Description

The Intensive Care Audio Recovery Phase is a dual modulation effects pedal designed for guitarists and bass players seeking deep, characterful phase shifting and tremolo within a single, flexible unit. Built in London, England, it combines bi-phase capability with independent phase and tremolo control, making it suitable for everything from subtle movement and vintage-inspired shimmer to complex, rhythmically animated textures. Whether used to add width to clean passages, movement to sustained chords or pulsing drive to riffs, it offers a broad modulation palette without overcomplicating the rig.

Tonally, the Intensive Care Audio Recovery Phase delivers rich, analogue phase textures through its primary LFO-driven phaser, while a second LFO can introduce either additional phase movement or tremolo. With eight selectable waveforms per LFO, including Random Slopes, Random Steps, Sweep, Sine, Triangle, Square, Ramp Down and Ramp Up, it moves from smooth, classic modulation to stepped, unpredictable and rhythmically jagged effects. The ability to run dual phasers together or combine phasing with tremolo creates layered, dimensional sounds that remain clear and musical. Tap tempo control allows modulation speed to lock in with a band or backing track, making it equally comfortable in live and studio settings.

In use, the Intensive Care Audio Recovery Phase feels immediate and intuitive despite its depth. Independent frequency and depth controls for both LFO sections make it easy to dial in anything from gentle motion to dramatic, swirling sweeps. Holding the bypass footswitch for three seconds unlocks a hidden mode where LFO 1 controls LFO 2, opening up more complex, evolving modulation patterns without requiring additional pedals. The response remains smooth across the control range, encouraging experimentation without losing musical focus.

The dual LFO analogue modulation circuit is built using high quality components, ensuring stable performance and low noise operation. The first LFO is dedicated to phase shifting, while the second can be switched between secondary phase duties or tremolo. In Trem mode, a further toggle determines whether LFO 2 controls tremolo alone or tremolo alongside secondary phase shifting. In Phase mode, the same switch allows LFO 2 to be engaged or disengaged entirely, providing straightforward access to single or dual phase sounds.

Housed in a stylish metal wedge enclosure with a textured black powder coat finish, the Intensive Care Audio Recovery Phase is built for regular gigging and studio work. The distinctive two-tone graphics are bold and clear, making settings easy to read on darker stages. A bright LED power indicator provides instant visual confirmation of effect status.

Soft touch momentary footswitches control bypass and tap tempo, working with a relay based true bypass system that preserves signal integrity when the pedal is disengaged. Top mounted jack sockets and DC input help keep pedalboards tidy and space-efficient.

Backed by a manufacturer’s lifetime warranty, the Intensive Care Audio Recovery Phase stands out as a distinctive British-built modulation pedal that combines creative flexibility with practical, stage-ready design. For players looking to expand their modulation options beyond standard phasing or tremolo, it offers depth, reliability and genuinely original character in one compact unit.

Controls

• LFO 1: Selects one of eight waveforms for primary phase modulation
• LFO 2: Selects one of eight waveforms for phase or tremolo control
• FREQ: Sets LFO 1 speed from slow sweep to rapid modulation
• DEPTH: Adjusts intensity of LFO 1 phase movement
• FREQ 2: Sets LFO 2 speed for tremolo or secondary phase
• DEPTH 2: Controls intensity of LFO 2 modulation
• TREM/PHASE: Assigns LFO 2 to secondary phaser or tremolo circuit
• LFO 2/OFF: Engages LFO 2 in Phase mode or selects dual function in Trem mode
• BYPASS (FOOTSWITCH): Effect on/off, hold three seconds for hidden LFO interaction
• TAP TEMPO (FOOTSWITCH): Sets modulation speed in real time

Components and Technical Specification

• Dual LFO analogue modulation design for phase and tremolo effects
• Eight selectable waveforms per LFO for wide modulation variety
• Relay based true bypass for signal integrity
• Soft touch momentary footswitches for silent switching
• Neutrik jack sockets for reliable cable connection
• Top mounted input and output jacks for efficient pedalboard layout
• Built in London, England using high quality components
• 9V DC centre negative power operation only
• No battery compartment for reduced noise and space efficiency
• Powered by standard 9V centre negative supply (not included)
• Battery operation not supported
• Current draw measured with Truetone 1Spot mA Meter:

• Engaged (maximum): Approximately 63 mA

Current draw may vary slightly depending on control settings, circuit behaviour, and active features such as gain stages, modulation, filtering, or reverb tails. For best performance, use a high quality isolated power supply that matches the pedal’s current requirements. Always refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations, as incorrect powering may cause damage.
