well, i'm not a fan of phasers, but a friend of mine (who plays in a stoner/psych band) got a red witch moon phaser and i went to their practice this afternoon and it's defo not your average phaser, it sounds pretty unique, it has trem sounds too, like ufo hovering type sounds too lol it thought it was cool, not all phasers suck it just sounded brilliant in that type genre
just wanted to say

These are fairly pricey boutique Phasers as i remember. Got great reviews. I love a good phaser personally, the wave is much less harsh than Flange. The beauty in the phaser is with the subtleties, most people go for a tripped out full on swirl and say "huh... this is shit". In fact there should be courses or tutorials, i might do some myself on youtube...

If I get a phaser, it's definitely gonna be this one. And like some have said, I'm not really a fan of phasers too much either, but this one is so nice.

one time he was using it during some pyschedelic improv breakdown and i loved the texture it was creating, like ..i don't know how to describe it..like a .. swamp ? it was perfect, just clean guitar, bass player was using a wah (i'm not a fan of wahs) but using it in a way that suited the part perfectly, adding to the swamp feel haha and then going back to the song (heavy) he twisted the knob with his shoe to a trem like setting so it almost stuttered into the next part, it was great to hear a type of effect i normally don't like being used in such a way that it just.. works.

Phaser usage in stoner/doom bands is usually really well done. I have been jamming Ufomammut hard as FUCK lately and they are great with phasers. They use them very sparingly, and it's always really cool sounding when they do.

I like that phaser too, this store by me had some and they were pretty cool. Also the Subdecay quasar phaser is pretty nice.

looks very cool that phaser, the phase 90 whilst simple and classic just doesnt have enough control for my liking

Phaser with a high resonance setting is not for me.

i thought gilmour had quite a low resonance sound, quite smooth. though it's hard to tell what is unvibe and what is phaser sometimes.
