Model #1482 Phasing Pedal
The Sears Model #1482 Phasing Pedal is a true hidden gem from the golden age of analog effects. Beneath its unassuming Sears branding lies the heart of the legendary Foxx Foot Phaser Studio Model 7 - one of the most expressive and versatile phasers ever made. Housed in a sturdy treadle-style enclosure, the 1482 offers players a unique level of real-time control over their phasing sweeps. The dual-mode treadle allows you to either manually sweep the effect or engage an onboard LFO for automatic modulation, giving you the ability to seamlessly transition between subtle movement and dramatic, wah-like textures. This versatility made the 1482 a favorite among 1970s rock guitarists, who prized its ability to add psychedelic depth and texture to overdriven riffs and solos. Legends like Jimi Hendrix and David Gilmour were known to employ the Foxx version, and the Sears model likely graced the pedalboards of many unsung heroes from the era. Beneath the hood, the 1482 delivers the warm, analog JFET phasing that defined the sound of classic rock. Its lush modulation stacks beautifully with fuzz and distortion, evoking the mind-bending tones that defined a generation. Whether you're chasing vintage vibes or seeking to expand your sonic palette, the Sears Model #1482 is a true hidden gem that deserves a place on any serious guitarist's board.
