The original Electro Harmonix Bad Stone is back! Originally launched in 1977 this really cool six stage phase shifter could be heard on a plethora of different albums throughout the late 70’s and early 80’s before it was discontinued. Now EHX are bringing this legend back with modern tweaks and build quality.
Brilliant Range
The only change made to the circuit from the original pedal is that the minimum modulation rate is now a bit slower than before which suits some of the more modern guitar styles. Just like the original pedal you have two modes of operation. You can either control it in auto mode with your standard Rate and Feedback controls which uses the LFO to constantly move the phase. The other mode disables the LFO and you instead control the frequency with the Manual Shift control. This second mode lets you get everything for a subtle parked wah effect to some really cool out of phase tones.
Specifications

Analog
Analog guitar pedals are known for their warm, organic, and often slightly “imperfect” sound characteristics. They can add harmonic richness, subtle saturation, and musicality to the guitar signal, which many players find appealing. Analog pedals often have a more straightforward operation and tend to interact more dynamically with the player’s touch and guitar’s volume and tone controls.
However, analog pedals can also be more prone to noise, have limited control options compared to digital counterparts, and may lack features like preset storage or advanced modulation effects. Nevertheless, many guitarists prefer analog pedals for their vintage tone, simplicity, and the tactile experience they provide.
Examples of popular analog guitar pedals include the Ibanez Tube Screamer (overdrive), Electro-Harmonix Small Clone (chorus), and MXR Phase 90 (phaser).

Phaser
A guitar phaser is an electronic effect used to alter the sound of a guitar by creating a series of peaks and troughs in the frequency spectrum of the audio signal. This effect is achieved through a process called phase shifting, where the audio signal is split into two paths. One path remains unchanged, while the other is subjected to an all-pass filter that shifts its phase. When these two signals are recombined, they interfere with each other, creating the characteristic swooshing or swirling sound associated with phasers. This effect can add a sense of movement and depth to the guitar’s tone, making it a popular choice for both rhythm and lead playing.
Phasers often come with controls that allow the guitarist to manipulate various parameters of the effect. Common controls include the rate or speed of the phase shifting, which determines how quickly the peaks and troughs move through the frequency spectrum. Another typical control is the depth, which adjusts the intensity of the effect by varying the extent of the phase shift. Some phasers also offer resonance or feedback controls, which emphasize certain frequencies and can create more pronounced, dramatic effects. These adjustable parameters make the phaser a versatile tool, capable of producing subtle modulation to extreme, spacey sounds.
The phaser effect has a rich history in music, with notable usage across different genres. In the 1970s, phasers became particularly popular in rock and funk music, with bands like Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones using them to create psychedelic and immersive soundscapes. Songs like “Breathe” by Pink Floyd and “Shattered” by The Rolling Stones showcase the distinct, swirling sound of the phaser. Over the years, phasers have continued to evolve, with modern digital models offering more precise control and additional features. Despite technological advancements, the core appeal of the phaser remains its ability to transform a guitar’s tone, adding a dynamic, textured quality that can enhance any musical piece.
