What phasers are best for You?

I've tested today 2 phasers: Electro Harmonix Smallstone EH4800 and old Electro Harmonix Russian SOVTEK and I must admit that eh4800 suxxxx... sovtek sounds really gorgeus and soft ands ideal for jarrish evolving light sweeps!!!

eh4800

The Alesis Ion's phasers are pretty nice.

heres my 3 Phasers

I prefer the Orange/Black Model,this is an Original 70s model,the other 2 are reissues(the EH4800 Originals don't have Status LED and the Sovtek originals are Green)

Between them all they all have a different sound even though there the same pedal,but the Sovtek has a more buzzy sound,but the orange model has that smooth warm fuller sound,I prefer to use the Sovtek more for white noise

I have been after one of the EH Badstone pedals as these are supposed to be the best Phaser ever made,they are very rare(I'm sure i spotted one on top of Dominique Perriers setup on the Moscow concert

I really enjoy the sound of the second one Radek.

BTW, I have also this pedal so ... :)

Some phasers from the Ensoniq DP4 are very good to me, maybe too recognizable, but diferent from the Smal Stone ...

I will try to post some example of the EH with the JP8000 later

LeoDav,

Your DIY Small Stone sounds really good !!!


Kind Regards
it is not the music which is electronic, but the instruments

No wonder :D Actually like I expected, but then again phasers should be subtle in my opinion..

Speaking of phasers... I'm trying something new.. as Phlanger or Flaser what you like more :) I have no sound examples (yet) because I'm still developping it...

It's a phaser and flanger (hence the names) in either serial or parallel mode but driven by the same LFO. Also 3 different forms of feedback can be used (2x seperate and 1 total)... I hope it turns out to be nice... what I created sofar is resonable but not stunning as it should be....

I'm also going to try to recreate the Talking Pedal... I've learned it uses *2* seperate vowel filters...

I have got the same models of the E.H Smallstone as Equin(00)xe. The 70's Smallstone is really creamy and lush. It's like it's made for pads. A friend used it on his Fender Rhodes, Pure magic!
The new Smallstone is more "modern" and straight foward. I like to use this on bass and my drummachines.

IMO nothing can beat a Smallstone. :)

Cool!

I want to build a few pedals into my modular system once I've got a decent synth setup up and running.
