The Fender Lost Highway analog phaser adds unique shades of color, movement, and texture to chords and leads. It sports a look and tone unlike any phaser pedal you’ve played before. An all-original, Fender-designed circuit resides in a robust aluminum chassis and packs some seriously hot tonal commodities. First up is the footswitchable speed control, which toggles fast and slow phasing speeds — each with independent rate and depth — for slow, breathtaking dimensionality to organ-like faster rates, all without touching a knob. A wave switch provides access to triangle and sine waveforms for overdriven Eddie leads to subtler Cure sweetness, alongside switchable 4- and 8-stage phasing for added or reduced resonance. Also unique is the Lost Highway’s Sensitivity control, which increases modulation rate as you pick harder — another sweet hands-free feature. A Fender amp jewel LED gives your pedalboard that classic one-two audiovisual punch.
When we ran the Lost Highway phaser pedal through its paces here at Music Experience, we were impressed by its durable, player-friendly design. It all starts with a rugged yet lightweight anodized aluminum chassis that’s tailor-made for heavy stomping. LED-backlit knobs make it child’s play to see your settings on a dark stage. Swapping out batteries is a breeze, thanks to a patent-applied-for magnetically latched 9-volt battery door.
Made popular in the late-1960s and early 1970s, phasers create a sense of motion and add dimension to your sound. The Lost Highway Phaser brings powerful, flexible analog phasing to your rig. Foot-switchable Fast and Slow speeds—each with their own independent Rate and Depth controls—let you easily alternate between slow, moody phase shifting all the way to rapid and warped modulation. The Wave toggle switch selects between Sine and Triangle waveforms while switchable 4- and 8-stage phasing makes it easy to add extra resonance on the fly. The Sensitivity control allows modulation rate changes based on your playing dynamics—dig in and the intensity of the phasing increases.
The Lost Highway Phaser is inspired by the design of vintage analog pedals, but features modern controls that give you full command over your sound.
