Jean Michel Jarre's Effects Pedals

I used a lot of pedals like the Electro–Harmonix Small Stone phase shifter to create the modulations and delays, and for the remake I had a pair of Revox B77s for tape delays. Actually, I would say that 40 or 50 percent of the music is coming from the Revox machines, because I was quite extreme, by having a signal direct on one side and delay on the other, almost at the same percentage.

The pedal was later gifted to Matt Berry, who references the pedal in 2020 Sound on Sound interview.

He is also an avid pedal collector; the Small Stone Phase on the upper tier of his pedalboard was a gift from Jean‑Michel Jarre, who used it on his seminal Oxygène album.

In 2018 podcast Bonus Episode: The Sounds of Oxygene, Jarre explained the use of Small Stone.

What I did was I used some pedals from the guy from Electro-Harmonix. He created some fantastic pedals, such as Electric Mistress or Small Stone. You have different versions of Small Stone, which is interesting in the electronic music. (...) The number two has a story. The real sound of "Oxygen" is when the 9V battery is slightly used. When you go down to 9 volts, it has this silky, kind of phasy sound that makes it so soft. You can hear the battery when it is totally new, then it sounds a bit harsh.
