A/DA Final Phase

The A/DA Final Phase represents the latest in phase shifter technology. The FINAL PHASE is capable of producing a very broad range of sound colorations, dramatically enhancing the effect of any amplified musical instrument, voice or percussive instrument.

Electronic phasing takes place when a signal is divided, one half slightly delayed, then remixed with the original signal. This “delay” only occurs at certain frequencies and is referred to as phase shift (when the delay occurs at all frequencies, the effect is called flanging). When the phase shift of the delayed signal differs by 180 degrees relative to the original signal, a cancellation, called a notch, is generated when they are remixed. The FINAL PHASE generates 5 notches, which when moved back and forth across the sound spectrum, for example, produces the classic rotating speaker effect.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

The 2009 Reissue A/DA Final Phase is designed by the original designers of the late 1970s A/DA Final Phases using very similar parts and exactly the same parts in the all-analog signal path.  The differences between your Reissue Final Phase and the original A/DA Final Phases are:

1. The Reissue has true “hardwire” bypass and the originals did not.
2. The Reissue Overdrive (distortion) has been re-voiced to get a more modern sounding distortion, while keeping the original distortion tone and feel by backing off the new Overdrive Control.  In effect we have added an “11” to the Overdrive.  As you approach the maximum setting, the bass resonance increases and the highs become more complex.
3. The printed circuit board (PCB) has a different layout, but is all through-hole design, using full-size carbon film resistors and precision polyester film capacitors for the highest quality signal path.  There are no surface mount components in your Reissue Final Phase.

A/DA Flanger

Two years in the making ! David Tarnowski the original A/DA owner and designer has brought back his original Flanger !

Mr. Modulation is BACK !

The ADA Flanger is a second generation electronic flanger capable of producing a broad range of sound colorations, dramatically enhancing the effect of any amplified musical instrument, voice or percussive instrument.

The term “flanging” refers to the technique of manually varying the speed of two tape recorders independently with the same program material, while mixing down in recording studios. The ADA Flanger electronically simulates varying speed in real time, during the performance.

The capabilities of the ADA Flanger are numerous and astounding. Effects such as rotating speakers, chilling vibrato, “jet” sounds, resonance modification, intensified studio flanging and incredible filter matrices, to name a few, suggest that experimentation will certainly find the sound you have been looking for.

When two identical signals separated by a short time delay are added together, reinforcements (peaks) and cancellations (notches) occur in the output level. The positions of the peaks and notches are mathematically related to the time delay as can be seen in the graph opposite. The example shows the “comb filter” that occurs at the output of the ADA Flanger at 1 msec time delay. If a 500 Hz signal is introduced into the Flanger at 1 msec delay, it will not be heard at the output. However a 1000 Hz signal will be reinforced, thus heard at the output. By changing the time delay, we move the position of the peaks and notches up or down the audio frequency spectrum creating flanging effects.
