Thanks for purchasing Lost Highway Phaser — a
powerful, flexible analog phaser. Foot-switchable
Fast and Slow speeds—each with their own
independent Rate and Depth controls—let you
easily alternate between slow, moody phase
shifting all the way to rapid and warped
modulation. The Wave toggle switch selects
between Sine and Triangle waveforms while
switchable 4- and 8-stage phasing makes it easy
to add extra resonance on the fly. The Sensitivity
control allows modulation rate changes based on
your playing dynamics—dig in and the intensity
of the phasing increases.
LOST HIGHWAY PHASER
DESIGNED IN CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.

Rate 1
While the Slow speed is selected, the Rate 1 control adjusts the speed
of the modulation.
Rate 1 LED
This LED is illuminated when the Slow Speed is engaged. Rate 1 and
Rate 2 are active when this LED is on.
Depth 1
While the Slow speed is selected, the Depth 1 control adjusts the
intensity of the phaser.
Center LED (LED between Depth 1 and Rate 2)
This LED blinks in time with the rate of the Lost Highway.
Rate 2
While the Fast speed is selected, the Rate 1 control adjusts the speed
of the modulation.
Rate 2 LED
This LED is illuminated when the Fast Speed is engaged. Rate 1 and
Rate 2 are active when this LED is on.
Depth 2
While the Fast speed is selected, the Depth 1 control adjusts the
intensity of the phaser.
Blend
The Blend control adjusts the Wet/Dry mix of your instrument’s signal
and the Lost Highway’s modulated signal. When the control is set to
50%, classic phasing is achieved. When the control is set to 100%, the
pedal will produce harmonic vibrato. At 0%, the pedal has no
modulation effect.
Feedback
The Feedback control adjusts the amount of resonance of the Phased
signal. Turn the knob clockwise to add more resonance.
Wave Type Switch
This switch allows you to toggle between sine and triangle shaped
modulation.
Phase Stage Switch
This switch allows you toggle between 4 and 8 stage phasing.

Sensitivity
When the Slow mode is engaged, the Sensitivity control adjusts the
threshold for the Lost Highway’s dynamically controlled rate. As the
Sensitivity is turned clockwise, the Lost Highway can automatically
switch from Slow to Fast settings with the changes in your instrument’s
volume—softer playing will keep the Lost Highway set to your Slow
settings; louder playing will send the Lost Highway ramping up to your
Fast settings. Turn the Sensitivity control fully counter-clockwise to
disable this feature.
Sensitivity LED
This LED will illuminate when your instrument’s signal passes the
threshold set with the Sensitivity control to ramp the Lost Highway’s
phaser speed from the Slow settings to the Fast settings.
Bypass Footswitch
This footswitch is used to bypass the effect.
Slow/Fast Footswitch
This footswitch is used to toggle between the Slow and Fast phasing
speeds. The Slow controls are Rate 1 and Depth 1; the Fast controls are
Rate 2 and Depth 2.
Jewel Indicator
The Jewel Indicator shows when the phaser effect is active.
Input Jack
This is a high-impedance input suitable for electric guitar, bass, acoustic
guitars with pickup systems, keyboards and other instruments.
Output Jack
This is a low-impedance output jack that connects to the amp or to the
next effect pedal in a mono signal chain.
DC Power Connector
This is a standard center-negative 9VDC jack for use with appropriate
power supplies.
LED Kill Switch
This switch extinguishes the LEDs that illuminate the knobs.
Boost Switch
This switch allows you to add 3dB of volume to the Lost Highway’s
output.
