MSL Pedals Releases the Night Witch

MSL Pedals Releases the Night Witch

An updated take on the classic Roland AP7 Jet Phaser with a few modern features.

Oregon (November 4, 2020) -- The Night Witch Fuzz + Ramping Phaser is our take on the Roland AP7 Jet Phaser. This classic circuit has been modified and updated for today’s pedalboard without losing any of the original’s unique characteristics. Changes include expanded Fuzz controls: Volume, Tone, and Fuzz; individual true bypass footswitches for each effect; a 4 / 8 stage Depth toggle switch; and internal charge pump for standard negative tip 9vdc power supplies. The ramping footswitch will slowly speed up from the Rate control’s setting to the fastest rate possible. When disengaged it will slow down from the fastest rate to your Rate control setting acting like a two-speed Leslie. We have also included an internal trimmer to boost the phaser output to unity level. This pedal is designed for use by guitarists or bassists. The tone control is unique in that it cuts the highs while boosting the bass and vice versa. With a smaller footprint and price point, the Night Witch will provide timeless fuzz and ramping phaser tones that can be heard on classic albums that vary from the Isley Brothers to the Sex Pistols.The pedal is currently available in Teal, Purple, and Black. The Night Witch is $300 plus shipping.

Features:

  • Individual Bypass Footswitches for each effect
  • Expanded Fuzz Controls: Volume, Tone, and Fuzz
  • 4 / 8 stage Phaser Depth switch
  • Phaser Ramp Footswitch
  • Smaller pedalboard footprint
  • Standard negative tip 9vdc powering
  • Cutting / Boosting Tone control allows for Bass or Guitar use

Roy Buchanan poses with his Les Paul in this Alligator Records promo shot.

He’ll forever be remembered for his unparalleled mastery of the Telecaster, but Roy Buchanan kept an open mind when it came to his guitars.

Perhaps you’ve read something where an artist or a brand is dubbed “authentic.” It’s marketing hype that’s both real and manufactured, but I assure you it can be both a legit and important concept. The problem is when it gets used in the first person. Who judges whether something is authentic or not? Critics? Magazines? The internet? A brand itself? What does it mean to you? We often refer to things as the “real deal,” so is that the same? Not exactly.
