Lets talk phaser

[80's_Metal]

So today I actually played around with the phaser setting on my little Cube 40xl.... man I really liked it!

I just have it set to the very first lowest setting where it picks up and begins to work, nothing really saturated, just barely there sort of setting

So it got me thinking, Jolly already talked me into buying a Chorus pedal... why not get all out of my comfort zone here and add another pedal?

What kind/brand/model of pedal do I want to sort of emulate that (roland phaser) type sound? IIRC Roland makes Boss pedals right?
Would that be a good place to start then or not necessarily?

I don't think one that has a one button on off and a speed dial will work, I want to be able to vary the amount of wet/dry signal.

Thoughts?

I can't buy anything boutique either, but I'd throw 40 bucks at someone if they had something I would actually use ya know?

If I were a man in the market for a phaser I'd be going with the Keeley Phaser or the Red Witch Moon Phase, without a doubt..... maybe even both! :scratchch

Re: Lets talk phaser

I always liked the MOOG Stage phaser . . . but that is way more than most would like to pay for a phase-sound.

. . . but it sure as hell sounds GOOD !

Re: Lets talk phaser

Maximum Price/performance, I say try the Digitech Hyperphase or a Boss Super Phaser or an Ibanez PH7 (Tonelok)


They all seem to be decent, flexible, and cheap. Maybe not for conneseurs, but you are taking to a guy who digs the Behringer….


Although I'd love that VFE enterprise pedal….

Re: Lets talk phaser

One of my favorite tones is still the EHx Small Stone!

Re: Lets talk phaser

I love the small stone, it's a beautiful phaser. If you have the big box version it's very easy to mod it to work as a passable uni-vibe as well.

Re: Lets talk phaser

There are lots of flavour of phase, and you really have to try 'em to decide which you like best. Personally, I like having all 3 major modulation options available (chorus, phase, flange) and then decide what works for a particular application.

As for brands, I have MXR for phase and flange, Mooer for chorus, and an old Maestro phase.

Got to agree. I am not heavy Phase guy but that is what I have sitting on my board. Easy interface great tone.

Re: Lets talk phaser

For me the best phaser tone is Maxon PT-9 Pro. Very thick sound.

Re: Lets talk phaser

I love my MXR Eddie Van Halen phaser.

I think the MXR Phase 100 is a very underrated and overlooked pedal.

Re: Lets talk phaser

The MXR phase 90 is the standard but its the older ones. The new reissue with the LED is the best value

Re: Lets talk phaser

A univibe or Leslie sim satisfied my phaser wishes.

Why not the Danelectro pedal? I've heard it was pretty good bang for the buck.

Re: Lets talk phaser

I love my MXR Eddie Van Halen phaser.

That is because you are an Eddie fanboy. If someone VH striped a piece of dog crap you would drag it home and have it on a shelve somewhere. Not that the VH 90 is dog crap I love that pedal.

Re: Lets talk phaser

Great info guys, thank you. Appreciate it. I'll get to researching YouTube videos on these options.

Re: Lets talk phaser

For MXR types, the Whirlwind Orange Box is unbeatable for sound and features for price.

I am in dire need of a Maestro phase or clone or something capable of that tone.

Re: Lets talk phaser

Again - READ the OP.

I agree that the EVH Phaser should be the first answer of "What Phase" anymore, just like 535Q should be the obvious Wah.

But OP wants lot's of tones. EVH has Two; Arguably two flavors of the same tone, one intense, one mild.

Re: Lets talk phaser

The title is let's talk phase. Which I am doing. Sorry.

For 40 bucks I would not bother. Cheap phasers sound cheap.
