Do phase pedals sound the same as phase reversal with a dp/dt switch?

I'm curious about this. MXR makes that orange Phase 90 pedal, sais it makes those "swirly phase tones". Does this do the same thing as rigging phase reversal with a dp/dt switch?

No.

do they sound they same, or am i way off about 2 things that do something totally different? (i don't know shlt about effects, i never use them)

the orange pedals are an effect called "phaser" the 2 things are totally different, phaser is a tone/pitch shifter kinda thing while reverse phase is the state of electrical relation, which is usually acounts for a nasal tone.

That's a great idea, though. If you could patent a phase reversal pedal you would make a killing. $$$$$$$ :saeek:

The pedal itself wouldn't be hard to make. You would have to have separate signals coming from each pickup, though. If you used a stereo cable you could, in theory make a pedal that would give you the options of putting the pickups in parallel or series and in or out of phase. Basically, you'd have all of the pickup switching options you do in a guitar but in footswitch form. You could even have it loop back into the guitar if you wanted a master tone and/or a master volume control. I'm not quite sure just how useful it would be, but I can see how it would be possible.

if there was a pedal that made your pickups go out of phase, i would definetly buy one.

someone is going to read this and end up a millionaire lol

On the other hand... a simply $5 mod can get you the same effect, i'd never pay of for a pedal that could do that.

yeah, but an average ameture guitarist won't know that.

plus it would give you more options. you could use your 4 pots for other things, and not have to use one on phasing.
