Analog Stone recreates a 1979 four-stage phaser on iOS using Quantovox’s RealPhase analog modeling engine, including an optional V1-style circuit to tame harshness at high modulation rates. Available on the App Store for $5.99.
Analog Stone is an AUv3 plugin for iOS that models a 1979 revision of a four-stage analog phaser.
It uses the same analog modeling engine as Quantovox’s RealPhase but intentionally offers a simpler, pedal-like control set.
An add-on circuit modeled after the original V1 hardware is included to reduce harshness and non-musical artifacts at high modulation rates.
# What Analog Stone is
# Sound and design goals Quantovox built Analog Stone to deliver the characteristic sweeping, psychedelic coloration of the original hardware with a minimal control set. Where Quantovox's RealPhase takes a rackmount approach with 50+ parameters, Analog Stone focuses on doing one thing well: reproducing the raw immediacy and tonal character of the vintage pedal.
The plugin is powered by the same analog modeling engine used in RealPhase. That means the developer applied their existing modeling approach but pared back the interface and parameter count to match the simpler user experience of a stompbox.
# V1 hardware add-on circuit Analog Stone includes an optional add-on circuit that references the earlier V1 hardware version of the phaser (the original release five years before the 1979 revision). This add-on reduces the harshness and non-musical artifacts that can appear when modulation rates are pushed high. The inclusion of the circuit aims to preserve usable sonic behavior across faster modulation settings while keeping the pedal's overall character.
# Who this is for This plugin suits musicians and producers who want a compact, authentic-sounding four-stage phaser on iOS without diving into deep parameter editing. It targets users who prefer pedal-style simplicity and those who liked the RealPhase sound but found its extensive parameter set excessive for certain tasks.
# Platform and price Analog Stone is available now as an AUv3 on the App Store and is priced at $5.99.
# Quick feature summary
# Practical notes for users
# Where to get it Analog Stone is listed on the App Store. The developer's website (Quantovox) is noted as the reference for more information and potentially additional product details.
