I need a Good Phase Shifter...

[jeffhef]

I'm using an MXR Phase 90 I modded. I cut out the resistor mentioned in an earlier thread. Sounds good now but it's too moisy. So...now I wanna replace it with a new Phase Shifter.

I'm not looking for recommendations on vintage stuff. I'm really not interested in vintage. What I'm interested in is something along the quality of a Fulltone pedal.

True Bypass

Sturdy

Quiet - No button pop and no residual noise when engaged but not playing

Simple - 1 or 2 knobs

Nice sweep range

What are you guys using? What's good? What's better? What's the best? How much can I expect to pay?

I've used an Electro Harmonix Small Stone phase shifter for 20 years. I've had a bunch of them in that time, from a couple of vintage 1970s models to a 1990s Russian-made model, to the new 70s reissue one.

To my ear, they all sound identical, and it's my ideal phase tone. I prefer the phased tone of Gary Rossington's LP on Tuesday's Gone, and the Small Stone nails it.

Well, till we got to the "two knobs" part I was going to recommend the Infinitphase-killer piece of gear, like a Zvex Ooh-wah and phaser all rolled into one, but it has like 20 knobs so that's out. There's a lot of good phasers out there, but I'm not aware of any modern ones I really like. The Small Stone is cheap and you can do a true bypass mod easily, the Boss PH2r is their best effort. The 9 series Ibanez is cool. I don't think any of the big boutique guys are building a phaser right now...

i have one of the first Small Stone issued with a silver case, (it's not pretty anymore but sounds great) and would appreciate the info on the mod you mentioned...

 

[jeffhef]

Yes. I'd very much like info on the Mod as well.
