Members Goominim Posted August 22, 2007 Members Share Posted August 22, 2007 I'm thinking about getting that one. How does it sound? I love budget pedals. I used to be a boutique/vintage snob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members machine gunner Posted August 22, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 22, 2007 I'm thinking about getting that one. How does it sound? I love budget pedals. I used to be a boutique/vintage snob. I have a few other phasers- nothing boutique. Sound samples are still up on MF and it seems pretty decent. Lots of good cheapie pedals around these days- I have a Behringer VP1 which nails the Small Stone sound for few $$. Quite a few great sounding Arions out there (flange, chorus, Tubulator) and most of the Dano minis are winners as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members seifukusha Posted August 22, 2007 Members Share Posted August 22, 2007 its very vocal, esp at the higher settings, you may like it. i did (but i just dont use phasers, so i sold it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members machine gunner Posted September 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2007 Update: just got this thing today and really impressed!! Sounds a lot like a Small Stone on the regular setting, but w/ more tweakability and no volume drop at all. A/B'd it w/ my Behringer VP1 and it sounds slightly better w/ more clarity, but of course doesn't have the color switch. Not bad for $2.30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted September 1, 2007 Members Share Posted September 1, 2007 the second pedal i ever owned about 13 years ago was the MIJ arion phaser, and i recently bought a brand new one (not MIJ, but every bit as good). i {censored}ing love this thing. there is no volume drop, and like Sei says, it's very vocal. it's got a nice long and deep sweep to it too, and it doesn't appear to suck any tone too bad. shame it's not built better, but there are plastic pedals with a much lower build quality than arions.

I'm finding it to be very vocal as well I cleaned it up and it looks much better, but I've gotta find a couple more knobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ck3 Posted September 2, 2007 Members Share Posted September 2, 2007 I also recall the sweep being very vocal/unique ... but mine crapped out on me after only a couple of months. It randomly transformed from a phaser to a parametric boost and sporadically continued to phase when it felt like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
