tc electronic Blood Moon Phaser 3-stars Reviews

Ohhh

When you turn on the effect, the volume seem to like raise too high

Great phaser for the price

Very good phaser pedal for the price. I used it with my les paul and bugera tube amp and it sounded ok. Definetely prefer my phase 90 tho.

Pros

great build quality

more versatile than expected

price

Cons

Sounds a bit weird and complicated to me

the pedal is activated when the footswitch is released

decent sound but increases volume

its a decent sounding analogue phaser that seems very resistent and has simple controls...the thing is it increases the volume when its on...for me its not practical because i would have to turn the guitar volume down and my overdrive pedal changes its grit according to the volume comin out of the guitar. Maybe for recordin its good enough or live if you have a volume pedal you probably could turn the volume down when you engage the blood moon

Not exactly what I was hoping it would be

First of all I must mention that this pedal is very cheap and that for the price you won't find many better phaser pedals. That said, I don't find it usable in playing live. The pedal would boost my volume be a noticeable amount ( I would say maybe 15-20%) every time I would engage it. For me personally that is a deal breaker as I mostly play live. In other situations however, like practicing at home or recording at studio, I could easily find a use for it. It has a good sound, enough features and is built pretty solid even though it is cheap (it is pretty sizeable though). All in all I wouldn't recommend it for live players but if you need it for other situations it will do a good job for a small price.

Would be a great pedal, if it didn't have a huge drawback

The construction is really solid, when I got it and opened it I was like Woah, for 32EURs this must be the deal of the century.

Plug it in, the effect sounds nice, but the pedal adds an extreme amount of volume.

It really does act as a boost pedal, it's really really not the ideal way of using an effect pedal. Since there's not output control on it, it's impossible to change the output volume, so I'm a kind of disappointed with this.

I can only use it when lead tones come in and I actually want to have boost at the same time.

a little bit disappointed

I wanted to try these new cheap pedals, slightly disappointed:

+ super sturdy construction

+ sound is decent

- a little too big and bulky

- adds too much volume which is the real downside to me, acts as a boost which isn't ideal

Great value for the price point

It boosts my signal quite a bit when engaged. The effect sounds overall good if you don't mind this fact. Built like a tank and easy to use
