There is a Homebrew Electronics Psilocybe phaser for sale in the classifieds right now for $130.00. If I didn't already have one, I would jump on it myself. IMO, it's the best sounding phaser I have ever heard.

When I hear "versatile" in the same sentence as phaser, I think of the EHX Stereo Polyphase. You can do a standard LFO phaser in either a standard triangle wave or a square wave, you can sweep it manually with an expression pedal, you can do an envelope phaser. You can choose the start and stop freqs, which means you can keep the sweep out of your lows if you want, and it also means you can have the envelope sweep up OR down.

I got mine off ebay for 120 bucks. Tough to beat

That's what I meant, the one with the switch.

I'm in love with mine. I make excuses just to use it more.

In addition, this thread...

Boss PH-3

...is full of PH-3 lovers.

Count me in that camp as well, although I don't have much experience with other non-PH-3 phasers, so I'm coming at it from a versatility standpoint. If I tire of one setting, I change it up and get happy again.

Got me a PH-3! I love it so far, and find it fairly versitile and unique with the rise/fall/step modes.

Great sound too. I find if I put the depth (basically a mix knob) up to high I get an increase in volume from it.

Only cost me 115$ and I would highly recommend it, and can see myself continuing to in the future

EDIT: My review here: So.... I got me a PH-3 (review)

To reverse the trend of this thread: I highly don't recommend the DOD 490.

It's very cute, and it works well on bass, but versatile it is not.

Whaa..? You need a "phaser?" You need proper clearance and training to handle one of those things... but they are rather handy in a tight spot!!

Personally, I love my Maxon PH350 Rotary Phaser. It is very versatile, and if you watch Ebay, you can probably score a used one around the $150 mark.

Yeah, me too....And I love mine's special paint (blue, black and white swirl). Makes it sound thrice as good as the green ones.

I'll put another vote in for MXR. Though I've got a Phase 90, I just like simple. Thought the 100 is also cool.
