Safari Pedals has teamed up with Karanyi Sounds to offer the Hawk Phaser plugin completely free for a limited time. Normally priced at $49, you can grab it right now using the code KARANYIHAWKFREE at checkout.
The Hawk Phaser is a vintage-style modulator designed to deliver everything from gentle, shimmering movement to deep, swirling textures. It’s a creative tool that works just as well for subtle track enhancements as it does for dramatic sound design.
Hawk Phaser is built around a classic LFO-driven phaser effect, but the controls give you a surprising amount of flexibility. The Input Drive lets you add warmth and grit before the modulation stage, which I personally find makes guitars and synths come alive.
The Depth and Rate controls handle the movement, ranging from slow, evolving sweeps to fast, pulsating modulation.
Other useful features include a Filter to focus the phaser on specific frequency ranges, a Feedback control for resonant sweeps, and Width for wide stereo imaging. There’s also an Auto Gain function, which helps balance levels as you push the effect harder.
I’ve tested it on guitars, drums, and vocals, and it works surprisingly well across the board. On clean guitars, it adds that classic psychedelic shimmer; on drums, it can add texture and interest to specific parts like tom fills, for example.
I especially liked it on more subtle elements, though. It works great on background synths and backing vocals, where it adds a slight sheen that makes them sit in the mix more musically.
If you’re into modulation effects, Hawk Phaser is one of those plugins that invites you to experiment, which is cool because it’s so easy to use. You can keep it subtle to avoid cluttering a mix or dial it into extreme settings for trippy, resonant soundscapes.
It’s versatile enough to find a place in most genres, whether you’re producing rock, electronic, or cinematic tracks.
The Hawk Phaser is available in VST3, AU, and AAX formats for macOS (10.15 and above) and Windows (8 and above). It requires a minimum of 8GB of RAM and a dual-core CPU, though 16GB is recommended for heavier sessions.
This free deal won’t last forever, so if you want to add a vintage-inspired phaser to your effects collection, head over to Safari Pedals and use the code KARANYIHAWKFREE while it’s still available.
