Description

Musitronics Mu-Tron Phasor II Model Phase Pedal Effect (1977), made in Rosemont, New Jersey, United States, aluminum and grey enamel finish. Musictronics, more familiarly known as Mu-Tron, was launched in 1972 in Rosemont, New Jersey by Mike Beigel and Aaron Newman from a somewhat accidental beginning. Beigel was an engineer at Guild working on a line of synthesizers for the synth boom of the 70's. His project was scrapped after Guild president Al Dronge was killed in an accident and replaced by someone with less interest in the guitar company making a foray into synthesis. With these orphaned ideas in tow, he and Newman began to simplify their synthesizer sounds into small effect boxes that set the psychedelic tone of the 70's. Mu-Tron's offerings were used extensively from everyone from Jerry Garcia and Lee "Scratch" Perry to a new wave of effect-laden guitar heroes like Kevin Shields and Billy Corgan. Like so many great guitar-world experiments of the 70's, the Mu-Tron company was fairly short lived. After several years of cultural influence and colorful collaborations with the likes of Dan Armstrong, Mu-Tron struggled to keep afloat and sold out to legendary synth company ARP in 1978. Unfortunately, this led to the end of Mu-tron as ARP themselves went under in 1979. After long periods of trial, error, Gizmo, and inactivity, a revived Mu-Tron now offer more user-friendly, and much smaller footprint, reissues of their classic pedals thanks to the advent of modern pedal making technology. The Mu-Tron Phasor II was the improved follow up to the cool but comparatively primitive original Phasor (a simplified answer to the iconic Bi-Phase); rather than the two knob speed and depth control, the Phasor II has three controls: depth, rate, and feedback. This allows for more versatility in controlling the phaser shape, and also more possibilities for trippy knob manipulation. In addition, all three knobs are fully sweepable pots versus the former which only features a 3-way selector for depth. Length is 8 3/4 in. (22.2 cm.), 5 1/8 in. (13 cm.) width, and 2 1/4 in. (5.7 cm.) high., 3.2 lbs. This pedal appears all original with some typical cosmetic damage attributed to honest playwear but the classic '70s graphics are largely undisturbed.It is missing 1 of the knobs and switches are clean and fully functional, and the original transformer . A 1970's classic, solid but not including any original packaging. Excellent - Condition.
