Summary

TLDRIn this episode of 'Dan Explains It All,' Dan introduces the Dweller Phase Repeater, an innovative pedal combining a phaser with an internal delay. He explains its unique feature: the ability to add delay to each stage of the phaser, controlled by a 'stretch' knob. The Dweller offers a mix control, rate and depth control, regeneration control, two toggle switches for voice and wave type, and standard in and out jacks. Dan demonstrates various sound effects, from traditional phaser sounds to complex, oscillating echoes. He highlights the pedal’s versatility with its four and eight stage settings, different waveforms, and the impact of the regeneration control. Additionally, the Dweller features an expression jack for foot control, offering dynamic real-time manipulation. Priced at $199, the Dweller is presented as a novel, flexible tool for musicians.

Takeaways

  • 📢 Dweller is a unique pedal that combines a phaser with a delay to create a 'phase repeater'.
  • 🔊 The pedal features two toggle switches and five knobs to control various aspects of the sound, including mix, rate, depth, regeneration, and stretch.
  • 🔧 It allows users to add delay inside each stage of the phaser, offering a knob to adjust this effect.
  • 💧 The mix control ranges from fully dry to fully wet signal, affecting the balance between the original and affected sound.
  • 🔄 The rate and depth controls function similarly to those on a traditional phaser, adjusting the speed and intensity of the effect.
  • 🔥 The regeneration control intensifies the phasing sound, making it more extreme and resonant.
  • 🔢 Voice and wave toggles offer further sound customization, allowing selection between different phaser stages and waveforms.
  • 📌 The stretch control introduces a delay to each phaser stage, significantly altering the sound character.
  • 📹 An expression jack is available for external foot control, providing dynamic real-time manipulation of the stretch effect.
  • 💻 The Dweller is compatible with standard pedal power supplies and features soft touch switching for noiseless operation.

Q & A

  • What is a phase repeater?

    -A phase repeater is a phaser effect with delay added inside each phaser stage.

  • What are the main controls on the Dweller pedal?

    -The Dweller pedal has two toggle switches (for voice and wave shape), five knobs (mix, rate, depth, regen, and stretch), an expression jack, and standard input/output jacks.

  • How does the mix control work?

    -The mix control blends between the dry signal and the fully wet, phased signal.

  • What is the purpose of the rate and depth controls?

    -The rate and depth controls work similarly to a regular phaser, controlling the speed and intensity of the phasing effect.

  • What does the regen control do?

    -The regen control increases the intensity and resonance of the phaser effect, making it sound more extreme and accentuated.

  • What is the difference between the four-stage and eight-stage phaser modes?

    -The four-stage phaser has a more familiar, old-school phaser sound, while the eight-stage phaser has more frequency notches and a more intense effect.

  • What are the different wave shapes available on the Dweller?

    -The Dweller offers three wave shapes: sine wave, triangle wave, and a pseudo-random step function.

  • How does the stretch control affect the sound?

    -The stretch control delays each phaser stage, creating a washed-out, time-stretched effect that blends the phaser and delay characteristics.

  • What is the purpose of the expression jack?

    -The expression jack allows you to connect an external foot controller to control the stretch parameter, enabling real-time manipulation of the time-stretching effect.

  • Can the Dweller function as a standalone delay pedal?

    -Yes, by bringing the depth control down to zero, the Dweller can act as a regular analog-style delay pedal with control over feedback and time.
