Let's list some phaser pedals that go beyond the classic SmallStone/Phase90 concept.

Not just asking out of boredom, I've been wanting to add a phaser to my board for a while now. But though the FX20 was great at doing the normal small stone style swoosh thing, I lacked envelope/step modes or other goodies you find on some new digital phaser effects. Not that I know a lot of examples or anything, which is kinda the whole point of this thread.

I've had my eye on the OBNE Dweller ever since it came out, but I haven't been able to find a good deal for a used one. Seems awesome that it seems like a delay and phaser are fused together or something. Any other builders/brands that have a similar innovative phaser pedlol I should take a look at, something that goes further than even the Boss PH-3?

If you find a good optocoupler phaser, please, let me know.

I had one of these a few years ago:



It has a great bunch of awesome features, but I didn't like the sound at all.

Digitech phasers, Ibanez Tonelok and 10 series. Pigtronix, Tc Electronics, Mu-tron if anyone makes a fair-priced clone

I’ve bought and sold two whetstones - I love the idea of a weird phaser, but it was too much phaser for me. It’s seriously great. I never had an application for it. I bet a used one could be had for…. a reasonable price?

The Wombtone MKII produces the weirdest phaser sounds I've heard. The Quasar DLX (purple V1) does some interesting stuff rhythmically. I haven't used the V2.

The Cusack Tap-a-Phase can get quite out there (vowel groans, laser stutters, hypnotic throbs). Those would be my top-3 recommendations for people targeting more exotic sounds from a phaser.

I want to hear an 8-stage Univibe.

Good call. Top jacks, expression input, tap tempo, 12 different wave shapes,...
Not sure about the Wombtone. Powerfull as fuck I'm sure, but even if I wanted that much on a phaser...those 16 dip switches at the back are just ridiculous imo

I've never played it, but it's a totally different design, the original has 6 swept optical phase stages (and 2 fixed) but from gut shots the new units only have 4 swept stages (and an unknown number of fixed).

For better or worse

I've not used the Synestesia, but it has a S&H mode, along with a standard and an envelope mode. (2/4/6/8 stages) In the ARP section, there's also a phaser mode. Counting the Uni-Vibe, that's 5 modes with possibly more to come in future updates.

Considering the scarcity of the V1 Quasar DLX, you might also try the Prometheus DLX and then pair it with a meat-and-potatoes phaser. You could get all kinds of filtered rhythms and then color them with phaser on the back end.

I had a Poly Phase once. Turns out I prefer sticking with one partner.
