it's one of those beauties, I think... takes away a bit of the high's I find... Just like the Boss CE-1  that looks so similar.

Price:

Features:
Sound Quality:
Very nice phase (Phase 90 territory, pretty not wild). Cool volume sensitive mode, also can slow down or speed up (like a leslie) with the touch of a button.
Reliability/Durability:
Built well, but 20 years old.
Ease of Use:
Pretty straight forward. 2 buttons, 3 knobs, no manual, who cares!
Customer Support:
I've only called once, got a machine, no luck so far.
Overall Rating:
A very cool and unusual effect, with a bit more flexibility than the Phase 90/ Small Stone stuff, not as wierd as modern 3 knob or 4 knob phasers can get.

Sound Quality:
This is a phase, with a dual speed function (so you can go from slow to fast and back, ala Leslie cab), and with a volume sensitive setting, where the speed of the phase changes depending on how loud you play. It's a very musical phase, like a Phase 90, with no provision for feedback. It would be pretty useless for hard rock, but for blues, and lighter rock it sounds really rich, and a pretty convincing Leslie thing.
Reliability/Durability:
Same box as a Boss CE1-heavy, cast metal, I suspect you could pound nails with this thing. It's 20 years old and works perfectly, definitley hardier than most EH pedals.
Ease of Use:
3 knobs, 3 switches. You get good tones right from the start, and it's all pretty self explanatory.
Customer Support:
Do they remember that they made this? Do they care? No idea what would happen if I tried to get support. I've heard wait times can be pretty bad at Roland.
Overall Rating:
A great vintage effect. If you ever see one, that'll make two of us :-). Buy it!
