Warm Audio announced the ODD Box v1 and the Mutation Phasor II on June 28, 2023, adding two vintage-inspired stompboxes to its pedal line¹². The Austin, Texas company said the ODD Box v1 is a hard-clipping overdrive inspired by a pedalboard staple known for cranked-amp tone, and the Mutation Phasor II an accurate recreation of a 1970s phaser¹.

The ODD Box v1 is based on the Fulltone OCD, and the Mutation Phasor II on the Mu-Tron Phasor II². The ODD Box v1 has Volume, Drive and Tone controls plus a UK/US switch that moves between British and American tube amp character¹³. It uses a TLO82CP op-amp and 2N7000 transistors, has true-bypass switching, runs on a 9-volt battery or a 9-18V regulated DC adapter, and measures 4.5 by 2.5 by 1.5 inches³. The ODD stands for Over Drive Disorder¹.

The Mutation Phasor II is an electro-optical phase shifter with Rate, Depth and Feedback controls; the Feedback control sets the wet phase-shifting signal and increases sweep intensity, especially at slower rates¹². Its speed ranges from 1/10 sweep per second to 18 sweeps per second². It uses RC4558P op-amps, vintage-style diodes, carbon resistors and film caps in a steel case¹.

Both were listed for preorder at Andertons and Sweetwater¹. Warm Audio founder Bryce Young said of the ODD:

Guitar.com reported that Fulltone announced in May 2023 it would sell off its final pedals built in California and relocate to Nashville⁴.
