Members PFDarkside Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 Can anyone compare the Quasar and Psilocybe to some other phasers? I have: Small Stone (RI)Phase 90 (Vintage Block)Red Witch DeluxeInfinitphase MK2Modmax How do these compare to the Quasar and Psilocybe? I'm not dissatisfied with my sounds right now, I think it's more of a 'grass is greener' situation. I hear great things about the other two, maybe comparing them to what I know can help me make a decision... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angelhair0 Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 Depends on what kind of phaser you're looking for. My favorite so far is the Moog 12-stage phaser. It has a 6 stage option, too. But if I wasn't concerned with 12 stages, I think the Quasar sounds amazing. The Small Stone is okay but it's not tweakable enough for me. The phase 90 sucked in my opinion, and the Red Which would probably come next after the Quasar. Never heard the Modmax. Worst phaser ever: Digitech X Series Hyperphase. The most metalic bull{censored} ever since At The Gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gr8fuldodd Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I've just resigned myself to the idea that I can't get by with just one phaser. I have several phasey goals to meet and no one pedal that I've found satisfies it all. I just had to recognize exactly what those goals were, then identify the pedals that would meet them. Them spend spend spend... I started with a Shannon, then Quasar, now a Nano Stone is winging its way through the mail as I speak. (I have a strange feeling there's another one I'm forgetting about) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angelhair0 Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I just retired my PH-3, actually. Besides tone-suck, I really enjoyed that pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FLYING V 83 Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 Recently sold my Maxon PT999 which was a very nice, subtle 4-stage that didn't overtake my sound. Have an MXR EVH 90 incoming to replace it since I couldn't find a Nano Stone in trade. The EVH seems to have a good review consesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wacopacco Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 the HBE is an amazing phaser. It's got that Small Stone vibe going on, but with alot more tweakability. Now the Quasar is a super nice phaser as well but i've never heard one in person, or even a clip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnrambo Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 i read in an old post earlier today that the psilocybe had a volume drop issue. can anyone confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wacopacco Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 i read in an old post earlier today that the psilocybe had a volume drop issue. can anyone confirm this? negative on the volume drop. Must have been a defective one. Volume drops are one thing that i WONT tolerate. My Electric Mistress had one and it annoyed the piss out of me...

Members murch33 Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 You've got a MkII and you're concerned about other phasers? What's WRONG with you, man?!? I'd murder for one. As far as my input into the thread is concerned, I've owned a Deluxe Moon Phaser in the past and it didn't really rock my world like I'd hoped. I'm probably going to pick up a Moog phaser in the next few days. I really want that thick wubbawubbawubba watery sound that the Moog gives you.

Members PFDarkside Posted January 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Once again, I like all of my phasers (some more than others, ahem... MXR...) but seeing as I'm addicted to the whoosh I need to know what else is out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WorkingClassDan Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 You've got a MkII and you're concerned about other phasers? What's WRONG with you, man?!? I'd murder for one. I think you can have other phasers...The big issue with the IF is that it's a lot to have on a board (and pricey to take on the road). Mike's building me a simple(ish) smallbox phaser as a space saver. A mini-IF, if you will.The IF is a perfect studio tool and OK if you have a massive baord, roadies and don't mind bending down and changing about 8 knobs every time you need a different setting. I did used to run the IF and an Akai Intelliphase on the same board. Akai for simpler 4 stage phasing and IF for blippy stepped 8 stage phasing. Those were 2 large phasers on one board.
