Encyclopedia > Phaser (electric guitar)

Phase-shift effect, also known as "phasing", is commonly used in conjuction with a distorted signal in order to produce a swirling, spiraling sound. Notable examples of use of a phaser include Edward Van Halen's "Eruption" and other Van Halen tracks such as "Ain't Talkin bout love", and their cover of The Kinks' "you really got me".

Phaser (effect) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (415 words)
A stereo phaser is usually two identical phasers modulated by a quadrature signal, i.e., the output of the oscillators for the left and right channels are a quarter-wave out of phase.
Phasers are mostly found as plugins for sound editing software, as a part of a monolithic rackmount sound effect unit, and as "stompbox" guitar effects.
A flanger is a type of phaser where the notches are uniformly spaced, in particular, where the notches are created by mixing the signal with a delayed version of a signal.

The main purpose of the bridge on an acoustic guitar is to transfer the vibration from the strings to the soundboard, which vibrates the air inside of the guitar, thereby amplifying the sound produced by the strings.
Guitars usually have six strings, although there are variations on this, the most common being a twelve-string guitar; the seven string guitar; the ukulele, which has four strings; and the bass guitar, which usually has four strings but also exists in five, six, eight, and twelve-string versions.
Archtop guitars were immediately adopted upon their release by both jazz and country musicians and have remained particularly popular in jazz music, usually electric guiter using thicker strings (higher guaged round wound and flat wound) than acoustic guitars.
