======
We love a Bi-Phase (it’s in our top three phasers for sure) and we’re not alone: not only are they a staple effect of many dub reggae producers (Lee Perry most notably), but they’re widely-used with guitars/synths/keys etc in a wide variety of genres. A truly legendary effect, essentially it is two of Mike Beigel’s optical phaser circuits (aka the Phasor II) in one housing, with ability to route the output of one through the other, and link, or not, the sweep rates. Note that you can also use each phaser separately.
As used by the Smashing Pumpkins on Siamese Dream:
“This is one of the secrets to our secret sound. This is the Mutron Biphase. We run everything through it – everything. It’s fabulous” – Butch Vig
And of course, Lee Perry and many dub/reggae artists that have followed – hi-hats, guitars, keys all sound ‘proper’ through a Bi-Phase.
Condition
Cosmetically exceptional for one of these – they are heavy duty but the cases are prone to picking up scuffs and marks. This one seems to have been protected by use of the preset sheets that came with it. The paintwork is very clean – there are some marks on the silver part (on the left mostly), and some oxidation around the power switch. Foot switch has some marks and dings.
