To those that have these where do you place them in your effects chain? Everything i read say's to put it infront of the fuzz/ distortion but i prefer it after and that's one of the issues i've had with phasers is not all work good after dirt pedals but this one i think sounds great and exactly what i was looking for.

I just bought a new Grand Orbiter, but I think it's not working properly.
strange sounds are happening somewhere in the sweep-cycle.

I want to know if this is normal and maybe somebody here can help me. I will upload a mp3 with 4 settings. use each with a guitar and organ.

on the picture use can see the settings......the strange alien-buzz-zound is not normal I think..do other people has also this sound with the same settings?
I have the newest model.

JUST got one of the red/white ones used and was stunned at how good it sounds...my 4th EQD, guess I shouldn't be at all surprised. In line after Blunderbuss and/or Black Forest, I wanted to keep it on for the whole jam last night...

My thoughts exactly...THIS would be the bomb, even just being able to toggle between the two ranges.

I'll wind it up this w/e and see if I can replicate your problem. I did notice the vibe mode seems way quieter than the phase setting on mine unless the depth is cranked...but I assume this is normal.
Anyone got a manual for these?

I thought the vib mode isn't really a mode-change.

in vib-mode the mix between wet and dry (direct signal and processed signal) at the output is 100% wet...so no direct sound at all from the input

With fuzz it makes me want to go on a massive killing spree. The joyous kind.

Yes

All of these statements are true. I love my Orbiter, especially after my TAFM. Lately I've had it all set to noon, but that's because I like a slow phase. Heavy, but not really wet sounding so I don't crank the resonance. And then I proceed to KILL.

Anyone have a manual/instructions for the GO?
I spend hours knob twiddling (not complaining--ya'll know how good this shit sounds) but I'd love to read Jamie's explanations of the controls...

late,late,late to this party, but my GAWD, what a phaser! Ernie Isley's in there, urging Billy Corgan to STFU and play the "Plume" solo. Seriously, it's every type of sound I've ever wanted in a phaser( except for Squarewave mode but I don't care, because what it does it does AMAZINGLY). So much swoosh, so much vowel. And the vibrato is insane!
