Best phaser for bass

[johnk_10]

I use a script logo phase 90 ( I've always really liked the sound of them), but I also just built a more versatile one today. it's called the 'causality4 MKII, designed by Rick Holt. it's an awesome sounding phaser and extremely adjustable with no low end loss. adding a blend to it is simple but I found it unnecessary.

here's a couple of pics of it:



gut shot:

+1 to the MXR. Small and simple. Set and forget.

+1 for the Pigtronix Ep-1 especially if you can find one with the MARV mod..."combines the LFO and EF modes for far out multi source modulation" (quote from Pigtronix and has a toggle switch on the back). I got mine for 60 dollars on ebay

I am not regretting the Psilocybe! Just got it yesterday and I'm grinning from ear to ear playing with this thing! I don't hear any low end loss except when one of the toggles is in a certain position. Now, I am in no way an authority on phasers, but I'm done looking for one.

The EP-2 has the same feature built-in.

All Ive ever used are old block logo MXR phase 90's. Ive got a few and my favorites are the ones with the script back and 6 op amp board.

I buy all my pedals through Prymaxe. They always have a sale going on. Right now it's 15% off.

Phase 90 for me, but I'm interested in the Phase 100 for the different wave settings you can choose from.

[PawleeP]

Is there any way to add a blend to a small stone or pre-dunlop phase 90? and where could I find a pre dunlop phase 90?

[Basshappi]

I like the MXR Phase 90 and Phase 100 but don't have one.
I have an old Small Stone and like it with the "Color" switch on.
On my board right now is my Quasar which I like very much.

I like the Maxon PT999 Phasetone the smoothest 4 stage phaser that I have owned. http://www.maxonfx.com/Reissue_PT999.php
I've owned DOD, Boss, Smallstone(s) many MXRs and the Maxon blends great with all my other pedals/basses. Great for slap funk style.

I was never a fan of the color switch when I was playing with my Stingray. Now that I'm back on a J-bass it's fantastically creamy.

Does anyone know if a Bass Balls By EH is a 90 or 100 degree phaser? pp

Bassballs is not phaser at all!

[Crazyeelboy]

[PawleeP]

[TussinBot.]

its an envelope filter.
