Best phaser effect pedal on the market

[jhsmith33]

Looking to get the best phaser for my Rhodes, Clavinet, guitar, bass. Leaning toward the musitronics bi phase anything else I should be aware of?

[narcoman]

bit pricier - but I love the Moog phaser pedal (i bought all the pedals last year - great things, but at a price!!). One of the nice things is keeping the LFO still and manually moving the phase position - GREAT for controlled sweeps in recording!

....highly recommended from this guitar hero....

Have you checked out the Red Witch Deluxe Moon Phase? I don't own it but I have friends that do & they love it. It can get pretty radical if you need it to. I use the MJM Vibe for those type of tones. I found a vibe pedal fits my music style more then a phaser.

[narcoman]

ooh yes... ALL the Red Witch pedals are great.

Boss Phaser

If I was looking to buy a quality phaser, I would seriously consider the Effectrode.

I would also like to try the Strymon line...

+1 Strymon pedals are awesome! Timeline could be one of the best delay pedals available. I know they make a flanger & chorus/vibe but I don't think they make a phaser... I may be wrong though.

oops you're right, they don't make a phaser... sorry ! But they still look like darn cool pedals!

+1. The Moog Phaser is milky smooth like nothing else. I'll never part with mine.

I'm also interested in the Pigtronix Envelope Phaser and the EHX Stereo Polyphase. Yeah, I'd love an old MuTron Bi-Phase, but I don't see that becoming a spending priority any time soon.

No such thing as the best phaser... There are at least 3 different ways of creating and animating the phase shift and each sounds slightly different. You have to try them and see what you like. The most flexible for individual sounds is probably the Toneczar but the Pigtronix and the Moog, while only offering a single sound at a time have a lot of other options that can be used to integrate them with other systems. But for just phasing, it's hard to be better than a Small Stone or a Phase 90!

Possibly the most over engineered phaser I've ever seen.14 stages of swoosh, with some cool formant sounds in there too!

i like phase 90. i tried the small stone, it's cool and deep but it's not for me.
i'd say go classic! it's always the best course of action.

have you ever thought about a univibe-style pedal?
lots of people think phaser but they really mean vibe.
be sure you of that.
good luck

Moooooog! You could also look after vintage Rolands, on the used market. Jet Phaser and ap-2 sounds really cool.

I have the Red Witch and it's very nice, or Reed Weetch as the builder would say. Here's a demo video:

And there's also the Effectrode phaser. All the Effectrode pedals kill. I had the Vibe Chorus and it was just super rich and syrupy.

Everyone here has named fantastic pedals for phasing.

I too own a Rhodes and am a huge fan of phasers. I have the complete set of Electro Harmonix Small Stones from the American versions from the 70's to the 80's versions of the Russian made ones.

My personal favorite is the American V4. The one right before they switched over to surface mount technology in the nano.

BUT out of all the V4's that I own, the best one would be the American V4 Analogman.

They don't make the V4's but they're easy to find. To find an Analogman American V4 is EVEN harder to find. There are better features on that also.

Regardless of the model, all of the small stones are easy to use, easy to setup, and are very butter creamy. I prefer the small stone with the color switch down.

The other phaser of choice would be the MXR Phase 90. I have both block and script versions both reissues. I prefer the Script version with the LED on it because it's more subtle than the block version of today.

I got info from Classic Rhodes Effects, took their advice and went with it. I made a pretty good call on it and it turns out the way they're voiced, the Rhodes sounds fantastic through it. No matter when the Rhodes was made, either a 70's rhodes or a new 2009-2012 Rhodes, those pedals will sound great.

My favorite is Fender Phaser, and the old Boss PH-1r

I recently aquired a Small Stone V4 and have modded it to take a normal power supply. I like it as an effect but the volume drop and the loss of high end is abit too severe, so I'm currently modding it.

The sweep, however, is beautiful. It just needs a little TLC from Mr. Solder to make it perfect.

sometimes KISSAC(keep it simple stupid)(and cheap) is the right choice. My single knob phase 90 sounds great to ME.
