MODE MACHINES KRP-1 Krautrock Phaser

via this auction
"This is the wooden sides version of the Phaser...
Ultimative analogue phaser! The KRP-1 is a 100% true discrete analogue phaser with photo-couplers which design is based on the legendary "Compact Phasing A" from Gerd Schulte Audio Electronik. This was used in the 70s & 80s by many famous people like Klaus Schulze, Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream on their records.
The very special sound of the original phaser, which was lovingly named "Krautrock Phaser" or "Schulze Phaser, is unforgettable until today and very sought-after amongst vintage fans. The first run of the KRP-1 was made in 1999 where we presented it at the NAMM Show in Los Angeles. Since then it has been redesigned and improved to reach the demands to create an authentic vintage sound of the 70s. Some new ideas to improve the features have been implemented, so this is not only a sound-wise 1:1 copy of the original, but even has many more practical features and modifikations. The KRP-1 generates from one mono audiosignal very unique stereo effects where the amplitude can be controlled optionally by using two externes CV-pedals. There are four effect parameters with big knobs: Phasing, Oscillator Period, Feedback and Modulation. By using the heavy-duty bypass push button you can switch the effect on and off. The road-ready metal chassis and vintage style knobs generate a classic vintage feeling and there are even optional wooden side panels. All connections are on the rear plate by using 6.3mm jacks. The power supply is external and supplied with the machine.
Everybody who enjoys the sound of the 70s from Kraftwerk & Co. will love the phaser..."
