Looking for another phase, and can't decide between these two...I have a Grand Orbiter, and sold my Whetstone--while I LOVE the smallstone sound there were just too many options and not enough real-estate on my board. Faye Sing seems like it's way versatile, and I already have an expression pedal...it's a bit more expensive but not a big deal. I also love Blackout and the simplicity of the Sib, and I know it hasn't been out so long to get around yet.
It'll mostly get used for slow and dirty heaviness/mind melting. I hate to abuse return policies...maybe I just need to buy both and return one but OMG SELF-CONTROL

as a guy who went from Whetstone to a Faye Sing:

it's absolutely different but for your needs, i'd say the Faye Sing will be awesome

the thing is it's very VOCAL - deep and grainy and just gooey as fuck. Whetstone is much smoother - Sibling will be as well. When i had Whetstone, i couldn't get those kinds of phasing right, so for deep and slow heavy psychedelia and mind melting, the Faye Sing should be perfect!

And although i'm not really sure it's what i'm looking for, it kinda grew on me it's very unique i'd say and with the expression pedal, it should be even more awesome

Oh hey, if you read what I just deleted I was totally wrong.

I would say Faye Sing because it's got much more control for, what like $60 more? I would say it's worth it. Also, the Subdecay Baby Quasar has a similar sound but it it smaller and not too many controls. It's a smaller version of the Quasar DLX. They are discontinued but I've seen them go for $125 before. Maybe a little less vocal than the Faye but more control/similar tone/cheaper price than the sibling

Faye Sing was cool, but it was very dark and VERY vocal/metalic sounding. But I kind of miss it. I also had the Whetstone, which I loved. I REALLY loved the Whetstone, I hope the Sibling can get nearly as slow as the Whetstone did

Not to bust yo' bubble, but I think Kyle said it couldn't. Maybe nearly, but not quite.

It's a tough choice buddy
Personally I'm only selling my whetstone to get a sibling so I can fit a rainbow machine on my board as well

Yeah, I kind of figured that the Sibling wouldn't get quite quite as slow. No biggie. I seem to only use phaser on bass... that being said, the Malekko Phaser ruled on bass

That's it. There's the answer right there.

6 Rainbow Machines panned in 6.1 Surround Sound.

Funny, I spent about an hour with the Malekko before boxing it up and sending it back...

I also enjoyed the Ibanez Phase Tone II. That shit was lush as hell, but totally off topic.
I'd say if you want a more traditionally voiced phase, Sibling. If you want something a little different sounding, go Faye Sing!

I had a Faye Sing, only got rid of it to get a Faye's Her. They both rule but def a different sound when compared to a Whetstone or Small Stone, not as thick/lush/smooth. The expression and blend control are both excellent features on the Infanem stuff.

The Subsecay Quasar DLX looks great too, insane flexibilty in a small footprint, same size as a Faye Sing I think but a bit more coin...

i havent tried the grand orbiter, but from demos it sounds similar to the whetstone/sibling in that its got that 4-stage OTA sound.
i havent heard the sibling properly yet, although i have the whetstone and i love the option of the async sweep, it gives that 'chasing' small stone swirl where it does like a double climb - very wooshy on slower speeds

the faye sing is switchable 6/8 stages ldr(?) and will give you a very different sound and option to the orbiter, so i would get that one

This is what worries me about the really vocal phasers, that over-pronounced gurgle that makes you fade in TOO MUCH and then disappear out of a mix. If the resonance is way off on a Grand Orbiter, some frequencies just jump way out front while others die.

SOME AWESOME INPUT SO FAR, THANKS SO MUCH

i tries the dlx but i just didnt like all the wave options so i got rid of it

the baby quasar also has a better sound but it doesnt go slow enough
