Members theManfromAlabam Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 I'm not well so cut me a little slack, I could just be having a major senior moment. Anyway I am bored and just dusted off the remainder of what was my effects board...one of the remaining effect pedals is an old DOD FX20 III phasor (two knob) however for the life of me I can't remember what tunes I used it for? I know a phasor is a modulation effect, but what classic rock songs use a phasor? Who uses one and why? Sorry it's been awhile since I've used modulation.

Members LedZep1985 Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 Led Zep-Wanton SongLed Zep-Achilles Last Stand I use my MXR Phase 90 to usually color my clean tones on certain songs. I also use it for my Theremin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thenakedarab Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 First ones that come to mind?Breathe - Pink FloydNo Quarter - Led ZeppelinShattered - The Rolling Stones The riff for Have a Cigar is pure analog phased goodness. It's the one tone that makes it worth buying a Phase 90. I can't stand what the damn pedal does to my tone, and it's really not the best sounding phaser, but that one sound it does better than any other phaser I've tried.

Members almightycrunch Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 Its a great substitute for chorus when used very lightly, I prefer it to chorus myself for clean passages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members penguin_rock Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 Pink Floyd - Breathe? I'm pretty sure. I'm more of a high-gain player. A phaser set really fast and deep can be KILLER if used in the right situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members machine gunner Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 Pink Floyd - Breathe? I'm pretty sure. That's Univibe. Rock N' Roll Animal, Lou Reed- some of the best phased sounds ever captured on tape courtesy of Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrmega Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 "Love Hurts" by Nazereth Eddie Van Halen used one on several songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gambit Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 i have a couple of DOD phasor's, the 201 and two knob FX20 (cream coloured) and a 201 clone, the Tonefactor Nebula. they're the best phasers i've found on my decently lenghty search. for the money the FX20 goes for i wouldn't ever sell it. they just swirl theright amount. the FX20 excels at the slow rate stuff for me. it goes about as slow as a USA small stone, whereas the 201 is better at faster 'vibe' rates. i only really use phaser effects clean, usually with delay and reverb. i can get lost in the swirl sometimes. the effect is similar to smoking a lot of weed and then gettting really engrossed in the sound. phaser beats any other modulation for me.

Members Destructobot Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 There's a couple Kyuss songs that start with some lower-gain guitar part with modulation. It always sounds really good, I think it's a phaser set to a vibrato kinda mode but I'm not sure since I don't have a lot of experience with modulation.

Members Collapse Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 I don't really listen to classic rock.Two songs that come to mind immediately are:Smashing Pumpkins -- Love (actually that might be a flanger, but whatever)The Cardigans -- My Favorite Game And you can use some of them to cop filter sweeps reasonably well.

Members Kittie Rose Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 Various Smashing Pumpkin songs. Some Joy Division and Bauhaus songs(or at least Flanger sounds that sound like a Phaser). Anyway, why does a "Classic Song" have to use it? My Moon Phaser doesnt' much sound like a classic Phaser. That's one of the reasons I got it. I like itb ecome it's a moon phaser. It gives me dreamy textures and sounds beautiful after a FUZZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MB-1 Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 It was one of my favorites...now im digging chorus or vibe & delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theManfromAlabam Posted November 3, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 Thank you for the replies people. gambit I wouldn't get anything worthwhile for this pedal (I love the cream color) and the pedal looks very cool....probably why I never bothered selling it off. Anyway with the replies I received to this thread it's all come back to me now...maybe I should try smoking a little weed to try and bring more of my lost guitar playing memories? Thanks again folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kittie Rose Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 Original Poster - check out these clips: http://www.redwitchanalogpedals.com/audio.html Might change your view on Phasing. You can actually use it as a nice more organic alternative to chorus. Keep in mind it sounds MUCH more sparkly with distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gusvolta Posted November 3, 2007 Members Share Posted November 3, 2007 I use my MXR Phase 90 to usually color my clean tones on certain songs. yeah me tooand for some solos!! i love it how it sounds right before my distortion, it's not a very dramatic effect when placed there, but it gives it a nice effect =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
