The Chameleon™ is a 24 bit DSP professional guitar preamp providing 12 unparalleled effect algorithms and superb sound quality never before heard from a digital guitar preamp. Complete programmability and full MIDI implementation are coupled with a user friendly operating format to ensure that designing unique and useful preset sounds is as simple as possible.

In addition, the Chameleon™ also features: - Advanced Speaker Simulation provides a strikingly realistic approximation of a miked speaker cabinet at line-level for direct mixer input or headphone listening. - Full parametric Pre and Post EQ gives the user complete EQ control over each preset. - Hush Systems' HUSH® Noise Reduction provides noise reduction while playing and complete silence when not. - "Variac" Simulation, like a conventional Variac, adjusts the level at which the preamp begins to distort. This provides more gain in high-gain applications, and allows for full-bodied cleaner presets which just begin to distort when the strings are attacked harder. Internal Wah-Wah allows the player to use an expression pedal for Wah-Wah effects instead of running long audio cables out to a conventional Wah-Wah - pedal. - High-quality Digital Effects, including: - Reverb, Phasing, Tremolo, Flanging - Pitch Shifting, Compression, Chorus and Delay.

• XLR Outputs for direct mixer input.

Like all the Maxon Vintage Series models, the PH-350 Rotary Phaser was designed to offer an extremely versatile effect unit that provides consistent, low-noise, transparent operation. The PH-350's features were selected after careful study of other phasing units in order to provide as varied and useful a tone palette as possible. Likewise, certain functions and features were disregarded in order to keep performance intuitive and trouble-free.

Like the CP101 and AF-9, the PH-350 circuit uses CdS Photocouplers to achieve its unique voice. While extremely popular in the 1970s, Photocoupler's have generally been abandoned in modern circuits due to their high cost, large size, and wide tolerance ranges. However, their resulting tone simply cannot be replicated using other components ­ a truly liquid, vowel-like, three-dimensional phasing effect that is only compounded by the PH-350's multiple control parameters. To maximize performance, the PH-350's Photocouplers are matched for the smoothest phase shifting possible.

In addition to the standard Rate and Depth controls to vary speed and intensity of the phasing effect, the PH-350 also features switchable four, six, and ten stage phasing. As the phasing stages increase, the effect becomes more dramatic as focus is placed on the upper register harmonics. By changing the amount of phasing stages the PH-350 can emulate a wide variety of phase shifters, from classic units of the 1970's all the way to modern-day models.

Like the CS-550, the PH-350's third rotary control is its secret weapon. The PH-350's Feedback control features a center-detent at 12 o'clock which allows for both positive-phase and negative-phase feedback. Positive-phase feedback works in the standard way to increase the peak points of the phase signal as the control is turned clockwise. Negative-phase feedback works by "breaking" the peak points of the phase signal and "dephasing" the original signal. The resulting reversed-phase signal is delayed slightly from the original, creating a dramatic "scooped" effect unique to the PH-350. The Feedback control is calibrated to reach self-oscillation at either extreme, yielding a further array of bizarre oscillation effects.

Lastly, the PH-350's stereo outputs allow panning of the effect between two amplifiers or channels. The PH-350's ultra-wide frequency response and low noise allow it to process line level signals as well as standard instrument signals.

Ideal for the studio, essential for live performance, the PH-350 Rotary Phaser supplies a virtually unlimited array of classic and modern phasing effects.
