The Spun Loud & Rare Buzz Phoezar is a phase+fuzz circuit born out of an encounter of minds between two small US pedal builders, initiated by an Instagram comment posted back in 2021 which teaches us that a pedal can take much longer than 9 months to be born from the initial inception.
The Phezar sports an (MXR) 45-style phaser on one side and a Bazz Fuzz-style pedal on the other, each controlled by two knobs (Rate and Depth, and Fuzz and VOlume, respectively) and dedicated footswitches.
An Order toggle in the center of the case lets you switch the order of the effects, multiplying the sonic possibilities delivered by this ingenious compact pedal.
Spun Loud & Rare Buzz Phoezar, Builder’s Notes
BORN OUT OF AN INSTAGRAM COMMENT MORE THAN TWO YEARS AGO, THE PHOEZAR IS AN OTHERWORLDLY COMBINATION OF CLASSIC FUZZ AND PHASE CIRCUITS. WITH A PHASE 45-BASED PHASE CIRCUIT ON THE RIGHT AND A BAZZ FUSS-BASED CIRCUIT ON THE LEFT, THIS NEW DESIGN LETS PLAYERS TOUR THE GALAXY OF WEIRDNESS, FROM LIGHT DISTORTED CHORUS TO VIBRATING DRIVEN-TO-THE-HILT STUN GUN.
THE PHOEZAR WAS DESIGNED TO BE EASY TO USE WHILE STILL OFFERING PLENTY OF CONTROL SO EVERY PLAYER CAN MAKE IT THEIR OWN. SEPARATE FOOTSWITCHES ACTIVATE EACH SIDE INDEPENDENTLY, WHILE CONTROLS FOR RATE AND DEPTH ON THE PHASE SIDE, AND FUZZ AND VOLUME ON THE FUZZ SIDE GIVE SIMPLE CONTROL FOR THE MOST VITAL ASPECTS OF THE CIRCUITS. BUT THE KEY CONTROL IS THE THOUGHTFULLY ENGINEERED ORDER SWITCH, ALLOWING PLACEMENT OF EITHER THE FUZZ OR THE PHASE FIRST IN THE CIRCUIT: PHASE INTO FUZZ TO THE LEFT, FUZZ INTO PHASE TO THE RIGHT.
CONTROLS:
- FUZZ: ADJUSTS THE GAIN IN THE FUZZ CIRCUIT, INCREASING THE GRIT.
- VOLUME: SETS THE FINAL VOLUME FOR THE FUZZ CIRCUIT.
- RATE: ADJUSTS THE SPEED OF THE OSCILLATOR IN THE OPTICAL PHASE CIRCUIT.
- DEPTH: SETS THE INTENSITY OF THE PHASE EFFECT.
- ORDER: SWITCHES THE ORDER OF THE TWO CIRCUITS FOR UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT SOUNDSCAPES.
PHOEZAR FEATURES TRUE-BYPASS SWITCHING AND PREMIUM PARTS. HOUSED IN POWDER-COATED, UV-PRINTED ENCLOSURES.
