Features
The Maestro MP-1 offers lush, analog phase shifting with a signature character defined by its two control knobs.

The Balls control adds feedback to the phase effect, increasing resonance and creating more pronounced, vocal-like textures. Capable of subtle movement or deep, swirling modulation, the MP-1 is well-suited for enhancing clean tones, adding motion to chords, and bringing dynamic expression to leads. Built with durable components and straightforward functionality, the MP-1 is a reliable and distinctive phaser that captures the iconic modulation sounds of its era.
