Helix Phaser : TC Electronic Helix Phaser - Set To Stun !

10 years ago

TC Electronic take the digital approach to their pedals (otherwise you couldn't have TonePrint) and I am well impressed with their HyperGravity Compressor, particularly the low noise of the digital implementation. The price of the Helix Phaser is comparable with the analogue devices (Vintage original and new). The digital technology gives the possibility of exceptionally wide (even extreme) control of the sound. With ultra low noise, this is capable of incredible depth. The option of a personalised TonePrint will take me some time to explore, but the standard range of control is really impressive. There is no trace of noise from this pedal I can only say it's "Studio quality" and depending on if you're prepared to spend some time customising your own TonePrint it is possible to get exactly what you want out of it. This really is 21st century electronics! Occasionally I have resorted to using a Flanger instead of a Phaser for many years, simply because no other simple Phaser was "In your face" enough. Flangers are usually just that bit too "Metallic" sounding. Phasers are just too subtle and until now there was no Phaser to really "Grab your attention". The official website demo's really grabbed my attention with the sheer depth and power possible! Now I can really "Set Phaser to Stun"!
