The Athena by SolidGoldFX is an analog two-stage asymmetrically tuned phaser with unique Univibe-esque qualities, hence the descriptor Vibra-Phase. It is recognized for its strong, yet merciful characteristics, and is designed to be highly musical and dynamic, perfectly voiced to hold court with the rest of your effects and your instrument’s natural tone.
Key Features:
- Speed, depth, and level controls are standard, allowing for a wide range of
modulation effects.
- Mode switch enables users to change between different levels of blending to
let a little or a lot of wet signal through.
- Color switch provides three levels of throb, pushing the Uni-Vibe character
into overdrive for inspiring textures.
- The pedal also features an EXP jack for connecting an expression pedal with
a TRS cable to get hands-free control over the LFO speed.
Technical Specifications:
- Knobs: Speed, Depth, Level
- Toggle Switches: Mode (offering 50-50 full-range vibro-phase tone, 80-20
wet-dry setting for vibrato sounds, and manual mode) and Color (offering
balanced stock setting, thick and chewy Uni-Vibe-like setting, and a subtle
setting suitable for Bass applications)
- AUXILIARY: EXP Jack for connecting an expression pedal for real-time
control over the LFO speed and phase in manual mode.
The Athena Vibra-Phase is available in an Electro Purple finish and was introduced in 2019. It is made in Canada and falls under the categories of Chorus and Vibrato, as well as Phaser Pedals.
