The Belcat PHS-605 is an analog phaser pedal made by Belcat, designed for guitarists. A phaser sweeps a series of peaks and notches through your signal, giving the swirling, jet-like shift familiar from classic rock and funk rhythm parts. The PHS-605 is a compact pedal version of that effect, described by RockBoard's PedalPedia as robust yet lightweight, with a deliberately small control set: two knobs, Rate and Depth, that cover the speed and intensity of the sweep1.
What it does
The PHS-605 takes a guitar signal and moves its phase response up and down over time, which is what produces the phaser's characteristic sweeping tone. Belcat's listing describes the control layout as simple and intuitive, consisting of two knobs: Rate and Depth. These knobs allow for easy adjustment of the phasing effect, and RockBoard's PedalPedia says they produce a wide range of tones1.
In practice, that means Rate sets how fast the sweep moves, from slow, broad swells to quicker, more animated movement, while Depth sets how far the effect reaches into your sound, from a subtle thickening to a full, pronounced phase shift. With only two controls, there is little to dial in wrong, which makes it a straightforward first phaser or a set-and-forget pedal on a larger board1.
Power and practical details
The pedal runs on a 9V DC, center negative supply, the standard arrangement for most pedalboard power supplies, and draws 8.2mA1. That is a light current draw, so it sits comfortably alongside other low-draw pedals on a shared supply without stressing a daisy chain or an isolated output.
The enclosure is described by RockBoard's PedalPedia as robust yet lightweight, a combination aimed at players who want a pedal that survives the road without adding much weight to a board1.
Where it sits among phasers
Many phasers add extra controls such as resonance, feedback or mode switches that reshape the sweep. The PHS-605 keeps to the two-knob formula, which puts it in the simple, traditional end of the phaser pedal range. If you want more shaping options, pedals with additional controls will offer more; if you want the effect at its most direct, two knobs cover it1.

Questions
Is the Belcat PHS-605 analog or digital?
The PHS-605 is an analog phaser. Belcat's product listing gives its circuit type as analog, and it runs on a standard 9V DC, center negative supply drawing 8.2mA, which is a light enough draw to share a daisy chain with other low-current pedals on most boards.
What controls does the Belcat PHS-605 have?
It has two knobs: Rate and Depth. Rate sets the speed of the phasing sweep, and Depth sets how pronounced the effect is. Belcat describes the layout as simple and intuitive, and says the two knobs allow for a wide range of tones.
