Phaser is an effect that adds a phase-shifted sound to the				Speed	SLOW, FAST	Simultaneously switch the rota-

movement of the high range and low range rotors can be set
independently, the unique type of modulation characteristic
of these speakers can be simulated quite closely. This effect is
most suitable for electric organ Patches.
