Electro-Harmonix Nano Small Stone vs. HomeBrew Psilocybe

Ryan Mohr · #1 02-28-2009, 07:01 PM

I gave my modified MXR Phase 90 back to my older brother so I'm in the hunt for another phaser. As for the tone, I want deep, dark, fat, gooey, thick. Thanks

when i think big fat warm thick i think

ehx small stone or bad stone

the psilocybe was cool, but i like the stones better. the subdecay quasar and ehx stereo polyphase are nice too.

Ok thanks, do you have any experience with the Nano?

I've had the Nano Stone and Phase 90 and currently have the Stereo Polyphase. The Polyphase has the best tone, but more important is the increased control. For an effect as wide ranging and intense as a phaser, I could never understand why so many "great" phasers are one-knob pedals.

That's why I like the Psilocybe so much. There are a lot of variations to be found with it's two knobs and Shift 1 and 2 switches.
