While plugged into the The Solution, Nexi pedals get their audio and power conveyed via its own DSub-9 connector mounted underneath.

The Nexi Phaser is a throwback to simpler times; it has just a single control for the speed of the effect as it sweeps through the peaks and dips. In true analog fashion (as I used to do using two analog tape recorders), the guitar signal is delayed through several stages and then recombined (mixed) with the original signal to produce the sweeping, inside-out effect.

Cranked up fast, the Nexi Phaser creates the swirling, rotary speaker effect perfect for a funky rhythm guitar part. Slowed way down, we got beautifully subtle and pretty pad-like chording sounds for a ballad.

We found it very easy to find the sweet spot--there are so many! As with all the Nexi stomp pedals, the super large stomp button makes each of them easy to find and trigger on/off on the Nexi Solution Pedal board. Awesome.
