I have the EHX-4800 phaser. I think it sounds pretty good but everybody says that the original phaser from the seventies souds better. I have found a Sovtek phaser and I'm wondering if that one sounds better than the EHX-4800 and if it is comparable with the original seventies phaser. I think it is the Sovtek phaser mk3.

Can you guys please advise me if this would be a good investment (better sound) :)

Thanks Radek. So you're actually saying that the Sovtek phaser sounds the same as the EHX-4800 reissue then?

they sound same. Maybe 4800 is a bit brighter but like i mentioned its a matter of few resistors.
