...on stun
Great phase pedal, mainly use it for either full-phase freak outs or subtle texture/tone stuff..... The mini EH pedals are great if like me short on pedal board real estate.



Great phaser that respects your signal
It´s a really good sounding phaser. With the color switch down it gives a moderate phasing that respects your tone and gives a full sounding guitar, without drops in volume or tone during the phasing. I say this because other phasers and this one with the color switch up do that, making the guiar sound weird with the drops and jumps in the signal. I like the color switch up when the rate is really fast. The only thing i don´t like is the small drop in volume while using it because it affects the presence.

Classic pedal, smaller chassis
Pedal board friendly version of the original Small Stone pedal is an excellent addition to the board. Best phaser available in my opinion.

Very nice , pedal
Bringing back the vintage Small Stone Tones , qith better tone on rotation, forme, it kills the phase 90 on tone , and the color switch makes it more usefull i use mine and looks like a chorus on something like 10 o clock. All in All a nice pedal on little box . It has probably the same circuit of the vintage ones.

Odd little phaser
Can be dreamy, can be crazy. Great frequency range. Great speed range. Compared to MXR Phase 90 sweeps all over frequencies, not just mids, so a little bit in odds with guitar tones, but has great potential with synths an keys. Lacks proper depth control.

Good for psicodelia
A simple phaser. If the Color Switch is down, the phaser is very subtle. When is Up, is really strong. This pedal would be perfect if there were not like a "Hole" in the middle of the oscilation.

Excelente sonido
Me gusta su sonido y la opción de elegir la intensidad de la modulación. Además es true bypass (en comparación a Phase 90)

Phasery
Decent phase. Functional. Nothing special. I prefer the Bad Stone.
Tiny phaser, great for instant results
A great pedal that gets you straight into what makes a phaser so alluring - that thick, swirling whirlpool tone is right there from the stomp with this unit. While I generally keep this pedal's Rate control turned more towards 10 o'clock, a lovely Leslie-style shimmer can be achieved by turning the Rate up from 3 o'clock onwards. This pedal is housed in a thick, sturdy metal casing and takes up such little space its hard to believe that such a small unit has the capacity to retain a stellar sound. The downside to this is there aren't as many parameters to tweak as I would like on a phaser unit. This unit only comes with a Rate variable and a 2-way Colour switch (keeping the Colour up maintains a lot of mids whereas flipping it down seems to scoop out the midrange and fattens up the lower frequencies), which may be lacking for a lot of players who are looking to find a main phaser pedal in their rig. Variable Colour, Mix and Feedback would be an excellent edition, yet there are plenty of bigger phaser pedals out there that will offer these features. If you're looking for a basic, affordable yet lush phaser - this is a great option.

Description
Somehow this little rock manages to roll itself around nearly every musical style.
The Electro-Harmonix Nano Small Stone Phase Shifter is everything you love about the original Small Stone in a smaller, die-cast package! It's an effects pedal that delivers full-bodied, three dimensional phasing to add a special swirl to every musical style. Blues boys and babes dig its rapidly rotating speaker effect while Country players use it to add seasoning to their chicken' pickin'. Metal-heads and Industrialists dig the Stone's jet plane woosh. No matter what your musical pleasure, the Nano Small Stone Phase Shifter is guaranteed to increase it!
The rate control adjusts the speed of the phasing sweep (clockwise rotation for a faster rate). Snapping the color switch up carves into the frequency spectrum, hollowing out the sound. Fundamentals and harmonics glide in and out for an extremely pronounced shifting effect. Return the color switch to the down position and the fullness returns. In the non-color position, with the sweep speed at minimum, the effect is not as strong and if the slowest sweep is desired the color switch should be in the up position.
Specifications
- Highly adjustable phase shift effect
- Rate control
- Color switch
- Die cast casing with rounded corners
Buttermilk-thick phase
Pedal does one thing and one thing only. Thankfully, it does it extremely well. I really appreciate the stone-simple design.
