Introduction Set your phasers for stun, gang! Rocktron brings you the Reaction Phaser, a classic phaser pedal that will add a great effect to your arsenal. Rocktron’s Reaction Series pedals are built into a rugged metal slim form factor chassis, taking up as little space as possible on your pedalboard. The Reaction Phaser is a TRUE BYPASS pedal: when you turn it off…it is out of your signal path! The Reaction Phaser is very easy to use. Just set the SPEED control and off you go.
Introduction continued...... Placing the Reaction Phaser first in the chain in front of your distortion or directly into your amp will produce a grainy, gritty effect that adds excitement to your playing. Conversely, if placed after your distortion pedal, or within the effects loop of an amp, it will produce a smoother effect. Experiment and find what works best for you. You ain’t talkin’ about phasers unless your talking about the Reaction Phaser! It’s that classic phaser sound with true bypass to boot.
