Bought this used for like $60 CAD about a year ago. It has many great features but I mostly just use it for simple clean swells and tones. Retail its like $180 I believe but IMO it's one of the best phasers on the market.
I made a demo video here if your not familiar:

What are your guys thoughts on it?

It's got a pretty strong flavor, meaning that you gotta make an effort to dial in milder tones. It can be harsh sometimes. It can get pretty crazy, and it can do Sci-Fi sounds pretty easy.
I have one and I love it, and I will probably keep it forever, but I don't actually use it much right now...

I had one many years back and never really liked it. It was okay on it's own I guess, but just couldn't get it to work with the rest of my setup and didn't find many sounds I reaaaaally liked in the long run. The features were kinda cooler than the sounds they made, to me. It was my first phaser and I've tried out quite a few since then, had Whetstone for a while which I eventually sold, liked the Small Stone, but never settled and eventually got back round to Boss and a cheap used PH-2 which I absoultely love. It's really cutting at times but can be dialled in quite subtle too. Just love how many sounds it has in it. Summary: there are a lot of different phasers, to each their own.

I have one and like it alot but generally only use it for feedback loop type stuff
Sometimes the volume drop is a bit much for me.
