Description
If you're a guitarist, producer, or synth player looking to explore rich, analog modulation tones-from classic swirls to more experimental textures-the Asheville Music Tools APH-12 should be on your radar. It's a 12-stage analog phase shifter built for players who want more than just a standard swoosh; think faux-Leslie motion, envelope-filter-style sweeps, and even trem-style chops. With roots in classic phasing but an entirely original design, this one's for folks who like to dial in something a little off the beaten path.
Inside, it's all analog signal path and packed with flexibility. You've got 12 voltage-controlled all-pass filter stages, an LFO that ranges from super slow to audio-rate, and envelope-following capabilities. Each control is musically interactive, thanks to the OTA-based filter section designed by Dave Rossum. There's also a new saturation stage for subtle grit and harmonic content, plus a CV/Expression input to let external gear take over modulation duties.
Despite all that horsepower, it's intuitive to use and easy to fit into any setup. Whether you're running it on a pedalboard or feeding it into a modular system, the APH-12 plays nice thanks to its clean power supply, smart routing, and solid build. We've had this on a few different rigs and it just delivers every time; deep sounds, no fuss, and surprisingly easy to integrate.
