Black Sun
Seattle-inspired analog rotophaser capturing classic rotating speaker sounds—100mA/9V, true bypass, handmade in Spain.
Thermion operates from Albacete, Spain since 2012, founded as technical service for vacuum tube amplifiers before expanding into handmade effects pedals emphasizing analog circuitry with modern versatility and portability. The Black Sun delivers analog rotophaser sounds inspired by Seattle grunge and alternative rock artists who defined guitar tone using rotating speaker effects. Captures rotophaser character from classic recordings where swirling phase-shifted textures created psychedelic movement and spatial enhancement impossible with standard modulation pedals.
Rotophaser effect simulates rotating speaker cabinet behavior combining phase-shifting with amplitude modulation creating characteristic swoosh and spatial movement. Unlike standard phasers limited to static sweep patterns, rotophaser recreates three-dimensional rotation sensation where sound appears to move around listener. Controls provide adjustment of rotation speed, depth, and tonal character addressing scenarios where different songs require subtle shimmer through intense swirling textures. True bypass switching maintains signal integrity when disengaged.
Requires standard 9V center-negative 2.1mm DC power at 100mA draw with protection for polarity inversion, AC connection, and momentary overvoltage. Handmade construction with anodized metal printing for durability. The Black Sun targets players seeking Seattle-inspired rotophaser tones, suitable for grunge, alternative rock, and psychedelic music where rotating speaker simulation creates spatial movement and phase-shifted textures defining the sonic character beyond standard phaser or chorus effects.
