What is a Rotophaser, exactly? Part rotary speaker, part phaser, all modulation and a ton of fun, that’s what it is. Classically, you’d look to units like a Fender Vibratone, the MTI Rotophaser and, of course, the Leslie rotating speaker cabinets to get some of these sounds. Today, however, we’ve got a modern machine that combines all that you love about this sound and those vintage units into a pedalboard-friendly enclosure that requires neither a ton of maintenance or a semi trailer to transport…this is the Thermion Black Sun Analog Rotophaser.
A versatile, exclusive effect with unique tone, the Black Sun combines classic rotary speaker sounds with experimental phaser options. With two configurable (and instantly switchable) speeds, tap tempo and more, there’s not a lot this one won’t do. A two-band EQ lets you dial in the right tonal overtones to your sound, while Note Multiplier, Waveform, Cycle and Depth controls open up the sonic playground for you to run through and experiment with.
The Black Sun is one of those effects that, while you can describe it with words, it’s much easier to see/hear it in action. Therefore, we’ve created an extensive demo video for you all below, running through the controls, sights and sounds of this one-of-a-kind effects pedal. Wonderfully modulated and full of surprises, the Black Sun Analog Rotophaser will propel your sound to the next level, and beyond. Cheers to our friends at Thermion on another marvelous creation – check out their website and give em a follow on all the socials, and don’t forget to subscribe to our channel after you watch the demo on YouTube!
