What's your favorite analog phaser?

[Grapevine921]

I've been bit by the phaser bug and would like to stay analog. What's your favorite at the moment? Thanks!

Toss up between an MXR Phase 90 and a Hotone Phaze.

I was shopping for a phase shifter awhile ago. I tried a number of them in all price ranges. I ended up getting both the Hotone and the MXR.

I've tried a ton of phasers, and my current favorite is the Subdecay Quasar DLX v1. It just sounds perfect and has an absurd amount of control for an analog phaser, and switchable between 4, 6, and 8 stages. I love it soooo and pretty much the only pedal I can foresee myself liking more is the Moog 12-Stage Phaser - I'll get one eventually, probably, but I'd have to get a bigger board to fit it on there anyways.

The mighty and mighty rare MuTron Bi-Phase. Been GASing for one for 45+ years finally scored one off ebay last year. Currently available, I'd say the Moog MoogerFooger MF-103.

The impossible to find Maestro phaser, or the classic block logo Phase 90. Tried a few boutique phasers but always came back to the simple orange one-knobber!

Another great old blast from the past!

Script logo!

Honestly, I couldn’t tell the difference between a vintage Block, and a new Script, but think they’re both right for bass. The addition of the LED in the modern versions is a great add.

The HBE Psilocybe Phaser. It works for guitar and bass. A bit dark for my taste but it's cool.

Script Logo Phase 90 for its simplicity and its sound. My second favorite is the Akai Intelliphase in normal mode. Never had a need for the touch (envelope) modes in it. I also have Prophesy Sound Bi Phase clone. I'm probably going to part with it since it is to hifi sounding to me. I'm basically after the Rob Grange tone anyway when it comes to phasing, it is the tone I like on fretted and fretless.

Digital - EBS DPhaser. Analog - Subdecay Quasar Deluxe v.1 (not v.2!).

General Guitar Gadgets "P-45" MXR Phase 45 clone/kit.

The MXR Phase 90 always sounded to "70's porno" to me- too swirly and incoherent.

The 45 is a lot more subtle in ways that I like- just enough to give the notes a little "movement" without blurring, IMHO.

Plus, I love DIY and kits, so this was a no brainer!

 

[HolmeBass]

MXR Script Phase 90. I think it is an older one of those.

I also forgot the specialty phaser I own. It is a Roland AP7 Jet Phaser. I only use it for special effect on certain songs. It does do a good clean phase, but the jet mode is a whole different level all together. I still have to make a bipolar 9 volt power supply for it. I can't recommend it for best analog phase shifter since it is quite pricey these days.

I've got a pre-Dunlop Phase 90 that is about the most perfect phaser for bass I've ever used. Only drawback is the lack of an LED.

Or true bypass, IIRC...

Still a great sounding pedal!

MXR Phase 90 does it for me.
