Mutron Biphase for sale.
Supplied with both the original footswitch and plus our custom double switch. This has an expression pedal socket so you can access the phaser sweep capability that normally requires the rare C-100 Opti-pot (knob on the side allows you to adjust the sweep range).
This machine is currently set up for 110v but we can switch the voltage to 220/240v if required.
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.
Good overall with some scuffs and dings, detailed in the photos, but what may not be immediately obvious is it also has some sun fading of the blue on the right hand side of the face. The shots show this, but initially it just looks like it is due to the lighting as it is a very gradual gradient of colour. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.

We scanned in all the settings sheets from this Bi-phase for people to use and download. And we made a blank recall sheet as well...

Complete text from the original Mu-tron Bi-Phase manual. While the Bi-Phase isn't necessarily our absolute "favourite" phaser, there's no escaping the fact that it's one that gets regular use for its versatility and great sound.
We can't stop here, this is bat country! Our next auction (November 22nd) features some head-turning, show-stopping synths, however we also wanted to put the spotlight...
