Selling a Ludwig Phase II Synthesizer FX Pedal. This item comes from personal collection of Mike Elizondo, please see my other listings for some great gear. The Phase Il, made in limited numbers during 1970-71, is a vintage FX guitar unit. It includes a fuzz, a tremolo (Animation), and a voltage-controlled filtering section (Formant Trajectories-Parallel, Counter, and Vowel switches).

The circuit uses only discreet components. A control panel contains seven switches (light/ change color) and four sliders which alter several eftects, including fuzz, voltage-controlled filters and gating, combined in a box that unfolds to reveal a rocker pedal and four footswitches.

There is nothing out there in today's market that duplicates the animation and filtering possibilities.

With some practice, many unusual and unique sounds are possible.

Some of the effects (including the famous "Yoy, yoy" sound) can be heard on tracks by Primus "Pork Soda", Pearl Jam "Binaural", Sonic Youth "The Diamond Sea", "Washing Machine" and Beck's "Cold Brains" intro. Specifications:

- Fuzz (includes voice fuzz)

- Animation - FFM, Fuzz RPT or both and Fast/ slow start (switches),

Alter Intensity and Rate with three sliders.

- Voltage-Controlled Filtering - "Format Trajectories": Parallel, Counter, Vowel.

- Foot Pedal with Primary and Stereo outputs (Bypass Balance control), Lo/Hi Z inputs (Lo Z Balance control) plus four foot switches:

Stereo, Bypass, Animation, Fuzz.
