I'll get in, since it's a new group and I'm a believer.
I have the BEF and MWBD.
I can't think of any pedal manufacturer that offers so many different
sounds for the money.
I wish they were smaller, but I guess they're working on it, so kudos to SA.

I've got an MWBD non pro running int a tri mod phaser. Some interesting sounds there! Can almost get a jet phaser type sound that's pretty cool!
I've had both for quite a while now, but haven't really found any useful sounds in the phaser (useful in a band situation that is, it's good for strange sounds) Care to share some settings? :)

By the way, would it be possible to mod the phaser to take in a 0-5v CV (or other voltage) - either via the Hot Hand input or something else? I think i remember someone doing this with the original BEF.
 
One great use for a phase sound from the BEF Pro I found was using a multiband foldback on the MWBD into the BEF set to #22 (I think) with a slow tap tempo LFO. I'm not sure, but I'd bet that phase sound is on the Tri-Mod Phaser. I've also been digging using the phaser on the BEF after some light fuzz on the MWBD into my Groove Regulator for a little spacy filter funk. And if you use the LFO and an expression pedal all the way to the toe in that combination, it adds some wowowowow to the autowah.

We have developed an expression pedal which has 3 outputs: 2 normal expression outputs and 1 Hot Hand sensor output. This will allow control of the Phaser without doing the mod. Shipping next month.

Yes, the BEF mod will also work on the Phaser. Send a PM to itswac (Will Cady) is you want the document which shows how to do this.
 
With BEFPro, would there be any noticeable difference plugging your expression pedal into the Hot Hand input as opposed to the standard expression pedal input?

Yes, there would be a difference. If it was plugged into the Hot Hand input, it would perform the limited functions of the Hot Hand. In the Expression Pedal input, it has 13 different assignments that it can take on.

Cool. As I'm in the middle of a complete pedalboard reconstruction (and trying to make sure everything will fit), can I ask what the dimmensions of the new expression pedal are?
