The PhazeVibe Lite is a compact modulation pedal from F-Pedals' Eddie Kramer Series. Rather than being strictly a phaser or a vibe pedal, it is what Premier Guitar calls "a multi-modulation machine that generates fairly classic sounding phaser and vibe sounds as well as a few unique hybrid modulation tones"1. For a player, that means one small pedal covering territory usually split between a phaser and a Uni-Vibe style effect, with a third group of sounds that sits between the two.
What it does to your sound
The pedal's three Mod modes are its core. Premier Guitar's reviewer found that "Mod 1 crosses a Uni-Vibe type sound and a phaser," which is the pedal's signature move: instead of choosing between the swirling, throb-heavy character of a vibe and the notched sweep of a phaser, Mod 1 blends the two ideas into one effect1. The other modes extend the palette with further phaser and vibe sounds and hybrid tones1.
The reviewer's overall verdict on the sounds was positive: "Pros: Interesting and unique modulation sounds."1
Controls and build
The pedal is genuinely small. Premier Guitar describes "F-Pedals' petite Phaze Vibe Lite" as "this little pedal," and notes that the underside of the enclosure is plastic1. Mode selection is handled by a modulation function switch that steps through Mod 1, Mod 2 and Mod 31.
"The plastic underside of the enclosure and modulation function switch both feel chintzy."
That is the main build criticism in the review. The sounds earned praise; the enclosure materials and the mode switch did not, so the trade-off here is compact size and price against a lighter-feeling chassis1.
Premier Guitar's reviewer found that "The Mod 1 mode, for example, is oddly quiet," which is worth knowing if you plan to run Mod 1 into a driven amp or a busy pedalboard1.
What reviewers said
Premier Guitar's quick-hit review (September 2026) tested the pedal across a range of Fender gear, including a Fender Jaguar, a silverface Fender Bassman with a 2x12 cabinet, a Fender Champion 600, and a Fender J Mascis Jazzmaster into a Fender Champ1. The reviewer's summary points were the interesting and unique modulation sounds on the plus side, and the chintzy feel of the plastic underside and mode switch on the minus side1.
