Any suggestions of a great phaser, i am a big fan for bass solos in my band i have 2 already a chord phaser and the phaser effect of the boss me 50b board but would like something better
yeah, these would probaly also be strong contenders in the battle for great phasers: Blackout Effectors Whetstone Subdecay Quasar deluxe Moog MF103 I haven't tried any of them though.
I just went on a Phaser binge myself. Picked up a Red Witch Moon Phase and the Malekko Omincron Phaser and currently have a Pigtronix EP2. One will win, the other two will end up back in the classifieds.
I liked the Pigtronix EP2 better as an envelope filter. I didn't like the voicing of the Subdecay Quasar Deluxe. For cheap, I really liked the Boss PH-3, Step Phasing was cool, selecting the stages, phase up, phase down. Really a solid pedal and I am not the biggest fan of Boss.
Ya the step phasing was my fav thing on the PH3, to bad it got lost in the band mix =/ I had the EP2, Small Stone, PH3, and EP1. I regret selling the EP1 but it had a dedicated wall wart and I like all my effects to be powered off of one power source.
This'll sound ridiculous, but I've been really digging the phaser in the Amplitube Irig Fender pack. I split my signal from my bass into a Fishman AFX Chorus pedal, which gives me two outputs. From there, one cable goes to my amp, the other into Irig and my iPhone 4S, which give me a really cool Ampeg sim. By mixing the Irig with the DI from my amp, I get a nice tone and can apply effects to one signal, leaving the other uneffected. The Fender phaser is one of the better sounding ones I've heard. The AFX pedal has a cool phaser, too.
I'm quite happy with the simple EHX Small Stone... But I must admit I have a bit of GAS for the Subdecay Quasar DLX
Few phaser threads get by w/o me saying *Try an old DOD* I have an FX-20C that I LOVE- it can do *subtle fattening/always on* OR *I think I'm gonna be sick* swirly. Also common & fairly cheap- I think I gave $40 for mine, likely got it from a TBer. So... Try an old DOD.
another +1 for the EQD Grand Orbiter: FAT analog 4-stage phaser with a killswitch for the dry signal = vibrato. been eyeballing the Quasar DLX though....but the Grand Orbiter makes more sense to me right now
I recently picked up a Boss PH-1R from Ebay. its an older model, infact the second model boss ever released. it sounds very very good, and pretty natural. i really love the sound.
Same here! Edit: the Fender Phaser in Amplitube sound really cool, and with the Ampeg emulation ---- Tempus Fugit tone by Squire
These phasers are my favorites: Pigtronix EP-2 EHX Stereo Polyphase EHX Small Stone MXR Phase 90 script, and all of its many clones Finally, my favorite: Moog MF-103 I understand that the 4ms Phaseur Fleur, Lovetone Doppelganger and Mu-Tron Bi-Phase are fine products, but they are as rare as rare gets, so I can't tell you how they play.
