What is it?

The Pastfx Foot Phaser Deluxe is essentially a tricked out Nick James Foot phaser, which in turn is based upon the foxx Foot Phaser V1.

The foxx Foot Phaser is made famous by Brian May of Queen. Made in the 70’s, its treadle design allowed the Phase speed to be controlled by knob or treadle.

Foxx released several versions of the foot phaser with different number of phase stages and circuit design. However it is Version 1’s design that is most synonymous with Brian May.

The Foot Phaser Deluxe requires considerable testing to find a set of 10 matching transistors. This involves testing thousands of transistors by hand, to get the perfect phase.

While being able to dial in the exact settings of the Nick James foot phaser, The Deluxe, can take the tonal options further, and also has an expression extension jack for those who wish to use a treadle to control the pedal

What is it?

The PastFx Phase V is a faithful reproduction of the 1970’s Roland AP-5 Phase Five. The AP-5 was unique for its time. It incorporated 2 different ways of controlling the phase speed, Continuous Control and Touch Control.

Continuous Control uses a conventional LFO to generate a regular rate of phase found in most phasers produced today. This rate is determined by either the Fast or Slow knob.
Touch Control however uses the instrument input signal to determine the phase speed, ie the louder/hotter the signal the faster the phase rate becomes. It slows down when the instrument signal weakens. The Touch Control sensitivity knob allows the user to make adjustments according to their playing style and desired Phase rate.

The Fast / Slow switch allows the phase to respond in its speed adjustment similar to a Leslie Rotary Speaker.

The Touch Control Setting can give a similar result however your playing dynamics can control the ramping up and down of the Phase.

The Original Roland Ap-5 now attracts high prices from both artists and collectors alike.

The PastFx Phase V is able to achieve all the sonic features of the original.

It is approximately 1/3 of the size and weight of an original which operated off mains power. With today’s advancements in technology, the PastFx Phase V operates off the same bipolar voltages as the original, however it only requires standard 9vdc pedal power supply.

Features

Uses 6 hand matched Jfet transistors.
Now with new "Flip Switch" (Located on front side) which allows the left footswitch to be able to select between TC/CC or ramp between LFO phase speeds (Slow/Fast)

Intensity knob – controls the depth of the phase.
Fast / Slow switch allows the phase speed to be ramped up or down just like a vintage Leslie Rotary Speaker.
Independent Fast & Slow Phase rate knobs.

Foot switchable Touch Control / Continuous Control function.

Dual Red & Green LED Indicators which flash at the LFO phase rate.

Red – Continuous Control

Green – Touch Control

True Bypass Normal / Effect footswitch.

Blue LED visual indication of effect being activated.
When In True Bypass mode, T.C/C.C Led will be solid.

Internal Volume Trimpot, allowing user to adjust phase volume to be in unity with the bypass signal. This corrects the volume drop found in the Original AP-5.

Dimensions : 120 x 94 x 50mm (1590BB style enclosure)

Pedalboard friendly, uses minimal real estate and operates off industry standard (9VDC negative tip 2.1mm )
Current Draw approx. 80ma

What is it?

The PastFx Chorus Ensemble MN3007 (CE-7) is a modified PastFx Chorus Ensemble Deluxe ,using the less obsolete NOS MN3007 BBD.

The (CE-7) uses the same PCB as the Deluxe, is almost identical with components and is attractively priced.

The (CE-7) operates off the same bipolar voltages, the exact same preamp section, and incorporates both switchable Depth and Buffer Mods.

Features

Uses obsolete NOS Panasonic / Matsushita 1024 stage BBD MN3007
incorporates the “Noise Killer” circuitry
Same unique Preamp stage
Normal / effect footswitch
Vibrato / Chorus footswitch
Triangle Wave LFO – Chorus
Sinewave LFO - Vibrato
Not True Bypass* (Jfet switching) – (Switchable Stereo True bypass mod Now Standard!)
Peak Level Indicator visual feedback of input sensitivity
High / Low Input sensitivity changeover switch
Dual colour LFO rate LED, visual indication of selected effect

Blue – Chorus

Red – Vibrato

Stereo/ Mono Outputs. In a Stereo setup, wet signal is directed to the Stereo jack and Dry to the Mono output jack.
Vibrato controls are Depth & Rate
Chorus is controlled by Intensity knob (which controls both rate and depth)
When effect is bypassed the LFO LED indicator remains on without flashing
Pedalboard friendly, uses minimal real estate and operates off industry standard (9VDC negative tip 2.1mm )
The (CE-7) incorporates up to 5 extra popular switchable Mods
The Mods can all be switched off, restoring to the original circuit or selectively activated by taste. These include:

Depth Mod

This mod is popular for those who were wanting more control over their chorus effect.

When activated it allows the use of the Vibrato Depth knob to control the Chorus Depth. The Stock depth setting of the Chorus can still be achieved by turning the Vibrato Depth knob fully clockwise.

Buffer Mod

The activation of the Buffer circuit can help restore some of the high frequencies. It is more noticeable when the Input sensitivity switch is on high. The (CE-7) inbuilt buffer circuit can be added or removed as desired.

Note: When clipping the signal heavily by having the Level control on high, it can give various responses based on what type of amp is being played through.

On some amps it can almost sound like a fuzz, and on others a more traditional crunch sound! This is the same experience with the Deluxe.

Stereo True Bypass Mod

When activated, the Stereo True Bypass mod allows for both outputs to be … you guessed it, True Bypass!

Pot Mod

When activated, changes the default level control potentiometer value from 50K to 500K resistance.

As the Original Ce-1 was designed with keyboards in mind, many guitarists who owned original Ce-1 pedals would replace the 50K pot for a higher value.

All 5 mod switches are located inside back of unit.

Adjust to taste.

Boost 'N' Blend

The switchable Boost ‘N’ Blend mod allows the user to customise the chorus output levels and wet and dry

signal balance. Switching both Wet & Dry slide switches to “MOD'' position allows the 2 white trimpots to be

activated. This will allow an increase or reduction of the overall level of the Wet modulated & Dry

signal. By simply adjusting the trims, it is possible to change the stock wet/dry blend ratio. For those

wanting a “cleaner” chorus, the external level control can be turned down and the two internal boost trims

can increase the overall level to match unity. The opposite can also be achieved, for those wanting to push

the “Preamp Crunch'' hard but retain unity with the True Bypass level. Simply turn the Level control to

maximum and use the internal trimpots to reduce the overall level to match.

Dimensions : 120 x 94 x 50mm (1590BB style enclosure)

Current draw approx : 110-130MA

Below is a small excerpt from a Tone-Talk Video where Dan from "That Pedal Show"

explains the "Pot Mod". This video was the inspiration of adding the mod to our design :)

We also now have the Stereo True Bypass Mod as standard (example in video did not have that feature :) )
