Great Phaser Pedal
Boosts your signal when engaged which can be good or bad depends on the situation.
41029
its really hard to true bypass a small stone without a volume drop or jump when engaged... I know from modding a 2nd series 70s one. Took a lot of fine tuning with an internal trimmer added in place of a fixed voltage divider.

...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.

you're making me miss my 2nd issue 70s smalls tone... why did I sell it again?

Doh! Yeah, I've had the "sale regret" a few times.

Does what it says on the tin!
Lovely warm analogue phase pedal that offers a nice cheap alternative to the MXR Phase 90 pedals. It's THAT sound - you know, 'Breathe' by Pink Floyd. Perhaps not quite as rich as the MXR Script reissue, but it will get you close. There's two settings, one quite subtle, one less so (more pronounced 'notch' filtering. I prefer the subtle one.

'Smoove' Sweep!
I use this pedal in very small doses, with toned-back, long & slow sweeps (sexy, I know). It's good to have the option to brighten the phase tone at the flip of the 'color' switch. I ended up choosing this over a MXR Phase 90, because of the low cost ($50 lightly used) and recommendations.
Buttermilk-thick phase
Pedal does one thing and one thing only. Thankfully, it does it extremely well. I really appreciate the stone-simple design.

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.

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.
153
Excellent Sound
I like its sound and the option to choose the intensity of the modulation. Also, it's true bypass (compared to Phase 90)

Best Phaser
I have used both this and the MXR Phase 90 and I think this is a much better pedal.
