DRUNK BEAVER Tornado Mk2 Phaser

About the DRUNK BEAVER Tornado Mk2 Phaser

Inspired by the Ross Phaser, EHX Small Stone, and Blackout Whetstone Phaser, the Drunk Beaver Tornado Mk2 Phaser is a whirlwind of analogue swirl offering 2, 4 or 6-stage phasing, allowing you to emulate (and maybe surpass!) your favourite guitar sounds.

The Tornado Mk2 is a full-featured phaser, providing straightforward phasing effects as well as a vibrato mode, in-phase and out-of-phase phasing, ring mod, and chorus sounds.

The A/B footswitch enables you to switch between 2 different Rate and Range presets for useful on-the-fly adjustments.

Tornado Mk2 Controls

Effect Level The amount of modulated signal mixed with the input signal.

Resonance Controls the amount of feedback passed back to phaser stages; it adds some distortion to the signal.

Rate A/B Adjusts the modulation speed for each preset.

Stages Toggle between 2, 4 or 6-stage phaser. Fewer stages means a more subtle effect.

Mode Toggle between dry and wet signals out-of-phase (Phaser O), Vibrato, or in-phase (Phaser I).

Sweep Toggle between Shallow and Wide LFO sweeps.

Range A/B Toggle between Slow, Ring and Normal. This affects the Rate controls. On Slow with the Rate control all the way anti-clockwise, the sweep is 40 seconds. Set to Ring for some ring modulation sounds, and set to Normal and turn the Rate control clockwise to get a quasi-octave effect.
