RATE

Set the speed at which the LFO sweeps. From
little or no movement at lower settings, to crazy
whirling phase.

During WWII, from 1943-1944, over 1,000
women volunteered to fly in the military
to help while so many men were away
fighting. This program was called W.A.S.P.
(Woman Air Force Service Pilots). One
specific pilot, Lillian Yonally, inspired us
with her story of traversing dangerous
skies. From there, the idea of the Lillian
Analog Phaser was born.

The Lillian is a true bypass, all analog,
multi-stage Phaser drawing control
layout inspiration from the Julia Chorus.
With controls like Rate, Width, Feedback,
and D-P-V blend, the Lillian is packed
with a wide array of analog phaser
goodness waiting to be dialed in. The
“Stages” switch allows the user to select
4 or 6 stages which alters the overall
voice of the effect from warm and tight
phasing with 4 stages to a more complex
filtered sound with 6. The D-P-V knob
lets you blend between dry, phase
shifted, and vibrato sounds allowing for
a wide range of control over the intensity
and type of effect. Top mounted input,
output, and power jacks as well as soft
switch relay bypassing make the Lillian
fit well on your board and ensure smooth
operation for years to come.

WIDTH

Controls the frequency range that the filters
sweep through.Set low for a narrow range and
a less dramatic effect, or higher for a wider range
resulting in more defined phaser tones.

FEEDBACK

Determines how much of your phase shifted
signal gets sent back through the filter stages.Set
this control lower for more traditional phaser
tones, and higher for more of a resonate filter
sound.

D-P-V

Blend between Dry, Phase Shifted, and Vibrato
(labeled d-p-v on the pedal). The Dry-Phase­Vibrato blend changes the ratio of dry to wet
signal sent to the output. At minimum, you will
hear no effect. Set it to noon for equal parts
dry and wet – the traditional Phaser setting.
Set it to maximum for 100% wet resulting in
pitch vibrato. Explore the ground between
minimum and noon for adding slight amounts
of movement to your dry signal and the area
between noon and maximum for all sorts of
unheard phase/vibrato combinations.

Stages Switch

Allows the user to select 4 or 6 stages which
alters the overall voice of the effect from warm
and tight phasing with 4 stages to a more
complex filtered sound with 6. Each pair of
stages creates a notch filter and a certain
frequency range that the LFO sweeps through.
This means, in 4 stage mode, there are 2 swept
filter notches, and in 6 stage mode there are 3
swept notches.They each have their own “voice”,
so flip the switch and have fun!

SMART MOMENTARY BYPASS SWITCH

When the bypass switch is in the off position,
press and hold to temporarily activate the
effect. Releasing the switch turns the effect off.
