Estradin Analog Russian Phaser

images via this craigslist post.
"This is a rare soviet military type phaser. I have owned the Moog 12-stage, Boss, Ibanez and DOD phasers and this phase has a unique sound of it's own.

The front controls are frequency, balance and brightness. The back panel features input, dry and wet outputs, and a shift switch. A red LED flashes to the rate of phasing. The pedal is 7 ½” wide by 6” long. Estradin made synthesizers in Russia in the 60's and 70's.

I’m including a brand new Step Up/Down Transformer 220V-110V setup to plug and play a unique phaser sound. The pots are not scratchy and it is not noisy."

"one of Vangelis's finest moments. Apologies for the dreadful sound quality , i really need a camera with a direct audio feed. No point in playing it live, too much going on, very complex arrangement (well it was for me!) Juno 6, 106 and microkorg doing the bass, ESQ doing CS80 type lead , juno G doing strings and grand piano, Korg X5 doing those "80's" drums. When I get a proper camera I will overdub it with proper audio quality because i'm quite proud of how it turned out. Not entirely accurate I know, but still it was a great challenge for me"
