That seems like an awesome phaser

Also called Schultze Phaser, which my dad has a few records of, and I think is a pretty cool artist

Those things are freakishly expensive. I've since seen three original Schultze Phasers on the bay and two went for less. The other one was some prototype / collectible thing though. But the originals aren't in stompbox format. I would love one of these but shelling out 430 Euro?

Maybe someone clone it? Afaik the magic is in the big ass lightbulbs that this thing uses.

I'd like to see a steel cage death match between the KRP-1 and a Moog Phaser.

Ha ha ha 430 Euros? Good luck with that, overly expensive phaser company.......
While I love what's commonly identified as "krautrock" (and Klaus Schulze in particular) I think this is a tad ridiculous, something about the use of the word "krautrock" in the name immediately turns me off - especially since it's generally regarded as a useless term by the artists, even the actual tune on Faust IV was a joke, bordering on an offensive term. I mean you hear someone - I forget who - talking baout how depressed he feels when he hears that term, and then you get one incarnation of Faust (there's two, you know) using like an identifying flag......
I guess what I'm saying is I wouldn't buy a pedal called the shoegazer and I wouldn't buy a pedal called the krautrocker....... and I rolled my eyes when that rat clone called "the black metal pedal" was released........

Sounds good for sure, but for the money I'd get 3 used Moogerfoogers.

(And the Moog Phaser sounds every bit as good in my opinion. More flexible too.)

I like that it has cv in but the moog has more of that.
Doesn't seem like this has anything on the Moog.

And I wonder if it's even real CV. Homeboy was only demo'ing it with volume pedals. Sometimes folks play fast and loose with the term... One awesome thing about the Moog Phaser is the switchable 12-stage phasing. If you engage 12-stage phasing the first 6 stages are controlled by the internal LFO and then you can control the other 6 stages with CV via the LFO input in the back. This makes for some crazy complex rhythmic phasing possibilities. Hard to explain, but you get the gist.
