This is a bit of review for a Red Witch Moon Phaser.

This is the first time that i have done a review on a product here, so go easy on me and if i miss anything just ask.
i ordered mine from MusicToyz.com; i bought the deluxe model that includes the LED and stereo option.
This pedal arrived in a box but also wrapped in what seems to be a black denim bag. very nice. i pulled out this gleaming chrome box and let me tell you...i didnt even want to touch it out of fear of leaving fingerprints.
i bought this mainly for guitar use so i plugged up the guitar (Ibanez with dual humbuckers into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe). Bear with me, i'll try to get through the guitar part of this quickly.
so, i plugged it up and turned it on. the first thing i noticed was the bright green LED and then the sound? it sounded fantastic! There are no extreme sounds in this box, but every setting is useable. My only serious issue was the controls: the Trajectory knob is reversed and the 6 position Cosmology selector gives no guidance in the manual. i had read reviews on this pedal before buying so i knew in advance that this was just how this pedal was setup and that i didnt have a faulty one. the selector switch still had me confused so i emailed Ben Fulton, the builder, and he replied with an hour giving me the full monty on what each of the six positions do.
There are several versions of the phaser and some with phaser/tremolo at the same time, one setting is tremolo alone.
so after playing around with it for about an hour, i feel like there are songbirds and rainbows and sunshine in my ears. as soon as i turn it off i am brought back to harsh reality of just a guitar and an amp.
Then i fire up the bass amp. i didnt know what to expext out of this pedal with a bass through it. but i was not let down in the least. This pedal carries the low end with aplomb. it never gets muddy either, which is a very nice thing indeed. though i will say that when i went to Tremolo-only mode, it did lose some of the bottom end..no worries though, i bought this for its combo ability.
like i said previously, i bought the deluxe model becuase it has the LED. if the mono version had the LED i would have bought that instead.
all in all, i could sum this up in one word... "LUSH"
oh..and fully analog...true bypass.
