ROLAND PHASE FIVE (boxed)
A rare, near mint Roland AP-5 Phase Five pedal for sale in perfect working order.
Comes with the original box.
These units were amongst the earliest pedals made by the Roland Corporation in Japan in the mid seventies. It's a great-sounding vintage effect pedal - lovely rich phasing effects - the speed ramps up or down between the fast and slow settings (using the footswitch on the right) just like a Leslie speaker. The touch control option increases the phasing intensity as you play louder - very expressive…
This unit is in perfect working order and remarkable cosmetic condition given it's age: there are a just a few minor dings to the casing - see the detailed photos.
The box is showing its age as you would expect - the glue has gone along one edge but other than that it is holding together.
100v Japanese model – it should work fine on North American mains 110/115v without a transformer, but you should check your local mains voltage first. A step-down transformer can be used in the UK/EU. We do not recommend using cheap generic Chinese mains transformers and can supply a high quality UK-made transformer if required.
