What’s new with the Quasar 5?
Sharing a familiar footprint with the Quasar 4, the Quasar 5’s analog phaser is refined for headroom and lower noise.
We started where it counts – refining the analog core delivering more headroom and quieter performance. Right out of the box, it operates as a curated plug-and-play pedal featuring 11 distinct phaser modes—from fluid rotary effects to envelope phase sweeps and stepped sample-and-hold shapes. Traditional sounds are in there as well.
Connect to the Web MIDI editor to unlock full customization. Reassign what each knob controls, sync to MIDI clock for locked-in phase/tremolo timing, or rewrite the 11-position Mode dial entirely with your own custom configurations or instant recall presets.
Keep it classic, or build a choppy saw-wave tremolo tied to a slow-rising phaser in minutes. You can even reassign which parameters the knobs control for each mode.

Cross modulation modulates two things at the same time.
1 & 2 -Triangle + Sine & Triangle + Square:
The phaser is modulated by a slow triangle LFO and a faster Sine or Square wave LFO.
3 – X-Fade:
The phaser is modulated by a triangle LFO while the mix modulates between clean and full phaser.
4 – Tremolo:
Combines a synchronized tremolo and slower phaser sweep. The ratio between LFOs is controlled by the offset knob.
Rhythmic patterns. These work especially well with the Quasar 5’s MIDI clock sync option.
5 – Step Pattern:
A stepping pattern based on a triangle waveform. Offset alters the pattern.
6 – RND:
Random Phaser sequencer with choppy pulse tremolo. Offset controls the pulse tremolo per step. (0 – 50%)
Modulation is manipulated by touch dynamics.
7 – Envelope speed control:
A phaser effect where the modulation speed is altered by playing dynamics. Offset slows down or speeds up modulation when you hit the guitar strings.
8 – Envelope Phaser:
It’s like an envelope filter, but with a phaser.
9 – Rotary / Vibrato:
Inspired by the long discontinued DOD FX22 Vibrothang.
10 – Slow Triangle LFO:
Long linear phaser sweep perfect for slow speeds.
11 – Fast Sine LFO:
A faster phaser using a sine wave LFO.
There are 17 parameters controllable via MIDI, but that number might be deceptive because the possibilities are endless.
There’s normal stuff, like volume, phaser depth, LFO rate, feedback. There are also 48 phaser LFOs and 62 tremolo LFOs. Reassign knobs to control whatever you’d like and even change the LED color for each mode.
Additionally, when saving a mode select behave as preset and the mode will load your exact settings every time it’s recalled.
