What kind of effect does the DOD Phasor 201 create?

The DOD Phasor 201 delivers classic, swirling phase effects that add movement and depth to your guitar tone. It creates a rich, undulating sound, perfect for anything from subtle texture to deep, psychedelic sweeps. This all-analog pedal is a great way to infuse your sound with vintage vibe and character.

How do I control the sound of the Phasor 201?

The Phasor 201 features a single knob that controls both the depth and speed of the phasing effect. Turn it clockwise for faster, more intense swirls and deeper modulation, or counter-clockwise for slower, more subtle undulations. Its straightforward design makes it simple to find your desired phase sound quickly.

Is the DOD Phasor 201 an analog or digital pedal?

The DOD Phasor 201 is an all-analog effect pedal. This means it uses traditional electronic components to create its sound, resulting in a warm, organic, and authentic phasing tone that many guitarists prefer for its classic character and responsiveness.

Does the Phasor 201 affect my tone when it's turned off?

No, the DOD Phasor 201 features true bypass switching. This ensures that when the pedal is disengaged, your guitar's signal passes directly through without any coloration or degradation. Your original tone remains pure and unaffected until you activate the phasing effect.

How do I power the DOD Phasor 201 pedal?

The DOD Phasor 201 is powered by a 9V DC power supply (sold separately). Its modern 9V DC power supply input is conveniently located on the top edge for easier integration into your pedalboard.

Get to know them!

Re-create that classic '80s all-analog phaser sound with the DOD Phasor 201 effect pedal. This reissue stompbox delivers that old-school phaser sound you've been looking for — plus a few updates. DOD gave the Phasor 201 a blue indicator light so you can tell whether the effect is on or off, a lightweight aluminum chassis, and a modern 9V power supply input. Like the original Phasor 201, this reissue sports a single-speed knob that controls the depth and speed to give you everything from a light-swirling vibe to a full-on cyclonic storm. Grab the DOD Phasor 201 and add a healthy dose of vintage phaser to your rig!

An assortment of well-earned updates

As much as we love the classics at Sweetwater, he can’t help but appreciate how DOD outfitted the Phasor 201 with a host of performance-minded updates. An LED indicator now alerts you when the pedal is on, and the new lightweight aluminum chassis was given a total cosmetic makeover for a sharp, refined look. Moreover, the power input has moved to the top edge for easier pedalboard integration.

A 1-knob wonder

Do you really need more than one knob? The Phasor 201 is about as intuitive as a pedal can get, sporting a single knob with a two-stage sweep to unlock a vast assortment of rich, analog phaser swoosh and sway. While its simple control scheme may appear limiting from the outset, the truth is that each and every position on the Phasor 201 offers unique tones to play with — it’s by no means a 1-trick pony, and even it sounds equally great on both clean and dirty signals.
