One must adjust allot to find the sound you want. Also have to adjust pickup settings tone and volume on your guitar. Not the units fault but you can't leave on the same settings for different artists sound. You may also find your own unique sound.

Sound Quality is good. Not real noisy as I listened to it through headphones to test. Natch it can get noisy when playing with distortion,. You can get many different sounds from the Traveling Wilburys Its Alwight intro, clean strat middle pickup D shape chords up the neck, to the Police and Hendrix (chorus) but you must adjust it to fit. With the Spring reverb on my Super Champ you can get a great empty dance hall sound that echoes and swirls.

Reliability : No Opinion
It is metal and the jacks are sturdy. Only had it a five days.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never used them

This one is recomended. Good value. I play a Hot Roded Fender Classic 50's Strat and a Hot Roded Tele with Custom Shop 51 Nocaster pups through a 30 watt Vox, a 15 watt Super Champ and a Solid State Epiphone 60 watt. I believe this will help me in my Studio to create some new sounds. I have been playing 6 string acoustic since 1973, electric solid since 1993 and Bass since 1968. I do not play live anymore. I play folk, old country and the classic rock songs past and those soon to be.

Easy to use and very adjustable. 3 knobs (descriptions in laymen's terms):
Speed- self explanatory
Resonance- how much of "phase"
Depth- how powerful the "phase" is

really easy to understand and change to your liking.

Sound Quality : 10
No tone loss. Becomes much more present when run through a good distortion. Easy to get the MXR 90 sound;only 5-10 minutes of adjusting. Ridiculous for the price.

Reliability : 10
Solid steel... no worries. Very battery efficient and i wont even bother using a backup, because it wont break.

Customer Support : No Opinion

Killer phase shifter. It's like old Van Halen tone for less than half the price. I'm very happy with this pedal. Thick, swirling phasing. It's just sick.

Reliability : 9
So far it has been great. Very strong durability. It is made with good parts. Not cheap plastic.

Very easy to use.

Speed, Depth and Resonance controls

One input and output

A battery compartment and a 9v power supply input


Sound Quality : 9
Good sound from this unit

Warm tone, and a array of phase effects can be made by using the resonance control, which acts almost like an eq and blend control.
High settings create a modern sounding phase tone ie Incubus, while lower settings create warm vintage tones, Led Zeppelin etc.

I do not notice any tone loss with this pedal in front or in the amp effects loop.

Reliability : No Opinion
Nothing to say here, I have had no problems with this pedal.


Customer Support : No Opinion
Not needed them.

Overall Rating : 9
This pedal has some cool sounds in it, its easy of use and simple design make it cool pedal to have.
No tone loss is great as alot of phaser pedals tend to mess with the tone of your instrument.
