ELECTRO HARMONIX Nano Small Stone

ELECTRO-HARMONIX Nano Small Stone Analog Phase Shifter

The Electro-Harmonix Nano Small Stone is an iconic analog phase shifter pedal, condensed into a space-saving "Nano" sized enclosure. It produces a thick, swirling, and spatial sound that is perfect for everything from slow, dreamy "Floyd" style atmospherics to fast, rotating speaker ("Leslie")-like vibrato.

The pedal's controls are ingeniously simple. A single Rate knob adjusts the speed of the swirl, while the Color switch completely alters the character of the effect. When the switch is down, it produces a full, yet smooth and transparent phase shift. When the switch is up, it engages a feedback circuit, adding sharpness, depth, and a resonant "swoosh" effect reminiscent of a jet plane's flight.

Key Features

• Analog Circuit: Ensures a warm, natural, and "liquid" modulation tone.
• Color Switch:
  • Down: Full, solid, and transparent phase shift.
  • Up: Emphasized, resonant, and deep phase shift (more feedback).
• Rate Knob: Smoothly adjusts the modulation speed (from slow to very fast).
• True Bypass: When the effect is off, the signal passes through unchanged.
• Compact Design: Durable die-cast metal enclosure, ideal for small pedalboards.
