Introduction

Set your phasers for stun, gang! Rocktron
brings you the Reaction Phaser, a classic
phaser pedal that will add a great effect to your
arsenal.

Rocktron’s Reaction Series pedals are built
into a rugged metal slim form factor chassis,
taking up as little space as possible on your
pedalboard. The Reaction Phaser is a TRUE
BYPASS pedal: when you turn it off…it is out
of your signal path!

The Reaction Phaser is very easy to use. Just
set the SPEED control and off you go. The
SPEED knob controls the speed of the modula­tion waveform. Simple!

A phaser is one of those effects that does not
have a stringent placement within the signal

chain. Some players love it rst in the chain,

while others like it after the distortion. Some
even love it at the end of the chain.
