Chapter 56: Moogerfooger 12-Stage Phaser
The Moogerfooger 12-Stage Phaser combines a
6- or 12-stage phaser with a wide-ranging vari-
able LFO and is available in TDM, RTAS, and
AudioSuite formats. Start with subtle tremolo or
radical modulation effects, then crank the dis-
tortion and resonant filters for unbelievable
new tones—all featuring classic MOOG
®
sound.
How the Moogerfooger 12-Stage Phaser Works
The Moogerfooger 12-Stage Phaser offers 6 or 12
stages of MOOG resonant analog filters. Unlike
the Lowpass Filter, however, the filters are ar-
ranged in an allpass configuration.
A phaser works by sweeping the mid-shift fre-
quency of the filters back and forth. As this hap-
pens, the entire frequency response of the out-
put moves back and forth as well. The result is
the classic phaser “whooshing” sound as differ-
ent frequency bands of the signal are alternately
emphasized and then attenuated.
