Mojo Hand FX Mister-O Phase Shifter

There are, apparently, still musicians out there who dislike the Phaser effect. Now, while we can’t necessarily understand why, it doesn’t stop us from bringing you all the best phaser pedals we can find, and we’ve got another new one today. The Mojo Hand FX Mister-O Phase Shifter is a modern recreation of a classic, the Maestro Phase Shifter, first released in the early 1970’s. With vintage tones and some modern upgrades, this one is a keeper…

Intending to replicate the sound of a Leslie rotary speaker, the phase shifter turned into a widely popular effect that influenced the sound and role of the electric guitar ever since. The Mojo Hand FX crew took many hours of careful listening, playing and tweaking, to arrive at a design that captured the elusive magic of this historic pedal. Mister-O stays true to the original’s six phase stages, but since the original had just three speed switches, this one has extra flexibility to satisfy the needs of a modern instrumentalist.

Speed controls the speed of the LFO, carefully replicating the unique shape of the original’s LFO waveform at various speeds
Depth adjusts to create a more or less drastic phase shift
Color controls the amount of feedback regeneration, to add a bit more or less “whoosh” if desired

To most closely simulate the sound of the original with Mister-O, you can start with the Speed, Depth, and Color knobs pointing straight up to 12 o’clock. Experimentation is key here, as it is with all modulation pedals, and these three simple controls open up a whole new phasing world for us all to enjoy. Bravo to the team at Mojo Hand FX on a faithful reproduction of a classic, along with some modern amenities to really make it a versatile piece of modulation equipment.
