Harley Benton Vintage Phase Reviews

It does the job

Solid little phaser, doesn’t sound cheap in any way. Solid metal box, SMD components to keep manufacturing costs down but it sounds great

cool phaser

a really good alternative to the expensive phaser pedals out there. works like a charm, you can get a lot of good effects from it. solid built, good sound, no unwanted noise.

real great sound. Vintage all the way.

This is what you look for when you want a fat phaser.

Doesnt really looks 'hip' but the sound is.

Really really warm.

One knob but a 100 sounds.

So, spray it matt black, kill a worm or another insect on it and everybody wants to have this 'boutique phaser'.

This is a simple unit that has limited controls, but works well. I was looking at the MXR script unit initially, but watched a really good comparison video on youtube that convinced me to buy this unit instead. I only play at home with the amp on a neighbour friendly volume. It works well for me. The build quality is good.

Good bang for the buck

Its a nice pedal and it sounds okay. Built quality is good and its easy to use.

Decent basic phaser

I wasn't expecting much from this piece when I ordered it. Truth to be told I just needed a simple budget phaser with decent sound and that's what this is. The sound is very subtle and probably someone wouldn't find it very satisfying for some kind of an extreme use because it only has one knob to modify the phaser's speed. But on the other hand it has metal casing, true bypass, no hums in a pedal chain, good quality knob(s), good sound (except that "subtle" detail that I've already mentioned) and it's even more that you could for this kind of a price range.

Perfect quality/price product

This is the first phaser I ever had, I must say it works perfectly for my live needs.

I use it mostly in funky songs with an epiphone les paul studio, on clean sound.

It has just one controller, but for my purposes is enough.

I am very satisfied.

Just as good as any phaser out there!

You would hardly tell the difference, excellent value for money. Robust casing. Good job.

Phase Heaven

I was looking around for a phaser DIY kit. After a search, the Harley Benton phaser came up, and it was cheaper than building my own clone. It's now a permanent pedal on my board. Excellent little bit of kit.

Does what it says...

A very simple, neat phaser with a classic sound. The secret is the trim-pot inside. take the back off and make very slight adjustments until you get the sound how you like it.

The pros would be it's classic sound and its simplicity. The cons would be its lack of adjustment, but that's obvious and if you want that level of control then you wouldn't buy this.

looks like a Phaser, sounds like a Phaser, must be a Phaser

It's made of plastic but is very sturdy.

Gives a slight volume boost

Cool Phaser

Does what you'd expect

Subtle phase

Really nice, subtle, simple phase. It's exactly what you could expect from a simple one-knob phaser.

No volume drop, doesn't add hum/hiss and the build quality is good.

It's a bit bigger than MXR pedals but that's not a big issue for me.

Not Quite There

Bought this phase thinking it may be able to compare to the phase 90. It just doesn't have the same range. It also doesn't like to play well with other pedals, and tends to get noisy.

Quite nice sounding but....

Sounds and feels more expensive than it is, but it... well, it plays FM...

You can probably fix this by connecting a wire from the DC in ground to the chassis, but still, it should have been done at the factory.

Experimentation without breaking the bank

Bought to add to my pedalboard. Always wanted a phase pedal but could not justify spending too much on one. The Harley Benton phase is fantastic quality and does the job perfectly. Although probably not as flexible as a more expensive equivalent, I've had no problems with the pedal and I like its sound.

Solid casing and seemingly hard-wearing button. Highly recommended

Does the job

does the job if you want a not very versatile and easy to use Chorus. The sound is good enough for the price and I would definitelty get one a bit more expensive if I were to buy a chorus again..

Nice simple phaser

This pedal is not too bad, it really depends on the type of sounds being ran through it. I have found it hardly responds to monosynth sounds however it has a very pleasing sound when being used with string machines and polysynth patches. It requires a much lower volume signal than my EHX Small Stone pedal which means for live use I have to give over two channels of my mixer to reamplify it's output.

Phase Pedal

Great priced pedal ....Strong case and nice ..sweet tones i use this will a Harley Benton Flanger and Overdrive to get a Hendrix Purple Haze tone play it into Marshall Stack

Hard to beat for the price

Bought this pedal because I need phaser just for one song in my whole set. I used to have behringer multifx pedal set to phaser, but this pedal destroys it. It sounds actually really natural and organic, reminds me on MXR. I use it in front of my overdriven marshall.

It is made extremly well, it has true bypass and metal casing, everything looks well made with quality components.

I've been using some of the other harley benton / joyo pedals for years, and none of them dissapointed me.

If you are looking for boutique piece of gear, then go and buy that, but if you need a workhorse, than look no further.
