tc electronic Helix Phaser

Deep phaser, good sound but needs a computer to use it 100%.

Connected to a computer for editing, it is a powerful phaser with lots of options. Needs more memory slots to store more programs, so that you can recall them on stage live without a pc. Well built.

So versatile

Like the vintage option.

Good, versatile phaser pedal.

I've tried many phaser pedals, the TC Helix phaser is the most versatile of all. Much more valuable than much more expensive pedals Especially for acoustic guitar. The only downside, in my opinion, is the slight lack of analog heat.

Very versatile and have a nice tone! LIke all TC pedals that I use.

Real organic phaser

This pedal adds a fantastic color palette to anything you may be playing. It is smooth, surrounding atmosphere... it wraps up the sound with life from the background without taking full protagonism.

Great effect!

Quality Phaser

Versatile phaser,no complains.

Build quality is good and works as it is supposed to.

Phaser with much versatility

I have looked for a long time to get a phaser. I remember the first effect I purchased was one, decades ago. Now that I have finally switched to electric guitar after decades of acoustic playing, I had to start finding one that suits this instrument.

I cannot but have praise for this pedal. I am delighted by it.

It is purely subjective but with years of acoustic behind me, the intrinsic attention to clarity and presence is still a value even though I do venture into uncharted territories with electric guitar effects like overdrives and distortions.

The quality of this pedal is without reproach. Well build !

And this Toneprint editing for a personal effect, always at hand, is a BIG plus indeed!

very good phaser

Pro: There's a lot of possibilities to get vintage and modern tones. TonePrints and stereo/mono in/out.

Con: none

Can put to bed my Electro Harmonix Small Stone

A Phaser to me is an acquired taste and I like it. I was using an original 70s Electro Harmonix Small Stone for years and sadly it was only the rust on the casing keeping it together and had come to the end of it's gigging days, one more stomp wold have been it's last. So I was looking for a replacement.

The old EH only had one knob so it was either on or off so a mix level is a nice addition. Therefore subtle is the key for this pedal. It can make a creamy rich swirl thickening up a nice clean or distorted sound without being too in your face. As I say subtle as it can also produce vomit inducing sonic wobble if too much.

When the Helix is switched to the 'Smooth' setting it really makes a good if not better replication of my old Small Stone, unlike the EH it is built like a brick so it should last well. It has a very clean sound and little to no background noise.

The tone print is a nice feature, but as I have found with other TC pedals, I very rarely need something which is outside of the standard available settings and this is no exception, if you need sounds outside of the standard on this pedal then you must be playing really 'experimental' music.

All in all a very nice pedal, does the 'phaser thing' very well, so very happy with the purchase. Highly recommended.

Very versatile Phaser

This phaser is great if you want a ton of different sounds.

The smooth and the vintage flick switch offer 2 distinctively different tones.

I've been using smooth a lot more for high gain solos as it cuts through similarly to an auto wah with more depth.

The vintage setting is great for cleans and open picked chords.

It fits nicely on the pedalboard and doesn't take up much room. Easy to use knobs and the excellent tone print features make this a no brainer.

The only con is you can't quite get than authentic phaser 90 sound but you can come very close.

I would recommend this pedal for any board missing a phaser.
