I am using this pedal as part of my dual pedal board setup. On one board I have a barber tone press, jersey girl middranger, ernie ball volume pedal, fulltone fat boost, 2 fulldrive 2 pedals, barber direct drive ss, fulltone distortion pro, fulltone 69 fuzz, fulltone mini deja vibe, zvex super duper, and finally an ayan smooth and slim. This board is run into the amp (Marshall voodoo modified tsl100 or polytone minibrute 2, or fender blues deville, blues delux. The other board is run is the effects loop of whatever amp I am using. FoxxRoxx TZF flanger, 4MS(formerly 3MS) Phaseur Fleur, fulltone choralflange, fulltone supatrem, maxon ad80, ibanez ad99, Maxon ad999, maxon ad900, zvex superduper, barber launch pad.
I use both les paul and strat style guitars. This pedal sounds great both in this setup and direct into the front end of a clean amp. Dann extended the range of the Blend knob so I can go from no effect at all to 100% out of phase vibrato and anything in between (normal phase is when the knob is set to 50%) I can get that van halen style phase as well as just about any other style possible. Most importantly, I can get a uniqe phase sound unlike any other depending on she settings of the unit. Dann also added a couple of output volume knobs, so I can match output levels as needed. If I turn them up all of the way, they can be noisy. The noise is a result of the noise already in the system being boosted. When run at reasonable levels this unit is not noisy at all. All electronic devices introduce some noise, but this unit is much less noisy than other Phasers on the market. This pedal does what it is designed to do and does it well.
