Undaunted by that inconvenient fact, I gave the old circuit to our chief engineer, R.G. The reason why E-H changed the circuit over the years is that the main chips used in the old version haven’t been made for decades. We compared it to a Small Stone and it didn’t sound anything like it… the old one sounded infinitely better. 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. One of the guys in the office brought in an old “Electra” phaser from the mid 70’s which sounded better than anything else we tried. 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. On its own, the GarageTone Oil Can Phaser gives warmth and movement to textured rhythm parts. Placed before distortion or overdrive, the Oil Can is perfect for classic or modern rock, ska, punk, and more. With both Speed and Depth knobs, the Oil Can Phaser has a wide variety of warm analog tones, from swooshing to pulsating. The GarageTone “Oil Can” Phaser from Truetone is a classic sounding analog phaser.
