Please recommend me a PHASER pedal please. Vintage or modern.

Thank you



p.s. before someone shouts at me: I did a forum search and I couldn't find a similar topic.

EHX Small Stone

Nano or big box. Sounds great regardless.

i don't really like phasers, but i prefer the small stone over the phase 90. It seams to have more sounds in it.

I like the phaser on my EHX Worm -- also has tremolo, vibrato and auto-wah. You can also freeze the phaser for some cool tones.

EHX Small Stone is the only logical choice. Everything from subtle to crazy in 1 switch and a knob.

IF YOU WOULD'VE USED THE GOD DAMNED SEARCH FUNCTION YOU WOULD'VE FOUND RESULTS LIKE 'PHASERS ARE FUCKING WHACK,' ETC.

You should really explain what kind of music is inspiring you to get one, there's a fairly big difference between the Van Halen Phase 90 tones vs the Incubus Boss PH-2 tones and so forth.

I love the Russian Small Stone but you get a noticable vloume drop when you kick it in.
Don't look at me I'm irrelevant!

Re: above video

Is he getting orgasmic in that video? ... maybe that's why he's wearing all white..

Given he has a white shirt, white trousers, white bass, and white belt, couldn't he obtain a WHITE guitar strap?


Back to phasers-

What puts me off the Small Stone and the MXRs is that they don't have a depth control. Hmm.

Great phaser, or greatest phaser?


Anyway, I'm gonna rep for the Red Witch Moon Phaser, confessing my only experience with phasers has been the Boss standard, crappy modelers and this great kiwi pedal which sounded pretty damn sweet.
