Behringer VP1 Vintage Phaser Reviews

Love this phaser

If you want that authentic stone sound without the price that goes with it lok no further than this. I don't think its possible to make this sound bad. Try it on Fender Rhodes Guitar & Synths!!!

Unusable!

I have several Behringer pedals and all are pretty good. I so much wanted this to be good but in fact the volume drop when engaged is so much that it makes it totally unusable for anything at all. I have tried everything to level it out, ie higher mA supply or placing it before the compressor but nothing works. I would guess the volume drops to around 25%. I will start saving up for a Small Stone so I can bin this!

basically perfect

Despite the cheap price, the quality is actually as good as I need it to be. Sounds perfect, looks extremely cool and feels sturdy. Only problem is that the switch is one of those very cheap switches with no click at the bottom, so sometimes I get confused about whether or not i turned it on, but its not too big of a problem I dont really care about it because everything else is great.

Do recommend to buy

Phasing is fun with a big metal brick

Simple to use vintage phaser with a tone switch. The sound is OK, but if you roll the knob beyond 6 it becomes relatively useless. It is a sturdy metal brick with a relatively loud footswitch, and the battery slot is burried deep in the box so I recommend you have a power bank ready. Also, it consumes a lot of space on the pedalboard. Alltogether: not bad for a begginer's or bedroom players' taste in phasing, but probably not the first choice for gigging.

Excellent for the occasional phaser user

I have never been a big phaser user, but recently acquired some nice new Fuzz pedals and wanted to place a phaser after them, I didn’t want to spend too much as I knew it would only ever get light use. I went for this one as I’d had my eye on it for some time and really liked the aesthetic. Pleased to say this did not disappoint, it’s a very very usable phaser, certainly the best I’ve ever tried and the build quality really is up there with what this thing is clearly inspired by, all round I don’t think you can go wrong with this and I’d recommend to anyone curious about the effect.

It does *that* thing exactly like the other pedal that made JMJ famous. It does its thing and has survived the few gigs and studio sessions its been in. Typically I run keyboards through it and it works great.

If you own a delay pedal with a send-return loop or a desk it's good fun to have a phaser in the feedback adding texture. If you don't like this style of phaser, I'd just not get it.

Very good simple vintage phaser pedal

I wanted to have a simple phaser pedal. This product does exactly that. Sound is vintage and soft. Very good pedal for that price range.

At this price ?!?

great little clone, not perfect, but very useable.

The price !!

Quick delivery.

No fuss.

Great phaser pedal for a small price.

This phaser sounds great, is not too complicated and does whatever a phaser pedal should do. The enclosure seems to be quite sturdy and the footswitch feels very comfortable to my feet.

amazing pedal for the money

Easy to use, looks great, sounds quite good... there is absolutely nothing bad about this pedal. Maybe not for the professionals in the studio sound quality, but pretty close. Just perfect for guitar players who enjoy new sounds. I am sure that there is nothing even close to this one for the money.

phasey phasey !!

SuperGorgeousMegaVintage Phaser!!!

don't be fooled by the price, this pedal rocks!!

Super

Actually it's very nice pedal and simple. Really enjoyed working with!

Cheaper than software

I really like this. It looks cool and sounds good. The price is fantastic.

Great phaser!

Pros:

Cheap, cool looking, big knob. Nice switch in the pedal for different styles.

Cons:

Power connector seems breakable when its plugged. It sucks some volume and highs of the original signal.

You should take it for that price ;)

Amazed by the sound and quality for the price! I got rid of my phase90 and kept this one instead.

I don't know how they do it for this money! This is the best pedal I have.

fantastci

extremely simple to use.

effective and great sound.

the case is a bit light to my liking. But perfectly fine.

Great small stone replica

This is the best small stone replica I've used so far when taking into account the price vs quality. The only negative point for me is that I'd like a slower phasing rate option. Maybe with a switch or something. I'll most likely end up modding my copy. Note that the output level is quite low just like with the original small stone phaser.

Best deal for that price

It is build like a tank. There is a tone switch that change the way pedal is working, one of its settings sound a bit like an auto wah. What convinced me to buy this pedal (a demo on youtube) was how subtle can be on its minimum setting. I used it mostly before a big muff fuzz. This pedal is dead silent, no buzz, no hiss, not even phaser envelope on background, but I have to mention that I use it with a very good multi power source.

Others said that it lacks amplitude, but this is exactly what I like, because you can't hear that artificial annoying sound, just a nice envelope that emphasize your sound. If you want something exaggerating, then you should look other way.

It's pretty good

a very simple vintage phaser, that sounds like a vintage phaser. 1 knob 1 button, does the trick for me. used a ehx small stone, and this one satisfies me the same.
