Morley Deluxe Phaser

I've had this old man for almost a year now, so I figured I might as well go ahead and finally do a demo for you guys.

Some nuts-and-bolts details: 6-stage, optical, 3 controls: speed depth and regen, made in the early 80's, 12V 1/8" adapter or 2 9V batteries, weighs a ton.

Tone notes: Like most 6-stage phasers, it has a really resonant, "notchy" sound. Its sweep is slightly uneven, so that it has a slightly drunk, univibe-y feel to it. Like most phasers, sounds best after dirt/fuzz. For a phaser, I really dig it, although I think I just need to accept that I really just want a univibe.
