I was looking for the phaser for some time already and came up with 5 options. Please vote for one of them. What I'm looking for is a funky phaser, that may sound close to "For The Love of Money". I usually use 1-2 settings on a pedal, so I prefer that type of pedals where you turn one knob and got the right sound :)
 
I say, the Akai Intelliphase...

All analog. tracks very well... If you need a sound clip, go to Link Removed

Listen to the song "Mystery" and wait for the bridge... It is saturated, yet transparent. The effect is amazing, but does not take away your tone...
 
I've been using a Psilocybe for a couple years and I find it to be perfectly funky and wet sounding. I do a lot of slapping and I step on the Psilocybe and a Discumbobulator for really, really funky stuff. I haven't tried the others though, so take my comments with a grain of salt. Good luck.
 
I just voted for the Polyphase so I could see the results...cuz I really have no clue which phaser is the funkiest. I have been interested in getting a phaser but have held off because I just don't really know anything about the options out there.
