I’ve also found it almost essential that my modulation pedals have a level/volume control as otherwise many can be either under- or over-powered on the output front.
I’ve also notified of my intentions to acquire the MXR Dual Phase 99 someday soon and possibly the Spaceman Explorer Phaser, but I’m pretty much settled on the CBA Wombtone which has the perfect combination of form factor, tones and features for me. It should be well-known by now that my favourite phaser is the Chase Bliss Wombtone MKII, while I also have the Alexander La Calavera, Modded Boss PH-1R, MXR Mini Phase 95, and Zvex Vibrophase.
In my last Phaser overview there were two examples of this - the Chase Bliss Wombtone, and the V1 of the then Red House Midnight Phaser - now the Native Audio V2 Midnight Phaser! New to me are the recently launched Vein-Tap Dark Arts Phaser, and the brand new Crazy Tube Circuits Cyclone which inspired this roundup. Take your current effects setup a step beyond the ordinary with the Side Step from TWA.This post was triggered by the recently announced Crazy Tube Circuits 4-Mode Cyclone Phaser - which comes in my own preferred phaser format - compact enclosure, analogue circuit, and with a second tap-tempo footswitch. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination and the amount of exp/CTL jacks you have available in your rig.
#Taptempo lfo manual
Turn an envelope filter into an auto-wah a ring modulator into a whammy a standard delay pedal into a pitch-shifting delay a drive pedal into a modulating synth or add tap tempo to a manual phaser. This simple yet ingenious configuration opens up a whole new array of creative audio possibilities without dramatically altering your existing effect setup. ğixed midrange frequency with Triskelion on and Side Step bypassed.LFO control of midrange frequency via Side Step LFO.Manual control of midrange frequency via expression pedal.If you were to connect the Side Step to the Triskelion and then connect an expression pedal to the Side Step, you could have the Triskelion function in three different modes – Here’s an example – the TWA Triskelion is a midrange gain booster with an expression pedal jack that controls the frequency of the midrange band. The Side Step can also be hard bypassed to use the slave pedal/device in its standard operating mode. The EXP jack allows connection of your favorite expression pedal to the Side Step, while the EXP Thru switch allows for standard operation of the expression pedal with the slave pedal/device, effectively bypassing the Side Step without having to disconnect it. The available waveforms are listed in the Control Descriptions section below. The Side Step offers eight different waveform options for the onboard LFO, which are selectable via rotary switch. Each control type will override the others, so you could have a very high LFO rate set with the expression pedal, and then enter a much slower tempo via the tap tempo footswitch, allowing you to “toggle” between two LFO rates. The Side Step LFO rate can be controlled via tap tempo, onboard rate pot, or an external expression pedal.
#Taptempo lfo trial
Our tech came up with an idea to slave the Triskelion to an external LFO via its expression jack in order to generate the S/H effect without having to alter the existing circuit.Īfter a lot of spit-balling and trial & error, the Side Step was born! The Side Step concept arose from discussions with Dweezil Zappa, who had envisioned a sample/hold function for the TWA Triskelion. Just plug it in and tap to create unique new sounds and effects. The Side Step is a variable-state, tap-tempo low-frequency oscillator (LFO) that can be used to control practically any device with an expression input and/or +5V control voltage source.
