Description

Edit description

Revive the golden era of sound with the Ross R-99 Phaser, a meticulously crafted homage to the original ROSS phaser circuit. Whether you're chasing the legendary tones of the 70s or seeking to carve out a unique sonic path, this pedal delivers with its versatile OTA-based design. The R-99 effortlessly transitions from smooth, subtle sweeps to mind-bending, swirling psychedelia, offering a rich palette of vintage-style modulation.

The intuitive control layout features 'Rate' and 'Recycle' knobs, allowing you to tailor the speed and intensity of your phase effects with precision. What sets the R-99 apart is its dual-mode capability, toggling between a classic Analog Phaser and a captivating Univibe mode inspired by iconic Japanese effects of the late 60s. Perfect for both the studio and live performances, the R-99 ensures your sound remains vibrant and expressive.

Modern enhancements include a soft-touch bypass switch, drastically reducing noise for a cleaner signal, and an LED indicator to keep you in the loop. Manufactured in Kansas City by JHS Pedals, the R-99 is housed in a classic Ross-style enclosure, making it a perfect blend of retro aesthetics and contemporary functionality.

Key Features:

Faithful recreation of the original ROSS phaser circuit with OTA-based design
Dual-mode switch: Analog Phaser and Univibe
Simple Rate and Recycle controls for dynamic modulation
Soft-touch bypass switch for seamless activation
LED status indicator for easy operation
Reduced noise floor for cleaner sound
Standard 9V DC Negative Center power with 42mA consumption
