"Offered for sale is this Roland Phase Five pedal in perfect working order. These rare units were amongst the earliest pedals made by the Roland Corporation in Japan in the mid seventies. It's a pretty interesting phaser - the speed ramps up or down between the fast and slow settings (using the footswitch on the right) just like a Leslie speaker. Things get really interesting when you select the Touch Control function using the middle switch and adjust the Sensitivity - the phasing gets more intense the harder you play, again ramping up or down. I believe this is a unique effect and is very effective in use, the dynamics of your playing adding a swirling intensity. See the YouTube demo below to get a clearer picture of the effect."

"Vintage Roland AP-5 Phase Five in action. Watch the sensitivity-section affects the phasing - the harder you play, the more phaaaazze you get. Also, see how you can switch between fast and slow phasing using the Continous Control section"
