Delicious Audio published an updated article on the Asheville Music Tools Analoger APH-12 on September 25, 2026, credited to Paolo De Gregorio1. The piece describes the pedal as the North Carolina company's take on "Jimi Hendrix's favorite modulation effect" and as a fully analog phaser offering up to 12 stages of phase shifting, selectable via a 12-position rotary knob1.
According to Asheville Music Tools, the APH-12 is a 100% analog 12-stage phase shifter built around an all-pass filter network with a selectable number of stages from 1 to 12, with odd stages out of phase and three calibrated mix settings2. The maker says the filters are based on an OTA style filter IC from designer Dave Rossum, and that the pedal uses over 400 components2. It lists the pedal at $397.002.
Delicious Audio writes that the pedal was designed by the person behind the Moog Moogerfooger pedal series, and that its main peculiarity is the low-count (1-2-3) or odd-number (5-7-9-11) stage settings1. The article notes three LFO types on the left toggle and three mix modes on the right1. Asheville Music Tools describes the pedal's range as including classic or extreme phase shifting, faux Leslie warble, vibrato and tremolo, envelope-followed filter sounds and multi-peak EQ2.
"The Analoger™ Series APH-12 is a 100% analog 12-stage phase shifter with deep functionality in a compact footprint."
