Foot Phaser Nick James

PHASER

The Pastfx Nick James Foot Phaser is a collaboration with Nick James of Peril Pedals and is based upon the foxx Foot Phaser V1. The foxx Foot Phaser is made famous by Brian May of Queen. Made in the 70’s, its treadle design allowed the Phase speed to be controlled by knob or treadle. Foxx released several versions of the foot phaser with different number of phase stages and circuit design. However it is Version 1’s design that is most synonymous with Brian May. The Nick James foot phaser requires considerable testing to find a set of 10 matching transistors. This involves testing thousands of transistors by hand, to get the perfect phase.
