Soviet Phase – Australia

This product is shipped locally from Bairnsdale, Victoria, and it’s exclusively for our Australian customers.

Project overview

Inspired by Estradin Effekt-2 Phaser, the legendary stompbox from the Soviet Era and one of the most interesting phasers you will ever hear.

Introduction

Estradin Effekt-2 Phaser was launched in the late 1980s at the same plant that manufactured the famous Soviet synths Polivoks/Formanta. It rapidly gained its status as one of the most desirable and great-sounding Soviet effects pedals ever made due to its profound analog phaser effects suitable for any kind of music.

In PCB Guitar Mania, we decided to produce a modern version of the board that maintains the unique characteristics of the original and makes it accessible to any DIY enthusiast that wants to have it in his pedalboard without the need to break into a museum of the Soviet era. If you are interested in boards of this period, we have an everyday expanding collection with other gems such as the LEL` DD and the Ltava.

This warm analog optical phaser has two modes of the intensity of the effect. The STAGES switch operates with intensity, allowing you to switch between a full circle and 1/3 circle so that you can get two different phasers in one box. It also features BLEND, BRIGHT, DEPTH, and RATE control knobs to give you deep control of your output signal.
