The GarageTone ÌÕOil CanÌÒ Phaser from Truetone (formerly Visual Sound) is a classic sounding analog phaser.
With both Speed and Depth knobs, the Oil Can Phaser has a wide variety of warm analog tones, from swooshing to pulsating. Placed before distortion or overdrive, the Oil Can is perfect for classic or modern rock, ska, punk, and more. On its own, the GarageTone Oil Can Phaser gives warmth and movement to textured rhythm parts.
When we were first thinking about making a phaser, we pulled in a bunch of old and new phasers from other companies to see which sounded the best to our ears. One of the guys in the office brought in an old ÌÕElectraÌÒ phaser from the mid 70̥s which sounded better than anything else we tried. We did some research on it and found out that it was actually made by Electro Harmonix for the Electra Guitar Company around 1975-76 and was in fact a re-housed Small Stone. We compared it to a Small Stone and it didn̥t sound anything like itÌä the old one sounded infinitely better.
