ROLAND SPH-323 PHASE SHIFTER

A Roland SPH-323 Phase Shifter for sale in excellent cosmetic condition and superb working order. 

It’s just had a thorough overhaul – many ageing and potentially failing components have been replaced for reliable operation.

These are stunning-sounding phasers as you can hear from the YouTube demo below (with thanks to the uploader):

It has a few minor scuffs and scratches, but overall is in good order for a unit that’s around 30 years old (see detailed photos). It sounds amazing – but please bear in mind this is a vintage analogue unit and can be noisy at extreme settings when compared to digital effects. Some pots and switches can be noisy when they’ve not been used regularly.

From the same highly-regarded rack series as the SDD-320 Dimension D Chorus and the SBF-325 Flanger, the SPH-323 offers a choice of 4 and 8 stage phasing, twin LFOs and CV ins and Mod outs for interfacing with analogue and modular synths. They don’t come up for sale very often and are highly sought-after – easy to see why.

There are no known operational faults with this unit.

(Please note: it is always possible with vintage equipment that some crackly pots/sliders may develop over time when equipment has not been used – even during shipping – this can usually be easily rectified either by use or judicious application of suitable switch-cleaning spray).

It is a Japanese unit that has been converted to UK/EU 240v mains operation.
