Phasers?

Nicholas Scott · From: Norfolk, VA USA

Anybody have a recommendation for a phaser effect pedal? I was thinking of adding that effect to my steel setup. Looking to get the sound that Luke is getting in this tune.......

I've been looking at the MXR Phase 95.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks!

I use an MXR phase 90. One knob,one switch, orange case.

My favorite is a black russian EHX small stone. The new ones are good too, and priced very reasonable. I like the MXR phase 90 on guitar but not as much for steel as the small stone. I haven't tried the 95.

The Earthquaker Devices Grand Orbiter is really good, but more expensive than the EHX or MXR.

I would recommend the Small Stone all things considered but there are several good options.

I am looking at phasers myself and would love to find a good one with a blend knob.

I use one of these for guitar, (usually for Waylon tunes), never tried it yet on lap or pedal steel. (I haven't sorted through everything it will do!)

Lots of great phasers out there and itâ€™s going to come down to a combination of the sound youâ€™re after and what else is in your signal chain. Phasers can sound really different in combination with other pedals.

I have a Phase95 which I love for the versatility. The downside for me is that while it sounds great after light overdrive, it sounds awful after heavier distortion - at least thatâ€™s the case with my rig. YMMV.

Luke chimed in on Facebook. Said he was using a custom 70s style phaser setting he created on a Strymon Mobius in the song I posted. Always nice to get the info straight from the source. Now which piece of gear do I part with to get one of those.....haha.

Here is a link to the pedal if anyone is interested.

Nicholas- Thanks for posting that link.

I didn't know phase shifters were back in vogue.

I need to get out more often! Laughing

There is a Vintage Mu-Tron Phasor II on our local Portland Craigslist, with lots of pics, and pics the original Operating Instruction, too.
I have one. They sound pretty good but are pricey in Vintage-land.

I used a Phase 100 for years when I was playing more rock and alt-country. It's very intense, and worked pretty good with a Boss Tone, too! (Working in raucous bands requires more intense EFX.) Nowadays, I use subtler EFX, like the chorus in my amp, as the Phase 100 has a strength control, but not a real blend.

Ken Metcalf · From: San Antonio Texas USA

I had a semi expensive Phaser (Maxon) and was never happy with it. We were playing some gigs with a guy Kacey Toliver and he hit his phasor and I was like Damn! So I go check it out. It was a Behringer VP1 Vintage Phaser and has that old phase sound I wanted. These things are ridiculously cheap and sound like a really good Waylon phaser.

Pete,
There is a fellow building the LuckDuck Nu-Tron II phaser now, a direct copy of the Mu-Tron in a smaller configuration.

I still have my original Mutron Phaser from back in the early 70's. Nothing sounds as good.

I don't know much about phasers, but I LOVE Buddy's phaser sound on "You Are So Beautiful." I think he was playing through a the built-in phaser of a Peavey Session 500.

What pedals come close to that phaser sound?

Walter Killam · From: Nebraska, USA

I have the TC electronics blood moon. The feedback knob gives some additional depth and character.

The visual sound oil can phaser sounds great, gets good reviews, and mostly, it's cheap, for what will almost definitely be an occasional use pedal.
