a decent OTA phaser
I got this from my friend who in turn got it at a pawn shopa round 99. I bought it from him as a backup for my 70s small stone. It doesn't sound as good but it sounds good enough. I sold the 70s one for a lot of money and kept this. I had modded the 70s one to be true bypass and to not have a volume drop when engaged.... this I didn't mod. Its a little more transparent output-wise. Very good on electric pianos for a pseudo ashes-to-ashes vibe in the more extreme switch position...s crew around with the knob while playing for extra underwater chaos.

In the user-uploaded photo, Daniel Johns is shown using the Electro-Harmonix Sovtek "Green Russian" Small Stone phaser pedal. Initially, it was mistaken for a Russian Big Muff due to its appearance, but further inspection revealed the two-knob configuration typical of this phaser.

Current live rig. Fuzz Throne into Small stone phaser (set on a fast cycle) into a Jerry Cantrell wah, into a rehoused green Sovtek Small Stone phaser, modded for a super slow sweep by @moose_electronics , into a @bossinfoglobal RE-201 Space Echo. I switched to a @pedaltrain board from the very awesome @rolfpedalboards boards, for a slightly wider platform that was a tiny bit lighter. All in a photographer’s Alpine Lowe backpack as recommended by our very handsome friend Chris Couzens (@slomatics )
