Really easy to use, MXR box three knobs and killer tone. Manual in Japanese only. Who needs it?

Now believe it or not, but I think this is the best kept secre phasor. It will always be on pedal board. When I first got it and played through it I wasn't impressed, but when I opened it up and readjusted the internal trim knobs to my likings, I absoutely love it. You can get MXR script logo phase out of it or even a univibe/leslie effect that is milky and wobbly as my Sweet Sound ULtra Vibe. I couldn't believe it. A little orange pedal like this that can be so versatile. If you put if after all your distortion boxes you get smooth phase that blends well, if you put it before your distortion boxes you get a phasor Van Halen vibe. ITs so cool and out of all the maxon reissues that I have tried this is the best for tone and bang for the buck.

I almost thought about selling my ultra vibe because this sound better as good. But it will never beat the foot controll option on my ultra vibe, so I will keep both. If you get the opportunity to try one, do it. Remember all the magic is in the internal trim knobs.
