THE PHASEMISTRESS CONTROL PANEL

PhaseMistress — Version 5

The front panel parameter settings suited best to auditioning the

different Styles is as follows:

• Mix = 50% or 100% depending on where you have

PhaseMistress inserted.

• Frequency = 12 0’clock

• Resonance = 9 o’clock

• Depth = 12 o’clock

• Select the standard PhaseMistress preset call “STYLE

TRYER” (this will insure that the Tweak Menu settings,

described in a bit, are set to “default” values)

You will ﬁnd a wealth of Style options to choose from, based on

classic hardware as well as completely new styles of phasing unique

to PhaseMistress. Style presets are named in some instances based on

either the name of the original hardware (such as “DOD 201” or “Trine”)

or based on key aspects of the stages or phase used (or sometimes,

just the way it actually sounds like “Scoopy”). For instance, the “Rezo

6 Low” is a 6 Stage, high intensity, modern phase with resonant peaks

tuned more towards the bass frequencies.

TWEAK BUTTON

The Tweak Button (located below the Input/Output controls) provides

access to a whole new world of adjustable parameters that grant the

ability to modify the fundamentals of PhaseMistress’s virtual phasing

circuit in all modulation modes. Upon pressing the Tweak Button, the

slide-out Tweak Menu will appear. The wealth of variation options in this

menu make PhaseMistress the most ﬂexible and sonically vast phase

shifter made to date.

The Modulation indicator serves as a visual reference of the phasing

process. The blue LED-style indicators will light up in relation to the

current position of the phase sweep from left to right and back again.

Adjusting the rate control will result in the most notable changes in the

Modulation indicator, as it will move rhythmically to the rate speciﬁed.
