Overview
The Smoothie is based on the classic MXR® Phase 45™, which is a two stage phaser driven by simple LFO. The input is fed through a filter network and controlled resistively by two JFET transistors. The dry and wet signals are then mixed via R16/17 just before the output. This is the perfect phaser pedal for slow, subtle tone enhancement or fast but gentle swirls. To learn more about how phasers function, please refer to “The Technology of Phase Shifters and Flangers” by R.G. Keen.
