I'd like to buy a cheap phaser pedal with "envelope filter flavour" suitable for both guitar and bass guitar but I don't want to spend a fortune so my budget is limited. I discarded the MXR Phase 90, the Electro Harmonix Small Stone and the Harley Benton/Joyo Vintage Phaser, too limited controls and "too phaserizing", if you know what I mean (sorry for my bad english). My choice fell on these pedals:
1) Hardwire Stereo Phaser SP-7, very nice, good phaser sound with (IMHO) the right touch of envelope filter:

2) NUX Phaser Core, it is good too but cheapier than the Hardwire:

3) T-Rex Tonebug Phaser, it has less controls and no "envelope flavour" at all (IMHO), good phaser sound even if a little bit invasive:

4) Akai Pro Phase Shifter, really nice phaser, good sound with only the "Rate" knob and the "A/B" switches but no control on the "mix" with the dry signal (so it's as invasive as the Tonebug Phaser) and no "envelope flavour":

5) Visual Sound Garage Tone Oil Can, what I consider a standard phaser:

6) Mooer Ninety Orange, tiny and cheap, Phase 90/Small Stone copy, it's really limited but personally sounds better than the Oil Can:

The Electro Harmonix Polyphase is what I need but its price is exceeding. What would you choose among these phaser pedals? Can you suggest me other alternatives? Consider also the price: all the pedals in the list have a cost under 100€
Best phaser/envelope for me

Makes sense to just hold out, save a bit more money and get the thing you want.Golden_Sonic wrote:
