Behringer VP1 Vintage Phaser 4-stars Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

Good value

I've owned some Behringer products in the past and found them to be pretty decent for the price. I'd never gotten the really cheap stuff, though. But, as I was putting together an order to be shipped to Mexico, I thought I'll make good use of those shipping costs and order some effects. This is my first Phaser, so I have nothing to compare it to. However, I like the effect and the sound of this one in particular. The casing is metal, but seems like a mostly empty box and certainly feels cheap -ish in the hand. The switch doesn't have the usual 'click' when you step on it (don't know if it's just mine...), but it works fine. The tone switch and the tone dial are responsive and work well. I also notice that the volume seems to drop once I turn it on. Having said that, I really like this pedal and would certainly recommend it, particularly if you just want to try how a Phaser would be in your effects chain.

Good for starters

This pedal is good for people who are unknown to Phasers (like myself). It is made from good quality materials and it looks nice on a pedal board. The con that I experienced with this pedal is that when the setting is on its lowest, the phaser still moves quite fast. An even slower rate would be nice.

phaser!

Sounds like a EHX bad-stone to me. Full swells and one knob! Its a great pedal for the money and will be a staple on my home board from now on. Space rock for days.
