Small Stone : Classic phaser pedal with some minor drawbacks

I bought this product because it is used by Kevin Parker of Tame Impala for their very iconic sound.

Pros:

- Very nice tone, the phase is psychedelic and smooth

- You can switch between "color" modes - up makes the phase much deeper with higher cuts to lows. Down makes it more smooth and equalized.

- Durable and doesn't take too much space

Cons:

- Requires sufficient power or it will produce weird sounds and crackles. It work weirdly with some of the adapters I've tried.

- I've tried two of these pedals in various setups, and with the color set to up, it produces huge volume boost at the top of the phase which is very irritating. Even if I put it before the compressor.

One thing to note - set the color to down if you want to use it with heavy distortion. If it's set to up, it will sound ugly.
