Double the Swirl: Keeley’s New Oaxa Phaser Unleashes Two Independent Engines for Hypnotic Bass Depth
Keeley Electronics has introduced the Oaxa Phaser, which they describe as an “advanced-yet-user-friendly pedal.” The circuit includes two independent phasers to create swirling, multidimensional tones.
“Two phasers with slightly different LFO speeds can lead to dramatic and inspiring multidimensional layers and textures,” Keeley writes. “The Oaxa Phaser offers you ten stage, four stage, and uni-vibe phasing all with just three large vintage-style knobs. Alt features offer you a one-knob compressor and an additional low-end depth control.”
The pedal also has versatile routing, allowing you to put the phasers in series or parallel. True stereo processing also makes it ideal for stereo reverb and delay effects loops.
The Keeley Oaxa is available in purple with an option for custom shop black. It is shipping now for $199.
