My favorite delay is the MD-2 from Guyatone. It's probably one of the cheapest delays I've ever gotten and it doesn't even have tap tempo, but goly gosh darnit, it's like making out in the pool/jacuzzi.

Any kind of deep blue delay clone (caline or one of the other Chinese brands) is great because unlike the carbon copy’s bucket brigade the digital chip at the heart of the dbd is actually pretty cheap so there’s not many compromises required to do a 1 to 1 ripoff. A lot of what makes analog and pseudo analog delays sound so good is actually the filtering originally intended to hide the noise the chip introduces. DSP based delays on the other hand I’m prepared to pay a bit more for. massive spider fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Aug 25, 2018 |

My parents just sent me the pedals I left there when I moved out, so if you were curious what kind of cheap crap a cash-strapped teen in the mid-90s used here you go: The blank Soundtank is a flanger. The wah is a Morley and it really sucks. I don't know if it's defective or what but it has no treble at all and heel down the signal basically disappears.

Never had a chance to try it with a flanger, but I'm sure it would enhance the effect. Morelys are optical wahs, so you might able to fix it by cleaning the light and sensor inside.

After The War posted:Morelys are optical wahs, so you might able to fix it by cleaning the light and sensor inside. I found a Youtube demo and the guy's sounds just like mine so this might just be what Morleys sound like. Unfortunately I don't have the right power supply for the FX57 (old DODs don't use the Boss-style power supply, they have their own that looks like a headphone plug) and I don't particularly want to waste one of my batteries on it, so I can't comment on what it sounds like. The flanger at least works, aside from the switch being a little flakey.

FX57 is such a weird and therefore great idea: take an HM-2 and add a 4ms delay to "thicken" it. lol <3

I'm going to be checking out phasers some time soon. I had the realisation that despite gobs of dirt pedals all I ever use (and have written 23 demo tracks for an album with) is phaser in front of my amp, my amp clean/crunch/gain sound and a delay for lead. Basically, if it's clean or a lead it might have delay + phaser (or either) and if it's heavy rhythm then it's tracked dry (but like eight times because it's "my sound" y'know?). I have a good delay (Boss DD-3). It's simple and sounds great. I wish it had Tap Tempo but I like the sound so I'll live with it. That leaves phaser. My bandmate has an EHX Bad Stone and holy poo poo it sounds good. When I track demos I use a Small Stone model (I know 6 vs 4 stage). I've never tried a Phase 90 or Boss PH-3, both of which I am keen to try soon. Basically, what basic but nice sounding phasers should I be looking at? A Gillamondo is cool but totally out of my price range. A Chase Bliss Wombtone is too much. Looking for simple and good. Rate and Depth are preferable but I'll live with just Rate. Thanks y'all.

As the owner of um... 9 DOD pedals, this thing does the job. But if you don't want to throw a battery in it, you probably don't want to buy a dedicated adapter-adapter. (Though if you want to get into collecting pedals, it's worth it to have one or two, since a lot of old American brands used the Male Prong, like EHX, MXR, and ProCo.)

I still think the 70s small stones are the best sounding phasors ever. You can usually find them for around 150 bucks. The bad stone is next. The ph-3 is a bit more sterile but it has a lot of cool features (I like the step feature). I find the mxr stuff meh and always have.

Analogue, dirt cheap, hilariously simple, will give you chorusy sounds to near-Leslie sounds with one switch. I guess you could spend more if you really want to, it might be a little noisy for some.

I went down a huge hole of Phaser research or a year or so back. I’m telling you with 100% honesty and enthusiasm that if you want the best tone and best feeling one with pure simplicity of control, buy this. It’s so good. One of the best pedals I’ve played. There’s one on Reverb right now for $100.

I have a Morley Classic Wah from about the same age and I hate it as well. There's about 20% in the middle of the pedal travel range where it actually does anything and the rest is just pointless. And it did that from new. I wouldn't recommend them ever.

My best analogy for what I don't like about it is that it sounds like a synth with the filter resonance turned down too low.

You should at least try a Phase 90, they're classics for a reason. I love my block logo for bass, though I do wish it had a master volume. I can't recommend the Wombtone. It's ridiculously complex, most of the settings aren't really usable, and I actually liked the sound of the Phase 90 better. I'd really like to get my hands on a DOD Phasor or HBE Psilocybe.

If you can find an Ibanez ph99 phaser and have the pedal board real estate grab it. Massively underrated lush phase with two footswitchable modes.

If you've ever wondered why multi-stage/super lush phasers are so expensive: they are a bitch to make because they have to be hand-tuned in several spots. Even the venerable (and affordable!) Phase 90 has to be dialed-in.

I’ve been sort of tempted by the Phase 45, but I’m really fond of the Red Witch phaser.

I don’t even pay attention to other phasers. It’s that exact old school lush sound I always heard in my head. Probably the first time I’ve ever got the exact sound I wanted out of a pedal.

I checked out a bunch of reviews a while back between the MXR M300, Neunaber Immerse and the tc Hall of Fame 2. I made up my mind at the time to get the HoF2, but I finally decided to go to my local shop and buy one to find that they don't stock tc any more, but they do have the EHX Oceans 11, and as far as I can tell from reviews and descriptions the EHX sounds better with the only exception being that it's mono only. I figure if I want stereo I would get a Blue Sky anyway (or use a VST plugin) so that's not a factor. I also have a Holeyboard Wide and after 2 practice sessions I'm starting to regret all the open space on it so probably going to get a PedalTrain Classic JR. Any reason not to get either of those tomorrow?
