Recommend me a flanger/phaser pedal

[Jaymz]

Hey!

Im looking for a compact pedal to use live for some passages that call for a deep slow rate flange! Looking for something that isnt TOO expensive, b day coming in Aug so that will be perfect

Ive been looking at a few such as the BOSS BF-3 which looks pretty nice and BOSS are reliable and well built, not a bad price either. Ive also had my eye on a MXR M-101 Phase 90 for some time now, if I turned the rate down I know I could still get the effect im after but at the same time I can nail some killer solo's with it ALA Halen style! :Smokin:

There is a shitload of other pedals out there which I really havent got a clue if they are really nice or just not worth looking at.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks guys

Phase 90!! if you can, grab the EVH version it's the shit!!

Yeah I was kinda leaning toward the Boss due to the amount of features it provides but I like the simplicity of the Phase 90, plus the one "ON" button must have some cracking tone behind it for the price if you get what I mean! Less features more tone perhaps.

+1 on the Phase90. Also try Small Stone, different flavor. (a string synthesizer into two Small Stones plus a lot of delay and/or reverb.. mmmmm.... )

Phase 90.

Phase 90 seems like the best bet, is the EVH script button worth the extra ££?

To bad your not in the states. I'm selling the Boss PH-3.

I like the MXR stuff Phase 90 or the Phase 100. The switching on my 70's AC plug MXR flanger is starting to go but it is a great piece of kit when 100%. Alot of people swear by the late 70's ADA flanger but its going for a ridiculous $400-$600 on ebay. BOSS makes solid acceptable stuff but if you want a more classic sound check out the MXR. The EVH switch is not worth the $40. Buy an older MXR and you'll be happy.

The EVH is actually a fair bit more than $40 converted in the UK, Around $70 mark.
