BOSSPH-3 Phase Shifter Guitar Effects Pedal
dynamicfunk
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Analog phase shifter in a standard BOSS compact enclosure. For players who want swirl and movement on tap, from subtle to seasick.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Funk rhythm parts where movement matters more than gain
- Clean arpeggios that need motion without chorus warble
- Players building a first pedalboard around one modulation effect
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting chorus or flange — phasing is a narrower sweep
- Anyone needing a tuner or dirt first; this is a flavor pedal
- Boards with no room for a fourth or fifth enclosure
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
5.08 x 2.32 x 2.87 inch compact enclosure
Standard BOSS footprint. Fits any pedalboard laid out for compacts, and mounting plates are made for this size.
Detail 03
0.93 lb
Light enough that velcro alone holds it, but the metal shell survives being stepped on nightly.
Detail 04
Touch and dynamic response
Sweep depth tracks how hard you play, so picking dynamics stay audible instead of being flattened by the effect.
Detail 05
Top-mounted footswitch on a hinged pedal
Whole face is the switch. Easy to hit mid-song without looking down for a small button.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No power supply included — budget for a 9V adapter or battery
- 02Modulation usually sits after drive and before delay in a chain
- 03A battery works, but adapter jacks are standard on gigging boards
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it come with a power adapter?
No. You supply a 9V supply or run it on a 9V battery. Most players use a pedalboard power brick instead of batteries.
02Where does a phaser go in my signal chain?
Typically after overdrive and distortion, before delay and reverb. Placing it before dirt gives a thinner, more pronounced sweep if you prefer that.
03What's the difference between a phaser and a flanger?
A phaser sweeps a set of notches for a soft swirl. A flanger uses a short delay and sounds sharper and more metallic.
04Can I use it with a bass?
Yes. Phasing works on bass, though you'll want to check that the low end stays present at deeper settings.
