The Korg PHASE 8 Acoustic Synthesizer is a unique effects unit designed to transform the natural sound of an acoustic guitar into rich, synth-style textures. Instead of traditional phasing alone, it analyzes your playing dynamics and converts the signal into layered, atmospheric tones while preserving the expressive character of your instrument.
Advanced signal processing that tracks picking dynamics
8-stage phase architecture for deep, evolving modulation
Blend control to mix natural acoustic tone with synth texture
Adjustable rate and depth for subtle movement or dramatic sweeps
Compact, rugged design suitable for stage and studio use
The PHASE 8 responds to your playing attack, allowing you to create shimmering pads, ambient swells, and synth-like layers directly from your acoustic guitar. Gentle picking produces smooth, airy movement, while stronger attack can generate more pronounced, expressive textures. The 8-stage design delivers a fuller, more immersive modulation compared to standard phaser circuits.
