SA241 Lunar Phaser User’s Guide 11
Effect Types
The Lunar includes three basic effect types, with more effects available in the Neuro mobile app.
Vibe
The Vibe Phaser effect was modeled after the Shin-Ei Univibe, the original rotating speaker simulator
(i.e. the original phaser pedal). This effect contains 2 relatively wide frequency notches spaced
farther from one another than a typical phaser.
Classic
The Classic Phaser effect is based on the same idea as the classic Phase 90, which uses 4 stages of
phase shifters to create two relatively closely-spaced notches in the spectrum. This is the “chewy”
phaser sound that has become nearly ubiquitous in rock and funk music, and feels right at home on
guitars, basses, keyboards and electric pianos.
Multi
As a rule, every pair of phase shift stages creates one notch in the frequency response, so the Multi
Phaser effect, which has 8 stages, creates 4 notches. This abundance of notches creates a more
animated phaser effect when compared to the Classic and Vibe settings.
Additional Effect Types
Additional effect types can be loaded into the Lunar using the Neuro App on your mobile device (iOS
and Android).
The Lunar Phaser is compatible with Source Audio’s Chorus and Flanger effects, so it is possible to
load chorus, phaser, and flanger effects on the Lunar at the same time.
