Is this the regular phaser or the dynamic one?I use the phaser on the Keeley Bubbletron. I've wanted to try others but this one just sounds so thick. Never needed extra eq and sounds great live.
My issue is really whether it keeps the level consistent. Right now, mine has a slight drop (perhaps perceived) and it's hard to make up on the fly without screwing everything else up.
Still trying to nail down a good phaser to use with my Source Audio Spectrum. There are a few in the user created section, but not a true phase 45, which is my preference.
I've found the Whirlwind Orange Box, which is a Phase 90 circuit, to be basically perfect for a simple phaser. If you just want some swirl and don't need a ton of adjustment, I would imagine an Orange Box or Phase 90/95 would get there for you.
The 90 is so standard that when you sell it you buy another.

I've never needed and EQ after the MXR Phase 90 which is my favorite type.
Phaser and Delay, and maybe Tremolo are the only modulation/time-based effects that work well with bass in a band situation IMHO/IME of course.

I think this could be why MXR only did these two limited edition I Love Dust (UK) graphic pedals. Good for guitar and Bass
