This is very easy to use. You can cange the tempo of when the effect kicks in for a more flowing sound for your songs. I found this the phaser I have ever used, more options then any other made. Boss has made a big step from the older versions. I also connected an EV-5 to this and it allows you to change the rate of the effect, I would suggest getting one of these for more control on stage. Anyway I'm giving it and 8 cuz newbie may have trouble getting tempo down

I use a Fender Strat and it sounds great, yet it can pull great sounds even from my Squier Strat. The sound is very smooth unless you turn the knobs to the max. I aslo connected it to a flanger and distortion and after tampering you can get a professional sound easily.

Just got it, one of the few right now, boss is being selective of who they are giving it out too so haven't really beat it up yet. But it's a boss nothing is better in my opinion, my MT-2 lasted a long time and no signs of problems yet. I'll be replacing this with my PH-2 for sure, and this will be easy to use on stage with addition to and EV-5

My band plays a music almost like no other, my best comparison is to TOOL. Very big on effects and this phaser is perfect. I like everything about it I don't have a bad word. If you want a phasing effect try and get this you will be very happy I promise. You cant find a phaser with more options on it then this.

Awesome new phaser with wide variety of phase shifts- the only tricky part about this pedal is trying to set the tempo.

I use a Gibson SG through a Marshall 80-watt combo, and it sounds great! You can get effects ranging from a raygun to an aquarium to a slow shift.

I bought this pedal not so much to play covers, but to try to come up with some unique sounds- and I found the right pedal. This green beauty is better looking (my fav colour, actually) and louder than the PH-2, and blows the Ibanez Phaser out of the water. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to incorporate it into a song, but it's worth the effort- you can turn people's heads and make them say "What the hell was that?" It's my seventh pedal in my four years of playing, and I would replace it ASAP if it disappeared.
