Big fan of SIB in gerneral and thier phaser is very classy, swooshy and not too show off-ish, but just a tasty amount. Does very nice tops a-twirling and undercurrent subby phasing, this and the red witch moonphaser ( but only the stereo one) are the last word in phasing

I have many phasers and this one is the best. the only other one that comes close is an mxr script logo that my x's father gave to me. the new mxr's are a joke. this captures all the greatness of the original mxr without the slight volume loss. I've also owned this for over a year so no honeymoon here. It is totally transparent with the right amount of swoosh.

Input, Output, Power jack, 2 buttons and 4 Knobs. Knobs are Speed 1, Speed 2, Depth, and Feedback. Left button toggles the effect speed between speeds 1 & 2, right button turns the effect on and off. Its very easy to get a good sound out of it.

I'm running Odyssey G-100->Rockman Vol/Wah->Jersey Girl Plusdriver->Mr Phasey Tits->Peterson Strobostomp->Aquapuss->Seymour Duncan 84-40 Amp This pedal is true bypass so it sounds good off, and i gotta say it sounds even better on. A Boss Ph2 or 3 tends to take your whole signal and make it processed-sounding with a bit of vol drop - this pedal, in contrast, has the phasey swirl stuck on it like the trail from a sparkler at night. The range of the konbs is very good, most importantly, the speeds can be set very slow. The depth is predictable and the feedback makes it more colorful a la the small stone. Wish i could compare it to the red witch but i haven't seen one yet

Overall its a real good phaser and i recommend it. There's that pigtronix phaser now and the red witch which both look interesting and i haven't tried them, but i have tried numerous vintage phasers by mxr ibanez electro-harmonix boss - actually the step phase mode on the ph3 gets huge props for being radical, but the rest of that pedal is pretty standard boss fare - i haven't gone into the bi-phase, but i've tried and enjoyed the maestro and the roland phase 5. I tried the option 5 destination phase and it was pretty blase-blah, but i raise the bar for modern boutique manufacturers.
Having 2 speeds is cool but it makes you wish you could toggle between 2 completely different settings (i.e. with depth and feedback variations as well) At least the buttons are spaced well apart so the risk of stepping on the wrong one is reduced. This pedal is the same size as voodoo labs pedals. The color is really garish. The led above the bypass button pulses with the phase which is nice, the led over the other button is red for speed one and off for speed two - which is also handy.
All in all, this is a great pedal because it sounds really good, its true bypass, its the right size and takes power properly, and, even at retail, you're not paying alot for it. In my opinion, unless you're trying to dive into a stereo bi-phase/flying pan type gratuitously phaserific world, this pedal is as good as it gets, combining modern features with the ability to dial in only the best of the vintage sounds
Wishlist - wish you could toggle between 2 completely different control settings, not just speed - wish the paint was more psychedelic than just puke-colored
