New Alexander Luminous Phaseshifter Guitar Effects Pedal

From Alexander:

We sent a team of sonic scientists deep into the arctic circle on a secret mission: to capture bits of the Aurora Borealis so we could transmute them into a pedal. What emerged was Luminous, equal parts phaseshifter and swirly glowing haze machine. It dances and hovers with the utmost mystery, occasionally imperceptible while frequently vivid. And it glows in the dark, because of course it does.

You may have heard the joke that “phasers are just boneless flangers,” and that’s kind of true! We like to think of phasing as a more round and liquid sound, one that sits in a mix a lot better than the sharp / angular tone of flanging. Luminous gives you ten distinct flavours of phaser, from very subtle to incredibly intense, plus the ability to save your favourite sounds to instant-access presets.

The Leap Series improves on our popular Neo Series platform: stereo audio input and output with phase correction, low-noise direct-coupled audio path, improved headroom and frequency response, FXCore DSP with more than 8x the processing power of previous Neo Series pedals, and 32 onboard presets (4 banks of 8).

PHASER ENGINES:

• CLASSIC: Versatile studio phaser, configurable between 2 and 24 phase stages.
• DUAL: Two independent phase shifters, configurable as Series, Parallel, Stereo, or Split. Phaser B may be locked or inverted to the LFO for Phase A.
• PHASE DELAY: Clean digital delay (up to 800ms) with an 8-stage phaser on the delay trails.
• K-TREM: Inspired by vintage tuck-and-roll amps — phase vibrato combined with tremolo.
• DYNAMIC: 8-stage phaser controlled by your playing dynamics (Rate, Depth, or Manual).
• INFINITE: Combines a Bode-inspired frequency shifter with a phaser bank for infinitely rising or falling phase.
• FLYING PAN: Classic ’70s style panned phaser (best in stereo).
• PATTERN: Rhythmic step-sequenced phaser with 8 selectable patterns.
• UNIQUE: Inspired by an incandescent-powered Japanese effect from the 1960s.
• PHLANGER: Combines phaser and flanger in a single mode; use the Time control to mix between them.
