Sweepy phaser that preserves low-end?

Tried the classics before looking at boutique options? i.e. the EHX Nano Small Stone and MXR Phase 90 (I prefer the standard block version).

The EHX is darker/chewier, the MXR brighter/snappier, but neither lose low end to my ears. Both have the advantage of being able to find and sell easily on the used market too.

 

I have the phase 90 and its one of my favorite pedals ever made

 

Agreed, tried both and they didn't really make much difference when they were on. They just got lost in the mix. Ended up getting a TC Vortex Flanger which does more of that jet sweep sound which is what I wanted. If you want more of a phaser, get the TC Helix. With the Toneprints, you can dial in anything you can imagine.

 

Maybe an old Mu-Tron Phasor II?

 

Maybe somebody has a clone in a smaller package?

Looks like John Kallas has one a little smaller than the OG

 

. Hmmm. That does present a challenge.

 

Source Audio Lunar Phaser.

 

I have and like the Lunar. It can be dialed in for a huge array of sounds.

 

Pigtronix Envelope Phaser does EXACTLY that. BUT it's 18V.

 

It is super programmable, and can do all sorts of sounds. Link a video that featured a takeoff sound, as I'm not 100% sure what you mean by that.

 

I have a byoc phase 100 clone that if set to be is anything but subtle. I'd maybe look for a phase 100 or 99. Less common than a phase 90 but still gotta be easier to find than boutique.

I think the key is independent depth and rate controls.

 

The TC Helix should be super tweakable with the Toneprints too, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a majorly extreme preset for it: Helix Phaser | TC Electronic

 

Have you tried the full size (not nano) small stone? I feel there is a lot lack on the nano stuff

 

I really want this pedal ..... or the MKII of it ... but it's really expensive
