How do you use your phaser in a band setting?

Stranglehold.


/thread.


or not... i used a Phase 90 because it has a smaller phase range, helping to keep the low and high end present, and only just phasing a decent section of the midrange. however, some might prefer other phasers with larger phase ranges. play as many as you can, and buy the one you like the most. get familiar with it's sound and what it does to your tone, and when you're playing a song that you just think needs the phaser, use it!

Phase 90 was a little too subtle for my likes, but a great starter for phasers! :]

You might be getting it confused with the mutron. Correct me if i'm wrong though

Almost exactly at 1:00 I'm almost positive that's his phaser.

Hmm, it does sound like a phaser... it's mighty slow.

I use mine whenever I feel the need for The Swirly.

That usually happens when chords ring, or when I need some movement to a low groove line. A rare, but essential effect for me.

I have a song on my band's myspace, with phased bass the entire time. It's just a psychedelic piece. I feel it works very well. It's an EHX Small Stone, color switch up, at about 12:00

Thin Lizzy is one "classic rock" example, they often had phaser on the bass; Muse and many of the other modern alterna-metallish-rock bands use phaser among many other effects.

I like it as a subtle "flavor" just for a slightly different voice than usual. Goes with anything, and I mean anything- jazz, metal, heck even blues.

Is he using phaser or flanger in Dancing in the Moonlight?

I had a nano small stone that worked well.... but wanted a little less and a little more. Replaced it with a Maxon PT-9 Pro+ (more) and a phase 45 clone (less... when it ever gets here)

I agree with whoever said they like a phaser over a chorus or flanger. For me, if I could have but one modulation effect, phaser it would be.

I use my phaser on stun when others play or sing out of tune.

how do i use my phaser in a band..

i step on the bypass switch. i think phaser is a LOT more musical on bass than guitar..its pretty badass. cheak out the larry graham clips on youtube where he shows his pedals, he does an arrangement of the "phantom of the opera" song with overdrive and a mutron phaser. it sounds really wild.

what particular phasers were you looking at?? i STRONGLY reccomend the red witch moon phaser. will put any MXR to shame. even vintage ones.

I actually think phasers on guitars sound superb. Maybe even better than bass. You just need to know how to use it on guitar more because they are REALLY pronounced on guitar.

Larry is actually using his Jet Phase for that tone.

Often... but never in a "band setting" .. most of the time it'll be in an 'alien' setting... Standard protocol for landing parties you know..

I use a MXR Phase 45, which is inaudible when used by it's self with my rig, but when used with a FUZZ or OD you get this cool synth sound without the "normal" phaser sound in less you set it real slow or really fast, it works well to fill up space with spacyness, works well on PF like and other psychedelic applications.

can someone link the vid of larry graham showing his pedals on youtube?!!

I use my Psilocybe for slapping and fingerstyle funk a lot. Sometimes I kick on the Discumbobulator with it and the two of them together sound absolutely gooey.
