Phasers

[sillyfabe]

another Earthquaker Devices Grand Orbiter user here: only phaser that has everything I want and nothing I don't (just FAT ANALOG 4-step phasing)

I used a EHX Nano Small Stone for a long time. Loved it.

Then I got into an experimental "phase" with modulations; at one point, I had the EHX Nano Small Stone, MXR script Phase 90, and MXR Phase 100 all side by side, plus a few delay pedals, trying to figure out what I liked best. I ended up putting the whole lot up for sale and buying a flanger.

That said, for a phaser to keep, I would pick either the Stone or script Phase 90. Simple, cheap, durable pedals with classic tones.

I use my SA BEF Pro for most of my phasing. Sometimes, I run it with my BBE Soul Vibe for extra whooosh, and sometimes with my Moog Bass MuRF for extra creepiness. Sometimes, I use just the MuRF as a phaser.

I use a Pigtronix EP-1. It's huge and I don't really use the LFO controlled phaser setting as much as I use it for an envelope filter but I really like it.

Another Canadian with an EP-1 here.

As a boost it plays incredibly well with fuzz and if you have it modded with an expressionable phase control, you can use it as a kickass phase wah.

If I had to replace it I'd consider another EP-1 but FWIW, with the AC power requirement and its relative polite tone as compared to its successor (EP-2) it's not a big enough difference to go to Analogman and get an original. I would probably miss the character control but the EP-2 comes stock with the sweep expression input.

I think it's amongst the coolest looking pedals ever.

I use the Homebrew Psilocybe and the Pigtronix EP-2. I love me some phaser.

Akai Intelliphase that I recently bought from a fellow TBer. I should have never sold my first one.

 

[Basehead]

I'm using both the Source Audio BEF Pro (IMHO, such a great phaser sound!) and the Eventide Modfactor (from subtle and blendable to crazy expression-controlled stun). Also, I have them at different points in my chain so I can play off the interaction with my other effects.

Ibanez PT9 here. I love phaser way more than flange, and the old PT9 is perfect for me: cheap, solid, tone is great, and i'm kinda addicted to old 80s japanese boss/ibanez/maxon pedals ...

Small Stone with the big case

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

I love phaser- probably my favorite effect sound.

I almost never use it.

Just doesn't seem to fit in with what I'm doing most of the time. I've owned a couple Small Stones in the past, but just use my Axe-FX for phaser sounds (based on Small Stone and Phase 90) now as they sound very close to analog and I don't use it enough to justify buying another one.

FAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEeeeeeeeee. SINGGGGGGGGgggggggggggg.

HNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG.

Same here. I'm keeping my Intelliphase forever, even if I don't use it.

I use the MXR Phase 90 script. I feel it is better on bass than the Phase 45 which is a little too subtle.

 

[BawanaRik]

I like the Moog MoogerFooger phaser. Lots of knobs and lots of sounds. Covers the bass ranges fine.

 

[Basso54]

I had a Build Your Own Clone Phase 90 Script clone. It was the best phaser I've ever had for the bass. It went belly up about 3 years ago, BYOC no longer offers the kit. I've got a phase 90 right now, but I'm thinking of picking up a Small Stone.

 

[AgressivePassiv]

Wounded Paw P90. I demoed a bunch of phasers and the only two I liked better were EP2 and the Grand Orbiter. I'll eventually upgrade to a Grand Orbiter, the EP2 is sweet but my board is too crowded for another big pedal.

I have EHX Nano Small Stone. I red almost every reviw about existing phasers about 4 years ago. At that time, EHX Nano Small Stone was the best option for sure. True bypass, no tone altering when off. Better than EHX Small Stone. I own it till today but changed band so I can't use it that much. Very good option if you are into phasers.

 

[JimmyM]

Ya, I've owned Small Stones all my life just about, and the Nano is better than any of them. Same sound but with much better bypass. Still the only phaser I like besides the old Maestros.

 

[G3Mitch]

i do like the sound of a phaser on bass, especially with abit of fuzz goin. but its uses are pretty limited, i have a mxr phase 90, and aside from its annoying volume boost, its a pretty good phase. not currently on my board, but is good for abit of fun at home.

i really like the use of bass phaser on the new Russian Circles album, sounds awesome on the sustained notes in "Atackla"
Russian Circles - Atackla (Empros - new album 2011) - YouTube

listen to the whole song, obviously, but at 3:28 the phaser comes in. \m/

I use the EHX nano small stone, and am happy with it.
