Members TIKILOCKEDOUT Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 Anybody a user of these effects? I am looking rather closely at the Psilocybe Phaser ... there are only two reviews at HC and I don't recall anybody talking about it here. What's the word?

Members Arjae Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 Fatbackribs (member here) has some video clips of it. Lots of people here have them and love them. I wanted one for a while but ended up with the Retro-Sonic Phaser instead which is another excellent phaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've listened to the clips ( ) at the sites and it sounds good but I want to know more before I make up my mind. Have you owned ANY HBE pedals before?

Maybe lot's is the wrong quantifier but, yes, people here do have them and dig them. I am sure they will chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None have really interested me aside from the Psilocybe. I have no first hand experience with any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PurpleStrat Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 Hey arjae why did you pick the Retro-Sonic over it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TIKILOCKEDOUT Posted July 11, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 Ok bummer ... it's no better than my Ph-1r ... Regen is just the rate of modulation ... I was hoping for some kind of self oss with phaser! Not to be ... hmmm wonder what mods might be available for a Ph-1r? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Arjae Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 Originally posted by PurpleStrat Hey arjea why did you pick the Retro-Sonic over it? 1) Both were extremely hard to find at the time and I found an RS before I could find the Psilocybe. 2) I am more into the classic Script phasing tones as opposed to over the top ones. The Psilocybe can do Script as well but not as close from what I had read in reviews. 3) The RS has a volume knob on it and I really like to be able to control the mix on modulation. I still want to try a Psilocybe one day though. I actually sold off the RS soon after getting it because I needed some money quick. I got it during the time I was having my Mojo Vibe rehoused and once I got the Mojo back, I realized I could live without a phaser for a while.

Yeah, they have since changed the labeling of the pedal to speed instead of regen because it was causing confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking for a Phaser I can make very very subtle or over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works excellent. It can provide a boosted signal as well towards the end of it's range. Can also make it subtle.Maybe Devon can chime in here since he has it now!

So I can buy more fuzz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FLYING V 83 Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 The best TS clone out there:Had the UFO fuzz for a while, just couldn't dial it in right with my rig. HBE pedals are probably in the top 3 boutique pedals IMO, and Joel is a great guy to deal with. I'm also interested in the Psilocybe, and wouldn't hesitate for a moment about it's quality.

Hated to let it go but needed to at the time. I will definitely get another as soon as dealers get them. According to the site, they shipped to dealers this week.

Have you ever had a Sub Decay Quaser to compare it to? It and the Retro are now at the top of my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Arjae Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 Originally posted by PurpleStrat Have you ever had a Sub Decay Quaser to compare it to? It and the Retro are now at the top of my list. I got to play one via the last tourbox. While it was very good, it was too tweakable for my liking. I am more into the Phase 90, one knob thing. But the added depth and mix on the RS were added bonuses that allowed you to tailor the effect to taste without giving you too many options. It always sounds like a Script 90, but you can just vary the amount of the effect via depth and volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members outofmoney Posted July 11, 2006 Members Share Posted July 11, 2006 I use their treble boost. cuts through the band mix and overdrives my Orange in its clean channel.. not so much in the dirt channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some do the watery warble thing great, some do the jet plane better and deeper, some do vibrato better. I got a 3ms Phaser Fluer that I love, but I want another one or two.
