Members dinrodef Posted January 7, 2006 Members Share Posted January 7, 2006 EVH phaser The maxon is nice too... I'm sure there are good boutique makers but the EVH keeps me plenty happy. Sounds good with high gain.. humbuckers, single coils, mid gain, open back combos, 4x12s.., clean channel, efx loop, signal chain,.. You name it the EVH covers it.

Members shakti1977 Posted January 7, 2006 Members Share Posted January 7, 2006 I love my Maxon PH350. It bumped a Moogerfooger off my board. Liked the tone better, and it can cover a lot of ground from lush, mellow and subtle through all-out regenerated insanity to self-oscillation.

Members orourke Posted January 7, 2006 Members Share Posted January 7, 2006 I owned a Red Witch Moon Phaser, I thought it was very pretty sounding but with all the (four) knobs and setteing available, I wasn't able to get it to be intense enough, so I sold it. The MXR EVH is definitly intense enough but with just a speed knob, and a mode toggle, I found it too intense and not versatile enough. I wound up going back to using the phase function on my Boss GT-3. I can control all the perameters better and turn the delay on and off with the same switch.

Members t_e_l_e Posted January 7, 2006 Members Share Posted January 7, 2006 i have built a phase 90 clone from bultyourownclone, it dumped my ibanez PM-7 from the board. i didn't need the versatilty of the pm-7 just nice sweet phaser sound. there is now a fully loaded phaser kit available, which is bigger and has more options and mods... would be a good choice IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Guy Posted January 7, 2006 Members Share Posted January 7, 2006 Brian Marshall has a very nice Phaser. It's called the Quasar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StompboxMan Posted January 7, 2006 Members Share Posted January 7, 2006 I love my Lovetone Doppelganger1 over my MXR Phase 100 because of it's 2 LFO's. DG's are too expensive on the used market. The EH Flanger Hoax does great phasing with parameter unlike any other Phaser. www.lovetone.com/doppelg.html www.ehx.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ProToneThinline Posted January 7, 2006 Members Share Posted January 7, 2006 I picked up a Washburn Bad Dog phaser last night at Media Play for $19. It's not a bad phaser. Three knobs - speed, depth and regeneration, so you can tune in some cool sounds. The build quality is surprisingly good - metal case, real panel mounted pots (not trimmers with shafts), and case mounted jacks. Typical electronic bypass switching. Real (not SMT) parts, so it may be a good platform for mods and/or a re-house. It's kind of fugly, and HEAVY, but it sounds decent. They also had a few chorus pedals, flangers, and a few distortions. I may try next week (when prices go down even more) to see if they have any chorus pedals left. I don't really need another chorus, but is I can get one for $10, whi cares???

Members gr8fuldodd Posted January 7, 2006 Members Share Posted January 7, 2006 If you want a Phase 90 clone w/ more functionality, I would suggest grabbing a Shannon Phaser. This pedal just sounds so great. Subdecay Quasar sounds great too. Tons of tweakability. Some volume loss though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hookstrapped Posted January 7, 2006 Members Share Posted January 7, 2006 Originally posted by Richard Guy Brian Marshall has a very nice Phaser. It's called the Quasar. + 1 super clean -- wonderful for subtle nuanced stuff -- and has the great feedback feature that'll get you in auto-wah territory. for a warmer script Phase 90 sound that's even better than a script Phase 90, good deals can be had on Mu-tron Phasors on ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BmoreTele Posted January 7, 2006 Members Share Posted January 7, 2006 I'm here to testify! Phasers will suck you in, spin you around, and leave you wanting more, More, MORE! There is no "best" phaser, just the next one. The only phaser that I didn't like, out of the twelve I have owned, was the Digitech Hyper Phase and that had a couple cool settings. My advice? Go analog. Have at least speed AND depth controls. Try them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stereotypy Posted January 7, 2006 Members Share Posted January 7, 2006 is this a talking about phase 90 phasers? well. the akai intelliphase is soo good that it's even better than the mxr. and not as much money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members andreas Posted January 7, 2006 Members Share Posted January 7, 2006 Originally posted by tmd187 Now, is there anyway to True Bypass these pedals? Yes, the same way as with the reissue MXR's - you have to cut out a section in the pcb to make room for a 3PDT switch, cut the trace from input jack to circuit input, and fly wires between the switch and all connection points (main input and output, circuit input and output, LED etc). It's not an easy job at all, and you may or may not have room for a battery after you're done (the standard blue 3PDT is a mm or two bigger than the stock switch, which limits the room for the battery). I'd consider running the pedal as is, making sure to keep an active/Boss-type pedal in front of it, to help the signal through the stock bypass system. Another option would be to order a Phase 90 kit from buildyourownclone, as it is TB from the get-go. Oh, and a tip: if you use the tag in you sig all the text in the sig will be a tad smaller, making it far easier to distinguish from what you're writing in your post. As is, it can be quite hard to tell what's what, causing people (me, at least) to ignore your posts completely. Just place a (size=1) tag first, and a (/size) tag at the end (replacing the () for [], obviously). /Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great phaser. I actually think their flanger is juicy enough to cover phase territorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
