How does a phaser kill?

Phasers have an entire spectrum of settings. They fire a fictional particle called a nadion. At its lowest setting it disrupts a life form’s nervous system, either knocking it unconscious or cause it to become dazed. At its highest, it is enough to vaporize the targeted object.

Do they ever set phasers to kill?

In the new star trek movie (sorry for the bad example) Spock and Kirk set their phasers to kill while onboard the Romulan ship because if they were to let the Romulans live they run the risk of letting the entire federation get destroyed.

What is the difference between a phaser and a disruptor?

To recap, a disruptor is a hand held anti matter generator weapon, while a phaser is similiar, but more refined. Both of them cause the target structure to be disintegrated at the SUB atomic level. Electromagnetic weapons such as lasers and plasma work on the electromagnetic force level.

Are phasers possible?

It is important to note that while phasers aren’t theoretically impossible, they may not become what we imagine them to be today. Phasers, if they are anything like lasers, are nothing more than propagated beams of light, which travels from point A to point B in one direction (a straight line).

Why are they called photon torpedoes?

Since the torpedo was originally conceived of as being primarily an area of effect weapon, they called it a photon torpedo because rather than doing damage via direct application of the antimatter you were doing it through that cascade of photons.

Should I get flanger or phaser?

A flanger repeats the audio back onto itself, creating a chorus-like effect. A phaser uses all-pass filters to achieve a delay-like effect. They sound similar, and both are useful—but only in moderation.

What’s the difference between a phaser and flanger pedal?

Phasers generate a set of peaks/notches using all-pass filters, whereas flangers create a set of peaks/notches by duplicating the incoming audio signal and modulating the delay time. Flangers also typically apply a greater number of peaks/notches to the frequency spectrum of a sound than phasers do.

Where does a phaser pedal go?

As with most modulation effects, Phaser traditionally sits towards the back end of your pedal chain, after everything except ambient effects like reverb and delay.

Do I need a phaser pedal?

You don’t NEED a phaser unless you wanna sound dated or you have a Klingon problem. Same goes for flangers. They’re definitely a “once in a while” effect.

What comes first phaser or chorus?

Traditionally you want your phaser first, then flanger and chorus in whatever order after that. But there’s nothing wrong with putting your chorus first and phaser last. That’s how neat sounds get created.

Should Phaser go in effects loop?

Gain based effects such as and overdrive/distortion pedals come next. Modulation effects such as chorus, flangers, phasers typically come next in the chain. Time based effects such as delays and reverbs work best at the end of the signal chain.

Should tremolo go in effects loop?

Placing a tremolo pedal in an effects loop is also closer to the signal path of an amp with built-in tremolo, but my personal preference is to plug a tremolo pedal into an amp’s front end and save the effects loop for other effects.

What songs use a phaser?

Here are some well-known songs that use a phaser pedal:

Eruption – Van Halen.
Little Wing – Jimi Hendrix.
Paranoid Android – Radiohead.
Soma – Smashing Pumpkins.
Shattered – The Rolling Stones.

What’s the difference between flanger and chorus?

The flanger and the chorus are both modulation effects that use delay in a similar way. A main difference between the two is that a flanger uses shorter delay times than a chorus. Another difference is that unlike a flanger, a chorus does not have regeneration (delay feedback).
