Members goodhonk Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 what song(s) inspired you to buy, or want, a phaser. What are some good tunes utilizing the phaser? i just picked up a phaser and was looking for some inspiration. i enjoy playing with it, but can't find a need for it in a live setting.

Members Small Stone Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 I kinda have the same feeling too. The best use, I think, is in "Paranoid Android", that little descending line in the begining. I have more use for flanger though. I use it as a kind of filter for melody lines, sounds good and kind of synthy/metallic. Very Cure-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members the Dust Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 I wanted the Phase 90 to make some Univibe sounds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I was The Funk Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 Phaser is one of the effects i use most. Not sure how I got into the phaser but I remember encountering a small stone when I was about 14 and thinking, man, thats cool. I had a phaser on an RP5 in high school that was part of some crazy patches. I picked up a vintage small stone and a vintage ross (which i can no longer find...) somewhere in college. I almost always use it for chords and clean. Not for single note lines pretty much ever. Sometimes I combine it with a chorus to be more organ like. I sometimes also use it in conjunction with my wah and a delay for echoey filter sweeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 Lots of Incubus stuff. Lightning Crashes by Live Use it with a trem and some dirt and play about coaxing tuneful feedback from it. Also run it after delay and listen to your repeats sweeping through the filter cycle. Phaser is the best modulation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Edge_the_great Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 mike einziger of incubus uses the phaser alot, tom morello has one too. i have a phase 90, and a boss ph-3 and i love them! im not into the whole "true bypass" and all that. depends on what you want to use it for.

Members almightycrunch Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 I prefer a touch of subtle phaser to chorus for any clean tone, seems to have much more character to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do enjoy the sound of a phase with dirt and delay. I got mine in this order though. rat-phaser-delay. i'll have to switch the delay and phaser to see what happens.

Members paul999b Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 I use it when we play "Crawling in the Dark" by Hoobastank.Not exactly a brain buster of a song, but the phaser sounds pretty sweet. I actully just got rid of my chorus and just use my phase 90 on a real light tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Small Stone Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 That's surprising, what with your screen name and all. I know! I love my Nano Stone, love the sound of it, but can't find a way to use it in a band context. Weird, huh? It's easy to get corny 70's porn music sound with the phaser, you know. Not that there's anything wrong with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TechBrother Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 Jerry Garcia got some lovely phase sounds from his script phase 90. Crazy Fingers is the best example I can think of. I would say that dub & reggae influenced me to use a phaser the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cruciatus Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 supposedly that's a uni-vibe on lightning crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fat_o_bastard Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 I use a small stone, mostly for clean arpeggiated stuff like Floyd's "Us and Them." Or anytime I want a dreamy sound. If I'm going to use one it must be very subtle or else it just irritates me. Although one cool sound is running a Big Muff into it with the color switch set for a big wide sweep, and you get a sound similiar to the solo on the Pumpkin's "Mayonnaise."

Members Rock_and_roll Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 somehow, when I bought my Ph-1r, I had no idea what a phaser sounded like . I saw that a bunch of guitarists I like used one, so I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
