Small Stone : When less is more!!

9 years ago

I decided to buy this pedal after listening to a lot of different models. I was searching for a phaser that could give different tonal shape possibilities with a very simple layout and vintage flavor. Also, i wanted a phaser that could be used in different musical contexts, from metal guitar craziness to lush ambient synth soundscapes.

When I plugged it in my amp for the first time, i was blown away by how awesome it was, both in rhythmic playing and soloing! I then tried it with a novation mininova synth, and that helped me understand how actually cool the color switch is. It gives you a much deeper and washy phaser effect, perfect for getting Jean Michel Jarre-like timbres.

In a metal guitar context by the way, I suggest to disengage the color switch, because it creates a very deep phase shifting that could give less definition .

Pros:

Excellent Sound

True Bypass

Easy to use

Cons:

In my personal experience, none.
