I found the Mooer was the most natural and subtle sounding along with the small stone so for the kind of music I play those 2 win. Then again, all sound great to me, I'd just use them for different things. Thanks for the great comparison
EHX Badstone, like water sloshing around in a fishtank. Swampy yet clear, provisioning sonic organic nutrition. I've paired mine with a Tech 21 Plexi hot rod drive.
I feel like the EHX pedals sounds better with overdriven sounds than with clean sounds. For me MXR and Mooer wins. Hard for me to admit that because I don't like small pedals and Mooer. But I'm considering buying the Ninety Orange.
I think the Small Stone wins for me just because it had the least effect on volume. The Phase 90 is a lot more watery sounding which is nice, but that volume jump can get difficult to contain in certain settings
Small Stone kicks serious ass-awesome for epic slower sweeps/ very wavey and dramatic.Also great for funky distorted Jimi vibe.MXR always sounds way too processed and non transparent. Electro Harmonix is the true diamond!
I think I'm sold on the Mooer Ninety Orange! Love this shootout, was a good comparison of the different pedals. The MXR seems a bit more sharp when it goes in and out, the EH models had too much going on for me to deal with. The Phase King was a little over distorted, and the Van Golem sounded like it filtered out a bunch of tone. That's how I heard them, anyway.
Hi Lloyd! The Mooer is a great, compact pedal that perfectly captures what the MXR EVH does on a third of the prize (and 1/3 of the size, and with true bypass). The MXR EVH sounds a little rounder and fuller to me, but only if you really pay attention to it. And I agree, the last 2 pedals on the the left are not really that great. Thanks for your comment!
Small stone has the best tone , l have a 1974 script logo. I have a feeling the ehx small stone would still win. The nano series seem to have smoother more sag & compression and less plastic stiff sound & feel.
Thank you for doing this. Not sure if this was already mentioned...THIS IS POST DISTORTION. Which is fine for exposing the the phase effect in a more pronounced way. Not if you are want to be subtle.
It really depends what kind of sound you like-the MXR style of phase or the EHX style of phase. If you like the MXR, you can't go wrong with the Mooer or the Phase 90 (or even better: the MXR EVH Phase 90, great pedal), if you like the EHX style of phaser, the Small Stone or it's wilder brother, the Bad Stone are great!
yep, there are some infos in some SP fan websites, but I asked you in order to purchase any phaser the closest to that sound. Please, try to listen the intro of that song till the phaser sound part. Thanks again.
I just listened to that song again, I have the feeling the new MXR Phase 95 on it's 45 setting would fit. OR the standard Phase 95, but with the script engaged. Having said that, the overdrive on that riff is equally as important, sounds to me as if they had a EQ set to almost radio freqencys (HP and LP). That's my best bet really. Have a good one, Mike!
AllaboutafriendONLINE Thanks a lot broh for yr. response, it was a very useful info as to make a decision about what kind of phaser to purshase. I'll take in account.
For all around versatility I loved the Phaser King! It had a natural sound and just seemed to make everything sound better when it was on. The MXR was cool but very effected/processed. The EHX's are great pedals for specific sounds, they can be either very subtle or crazy wobbly. The Mooer and Movall? sounded to me like they changed the tone too much and were a bit artificial.
The 2 phasers at the extremes are the most pronounced.. to My ears that is... ...but I have the the big black 1976 Maestro Phasor _(Balls/Speed)_ and that one puts all of these to shame..
Nice vid man. One recommendation: get rid of the drums. Can't hear the full tonal character of the pedals. That Phaser King is awesome! A ton of tonal variety. MXR sound best. Can't even hear that the Mooer is phasing--there is no audible sweep, no feedback at all. Not a fan. Winner for me is the Small Stone, followed by Phaser King.
Love the Neo Clone Chorus over these Jokers ! Had the original Small Stone in 70's had to deal with it thats all we had ...then came the Electric Mistress Wow . No Music Content with these JUNK !

Now turn them on all at once and hear the insanity.
...at different levels and rates....

Agreed, best phaser at an affordable price

Mooer is best bang for buck... Just ordered one from Andertons can't wait to try it out!
I really wanted to hear them on all at once
played mxr for years,then got a mooer,tried them side by side,sold the MXR, : )
Nice comparison. I kind of like them all in the vid, I guess it would be down to how well a particular unit works with one's rig.
1 MXR, 2 Mooer
Nothing sounds like the EHX its like it sucks your guitar into a black hole, great for slow sweeps!
Small stone has the best tone , l have a 1974 script logo. I have a feeling the ehx small stone would still win. The nano series seem to have smoother more sag & compression and less plastic stiff sound & feel.
good !! bad stone !! nice review! thanks bro God bless you!>
Got my small stone today, love the thing
Listened this and going to purchase the mooer right now
1 Bad stone, 2 Small stone.
thanks a lot! nice comparison and definetly influences my next buy
Thank you Tim!
Thank you for doing this. Not sure if this was already mentioned...THIS IS POST DISTORTION. Which is fine for exposing the the phase effect in a more pronounced way. Not if you are want to be subtle.
MXR is definitely the most pronounced.
MXR to blend into your tone, Phaser King if you want you phasing to stick out.
Hi from Chile, I have a doubt... which phaser would be better for Thru the eyes of ruby by Smashing Pumpkins...? Thanks in advance.
Hmm, is there any info what Billy Corgan used on that song?
Billy used an old school ehx bad stone
All sound great, but I came looking for a review of the King, I can get one really cheap, is it worth it? Thx
To be honest I don't think so. It's digital, has quite some noise IRL and doesn't sound too great all in all. Cheers, Mike
Thanks, I thought so, since it is really cheap. Cheers
AllaboutafriendONLINE but it says "analog phaser"
I love phasers
Would be nice to adjust the feedback and rates to parity on each for a real comparison.
Small Stone wins.
+Raul Mejia Hi! Yes, the Small Stone is a great phaser!!
The coolest phaser I've ever heard is the Bad Stone. Not in this video. Take a look at other videos or annoy me until I upload something on the topic.
so what do you think?
It really depends what kind of sound you like-the MXR style of phase or the EHX style of phase. If you like the MXR, you can't go wrong with the Mooer or the Phase 90 (or even better: the MXR EVH Phase 90, great pedal), if you like the EHX style of phaser, the Small Stone or it's wilder brother, the Bad Stone are great!

mxr almost always wins on these kinda shootouts. but the phaser king is not bad.
