Favorite Phaser?

Bam. Nailed it.

The EQD Grand orbiter is great on bass too!

 

[Bassist4Eris]

Not a "cool kid" pedal, but I still say the Boss PH-3 kills on bass in the "10 stage" mode.

My current favorite phaser is the EHX bad stone reissue.

 

[Spidey2112]

I like these...

I recently picked up an old MXR Phase 100 for cheap and I quite like it.

That's the phaser I was going to recommend to the OP.
It's a good one and a bit underrated on bass.

Try out the MXR Phase 95 mini - allows some extra tweaking with 45 sounds but still retains the possibility to go back to the classic 90 sound anytime.

When I was shopping for a phaser awhile back I tried everything I could get my hands on.

I wound up with both a Phase 90 and a Hotone Phaze. IMO those two sounded the best with bass.

The Hotone is all analog; and has a rate, depth, and resonance control, plus something called a "shine" switch, which adds a hint of shimmer and additional highs. It has much of that smooth MXR Phase 90 character. But with more parameters to play around with. And being so tiny, it's cute looking as anything.

It runs about $90 street for a new one. Which makes it inexpensive enough to consider getting two, or using it with the phaser you already have. That would let you do some complex dual phasing setups without the expense of an all-in-one dual phaser.

I haven't seen any on the used market, so I have no idea what a used one would go for.

Moog Moogerfooger Phaser

The answer is the MuTron Phasor II

Yes, you are correct.

 

[brianrost]

Mu Tron Phaser II, but not under $150 these days. I owned two years ago, paid $25 apiece for them.

I currently have a EH small stone on my bass pedal board and a Retrosonic Phaser on my guitar pedal board. When I get time, I am going to switch them to see if I am missing out on something huge. Until then I still have to decide between 4 envelope filters, 3 distortion pedals, and 2 chorus pedals........and a partridge in a pear tree, I believe. I'm swamped!

 

[ihixulu]

I third the MXR Phase 100.

 

[Basshappi]

"decide between"...........what does that mean?

Could probably find a clone for 150$ or so though. Of course who knows how it would compare as some of those old pedals have really rare parts.

I have a bit of a phaser addiction:

Phase 90
Phase 45
Ross Phaser
Small Stone gen 1
Small stone gen 2
Maestro PS-1A
Subdecay Quasar
Jet Phaser Clone from make sounds loudly
Phase 90 clone


Phasers vary and have a wide range of sonic signatures so it's really hard to recommend one specific sound but if its versatility you want I would go with the Subdecay Quasar.

+1 for the SA lunar phaser.
I don't have much experience with phasers, but researched for a while. For the price and all the options with the lunar, it was a no brainer for me. If you really wanted, you can have 6 presets with phaser, flanger, vibe, resonator, chorus and other preset options that you can tailor to your needs.

 

[mikewalker]

As pedals go, it's STUPID HUGE, but my Tonelab SE has a wickedly nice phaser in it...
