Members notjonahbutnoah Posted January 5, 2012 Members Share Posted January 5, 2012 Welp, my Malekko Phase is on the fritz. It's got an awful buzz when on. I know it's the pedal and not the cables or anything. I bought it used and it's a couple years old so I doubt it's under warranty, and even if it was I am so broke right now, it's ridiculous, don't even wanna mess with shipping it/potentually paying a repeair fee. Eventually, because it's a nice pedal, but right now it's not in the cards. I've got a boost in the spam thread but everyone and their mother has a boost and they seem less in than they were so it'll probably sit for awhile. What I do have is 33 ebay bucks leftover from buying my So Cal, and there are a couple phasers on ebay that can be had for that, namely the Behringer. What I worry for with cheap modulation is volume drops, but this has a level knob (and I know it's volume and not effect depth because there is a depth knob too). So, I wonder if it might be worth it to give it a shot. I've also got a buffer that soulsonicfx made me, AND the buffer in the 616 (which I keep off, but it's there if I need it), so I should be covered if it's a tone sucker right? What would you do in my shoes? TL;DR I need a phaser because my Malekko is buzzy and my only spendable money right now is 33 ebay bucks... what would you do? Think the Behringer might be worth a shot? http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=phaser+pedal Looks like a lot of phaser for the cheaps... curious.

I heard they have bad volume drops... am I wrong? I'd like to be, because I could potentially use an old ns 2 I have as a guitar center coupon on get one cheap.

Members TheCardiacKid Posted January 5, 2012 Members Share Posted January 5, 2012 I would work it out with Malekko. You can survive for a show or two without a phaser...pretty sure the venue won't banish you from ever playing again just because you are sans phaser. Just ride your wahwah or chorus instead. Don't throw away money on a p.o.s. pedal due to impatience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh, see I know you're right, but I love phaser! I have no chorus or wah. Got an E Filter that'll hafta do the trick for a bit. Meh, still though, for 30 bucks that I can't spend anywhere but the bay that will be gone if I don't buy something in 3 weeks... I wonder how those things are. Also, why can't a het'rosexual guy tell a het'rosexual guy that he thinks his booty is fly? Not all the time, obviously. Only when he's havin problems with his self esteem.

Members notjonahbutnoah Posted January 5, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2012 just cut the slow parts out of your songs. Sound advice. Heh, actually I use it for fast leads or counter melody parts in teh punx rawk. Very unnecessary, but very fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members macadood Posted January 5, 2012 Members Share Posted January 5, 2012 could get a dano pepperoni phaser on ebay for like 10-15 bucks probably but the behringer is probably better and more useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
