AE051

This package includes a number of superrealistic recreations of vintage guitar stompbox effects that are highly valued for their rich, warm sound. VCM technology brings these outstanding effects back to life with greater controllability and flexibility than ever!

VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) technology actually models the characteristics of analog circuitry - right down to the last resistor and capacitor. VCM technology goes well beyond simply analyzing and modeling electronic components and emulating the sound of old equipment. It's capable of capturing subtleties that simple digital simulations cannot even approach, while actually creating ideal examples of sought-after vintage gear.

Born in the late '70's, this phaser is still available in reissue form. There are many who believe the original '70's models sounded better than the current models, and so the K's Lab team have painstakingly modeled the original circuit and components. Even the original light-sensitive CdS cell that was used for modulation has been modeled so the subtle change in modulation character with modulation speed of the original is recreated in perfect detail.

Like the MAX100, there are many guitarists who will go to any lengths to get an original version of this stomp box to enhance their sound. This is a faithful reproduction of the original with dual phaser circuits and dual LFOs that can be configured to deliver a dazzling array of effects. Special care has been taken in modeling the effect of the CdS cell in the phase-shifting circuit so that the exquisite balance at all modulation speeds that was a major part of the sound of the original has been retained.

Rather than a simulation of a specific phaser, this model has been designed to deliver the best qualities of the most sought-after classic phasers in one versatile effect. Different mode settings transform this effect into dramatically different phaser types. Stereo and mono versions are provided.
