MODULATION
A Variable speed oscillator that adds to or modulates the main sweep, producing shimmering, vibrato-like effects, asymmetrical sweep patters, multiple phaser effects, modulated sweep, syncopated beats, etc.
RANGE CONTROL
Determines the limits of the automatic sweep functions (SWEEP RATE and SWEEP MODULATION), with maximum range at the full clockwise setting. When using the CONTROL input (as mentioned above), the RANGE CONTROL gives maximum range to the CONTROL input when set to full counter-clockwise position.
INTENSITY
A regenerative feedback control that adds emphasis (peaking) to the phasing effects. Sounds ranging from hollow tubes to intensified wahs are obtainable.
OVERDRIVE
Adds a variable amount of distortion to the input signal, smooth tube amp harmonic distortion are easily produced.
FOOT SWITCHES
IN/OUT
Switches electronics of FINAL PHASE into or out of operation.
OVERDRIVE
Engages or bypasses the electronics of distortion. Responds only when electronics of phase shifter are operating.
