Type 968 Phase Shifter
The Countryman Type 968 Phase Shifter is a true sonic chameleon, capable of transforming your guitar's voice in delightfully unexpected ways. Unlike the swirling, seasick tones of your typical phaser, this rackmount unit delivers a more refined, complex modulation that'll have your audience transfixed. At its core, the Type 968 uses an innovative 8-stage phasing circuit to generate its signature undulating waves. But what sets it apart is the level of control on tap. Dedicated knobs for speed, depth, and resonance let you dial in everything from subtle, shimmering textures to mind-bending, oscillating sweeps. And the inclusion of a "feedback" control is a game-changer, allowing you to create lush, evolving pads that seem to take on a life of their own. Historically, the Type 968 has been a favorite of country and folk players seeking to add a touch of vintage-tinged psychedelia to their sound. Legendary session guitarist Brent Mason, for instance, used it to craft the hypnotic phasing on countless hit records. But its versatility extends far beyond those genres - prog rockers, ambient musicians, and sound designers have all embraced the Type 968's unique sonic signature. So whether you're looking to add a little shimmer and movement to your clean tones, or conjure up mind-bending, alien textures, the Countryman Type 968 Phase Shifter is a must-try addition to your sonic arsenal.
