Subdecay Baby Quasar Phaser

After more than a year in development Subdecay tried just about every analog phaser design possible. They wanted to make sure that this pedal was an improvement over the old Quasar in several ways.

The sweep of this phaser truly makes your head spin. The range is much wider, and the controls respond in a much more intuitive fashion. Headroom is not a problem with most guitars, and can be powered by a 12 volt DC power supply for even more headroom.

Somehow they stuffed all of this into a tiny package.

Just like the older Quasar, the rate can go super fast or super slow. The "voice" knob makes the efffect go from subtle to chewy.

The Baby Quasar was an offshoot of the "super deluxe Quasar" that they are still working on. They built one simply to prove that the analog portion of their design was as close to perfect as possible, and... well... to make sure it actually worked :0)

The guys stared saying "Wow that thing sounds great on it's own." The name "Baby Quasar" kind of caught on at their shop, and a new pedal was born.

The new design is VCA based. VCA'a are not used in stompbox designs too often, but they sound unique. More headroom that Jfet designs. More consistent sweep that opto based phasers. Not as cold and grating as some OTA based phasers, especially with bright guitars and amps.

NOTE: The Baby Quasar will not run off a battery. Externally powered only. Power supply is not included.
