Phaser is a classic modulation audio effect that produces a series of peaks and troughs with varying time across the frequency spectrum of an audio input signal’s EQ. These peaks and troughs are controlled by an LFO or (low-frequency oscillator) to produce a sweeping effect sound called phaser. We have done a roundup of some of the best phaser VST plugins on the market so that you can recreate rich phaser effects in your mix.
Phasers have been a staple of music production for many decades now. Especially, if you are a guitarist who wants to add phaser to your rhythm, lead or solo guitar tracks and spruce up your mixes, these phaser VST have pretty much got you covered. So without further ado, let’s get started fellas.
