bassist_lewis Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hey guys, just wondered if people have recommendations for phasers for bass. I used to have an EBS DPhaser years ago but just wondered what else was out there that was worth looking at. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephantgrey Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Depends what your looking for. I use a ChaseBliss Wometone mkII. So much tweakability. I usually feed it a midi clock (via a empress midibox) and the CV from my envelope filter (WMD Protostar). I sync its LFO to the midiclock, and then change the depth and volume with the envelope, which turns it into a weird synced up envelope phaser (and gate for the dirt pedals i put before it). It can also do less weird things i guess (like regular phasing) but i haven't really tried that… I also have a EHX Flanger Hoax, which is basically a normal phaser, twinned with a static phaser (no LFO), and can be set to self oscillate. I would use this a lot more if I could sync the LFO to midi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassist_lewis Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) The wombtone looks incredible but way more than I need. I don't go after synthy tones (...yet...), I'm more likely to be going for Anthony Jackson's sound on "For the love of money".

0175westwood29 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 ive got a soft spot for the redwitch moon phaser really nice, but also the dod phasor is cool as is the mxr phase 99 Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 got a pearl vintage pedal, lovely analogue goodness, this one looks a steal, working too! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pearl-Phaser-Pedal-/132024144502?hash=item1ebd409276:g:xh4AAOSw4GVYRHhU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 My favourite phaser is the MXR Phase 100. It's now on my guitar pedalboard and I used to use it on bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpcMnk Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 The ones I use.. Subdeacay Baby Quasar MXR Phase 99 Pigtronix EP2 All 3 are great on bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearfish Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 The Source Audio Soundblox 2 Orbital Modulator pedal has great versatility and allows bass frequency adjustment - something I find really useful on bass pedals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazWills Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Always loved subtle phase myself, so mxr phase 45 or dod phasor 201... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 My research pointed towards the Psilocybe but then in a very well organised shoot on TB the Orbital Modulator beat it rather convincingly (plus it can do a gazillion other things) so I got one of them instead. Very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 EHX Small Stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 For a while I used an old Ibanez PH-5, sounded fantastic! Really liked it! I swapped it out for a Boss PH-3 because I just needed something a little more extreme, which it does, but it doesn't sound quite as good as the PH-5 at more 'normal' settings.

Highfox Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 [quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1481146260' post='3190105'] EHX Small Stone [/quote] Same here! Fairly cheap but great tone imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I loved my small stone too! Im currently using a Source Audio Lunar . Absolutely loads of sounds available im current ly using it with a Phase 90 sound and an incredible Envelope controlled 6 stage Phaser which sounds wicked with a fuzz. Oh and itcan do Chorus and Flange in a small pedal too endless tweakability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Standard Phase 90 for me. I found the Small Stone too dark, tried a few digital ones that I didn't like, and most other boutique models are clones of the script Phase 90 that sounds too subtle for my liking.

Sibob Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I recorded my PH-3 on a Corybantic tune today. Sounded awesome! Will post the track when it's mixed & mastered etc Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuco Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Yove mentioned the rest , but here's the best : Moog 12 Stage Phaser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 [quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1481146260' post='3190105'] EHX Small Stone [/quote] same here, it is simple but it sounds very good. The Soundblox Manta has some cool phasers too, but for phaser I prefer the EHX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
