Old Mutron Phase Shifter

[Funky-Wunky]

I dug an old Mutron phase shifter out of the junk in the basement. This thing is probably 25 years old. I got it a long time ago, it works fine, but I never used it much. Did anyone ever use this effect?

You kidding? It's highly desirable, and worth $$$.

I think it's what Andrew Love Levy uses live along with a DS-1.

Nobody really wants that old piece of junk but I'd be willing to cover postage if you want I can take it off your hands

i actually was in the market for one. almost spent i think $400. theyre quite nice. i ended up getting a Red Witch moon phaser, wich in my oppinion is the rolls royce of phase shifters.

I don't see a WTB post in this thread so far.

I used to have one, many years ago. Sounded nice but I'm not a "phaser/flanger on bass" kinda guy.

I just played one of these over the weekend...anything but junk...sounded great on every bass we tried.

are you guys talking about the Phasor? or the Phasor II?

anyone ever A/B them with the old Maestro Phaser?

[Higgie]

I have an old Mutron Phasor (not II) that doesn't work. I been wondering about getting it fixed, but it's difficult because of the voltage difference over here.

I've owned all 3 over the years, at the same time for some of those years. My order of preference:
1) Maestro PS-1A
2) Phasor I
3) Phasor II

There's something really organic about the Maestro and to some extent the I, which the II lost IMO. Might have been the unit I had though. Out of all those, I still have the Maestro and use it all the time, the ramp up/down in speed between the settings is very cool.
