Members woodsmandan Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 My second Dano Tuna Melt tremolo just died, I wont go trough a third one, need somthing sturdier now...and I also need a good phaser. I need both, and since these are somewhat releted effects (and I really want to keep my pedal count as low as possible) I tought I should be able to find both in one enclosure...and analog is the keyword here, dont want no Line 6 modeler... I was looking at the EH Worm, and it looked good on paper, but the reviews are mixed...what about the Wiggler ? And I dont want no chorus...I know there's a few pedals that mix chorus and tremolo and/or phaser...dont want chorus. What would you guys recommend ?

Members mike.sartori Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 I can't remember a pedal that blends tremolo and phase; that would kind of be limiting as far as pedal arrangment though, people usually like phase before OR after dirt, phase before OR after delay, tremolo before OR after delay, etc. You probably should get two pedals.

I like 'em both between dirt and delay...but you may be right, with so few options for both in one, I probably should go for 2 pedals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 The Worm works great for me, but if you are hoping to be able to tweak the effects and get versatility, you will be disappointed. For the most versatility, get a Flanger Hoax.

Members paydirt Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 Red witch moon phaser :poke: That's the correct answer. In fact that is tha main reason I traded mine. I had both phaser and trem covered with other pedals and just felt that the phase was too trem like on the Deluxe Moon Phaser. Not a bad thing, I just had those sounds covered with other pedals.

Well, thinking of it, all I need one good vintagey phaser and one good tube amp-like tremolo...as you own one, what do you think are the pros and cons of the Worm ?

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 Well, thinking of it, all I need one good vintagey phaser and one good tube amp-like tremolo...as you own one, what do you think are the pros and cons of the Worm ? Cons: Produces noticeable hiss, slightly boosts the volume when engaged, the wah mode clips in some settings if you don't use a compressor before it, the 4 modes are not very tweakable (just rate and depth), and the tremelo is fine (I use it) but it isn't nearly as flexible as a Pulsar, Wiggler, or Flanger Hoax. Pros: The phaser is warm and fat (3 stages), the wah is one of the best cyclical auto-wahs I've heard, the vibrato is a true pitch-vibrato and sounds great, it's very easy to dial in your settings in a live situation, the manual mode might be the most useful feature of all - cocked wah, boosted mids, for the price it is a steal.

Members jove Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 the red witch trem looks great on paper ... but it really doesn't sounds all that great. Completely disagree on that. The RWMP is the best phaser I've had in a long while.The only one I like more is my old Mutron Phaser II, but that's too heavy and big for my pedalboard.I have a Boss PH-1r for dirty, chewy phase sounds, a TC Electronic for hi-fi phase tones, and there's a bunch more that I sold off,but for clean and hypnotic phase tones that stand up to dirt pedals and gives a pretty good trem sound to boot, the Red Witch is the one that lives on my board.

Members freeridstylee Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 but the worm is bigger then 2 pedals, so it almost defeats the purpose of getting one pedal that does both. I'd just get a pulsar and small stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ert Posted December 13, 2007 Members Share Posted December 13, 2007 get the BYOC trem and phaser and put them in an enclosure together. That would be pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RitalinCupcake Posted December 14, 2007 Members Share Posted December 14, 2007 the red witch trem looks great on paper ... but it really doesn't sounds all that great. I agree if you're just talking about the trem setting. It doesn't really sound bad but it can't get very choppy or deep. It's ok sometimes but not really what I want from a trem. I think it's a fantastic sounding phaser and the tremophase is cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted December 14, 2007 Members Share Posted December 14, 2007 the red witch trem looks great on paper ... but it really doesn't sounds all that great. Are you referring to the pentavocal or the moon phaser? The pentavocal is a great trem but the moon phaser trem is lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members woodsmandan Posted December 14, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2007 Well, after spending the night researching and listening to clips, I think what I want is an EH Wiggler...I know it's not really a phaser, but that's the sound I'm going for. After all, phasers were invented to try to emulate rotating speakers, like vibrato was... Now I have to find one to try it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, phasers were invented to try to emulate rotating speakers, like vibrato was...Now I have to find one to try it out... The Wiggler is awesome - and the LOOZ mode is a phaser of sorts, but the wave shape is choppier than a traditional cyclical phase, so you won't get that smooth sweep at slower rate settings. There are 5 presets on the Wiggler, and they are only tweakable by intensity and rate - no shaping. However, the tubes really make a huge difference, creating a very warm, vintage, slightly fuzzy tone. It's a very unique sounding effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
