«  Very good phaser »

- What are the effects or types of effects available?
Phaser.

- What technology is used? (Analog, digital, tube ...)
Analog

- Are they edited? Via an editor Mac / PC?
Not

- What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
Jack / Adapter / Battery

- Is this a rack or rack-mount model?
Not

9 / 10: it's compact-pedal Boss, hard to beat. Missing a stereo output but it was not many in 1980 on this type of product.

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple?
Yes, child. Like all modulations, the potentiometer "resonance" that for the determination of feedback of the phaser.

- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
Yes.
The knobs are active throughout their race and that of the settings-simple "resonance" is more subtle, less obvious.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Bought without a manual

9 / 10: you can not use the simplest level

SOUND QUALITY

- Effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
A phaser that sounds very very warm. The resonance knob can really wipe out different sounds. It's creamy and it runs beautifully.
on the other hand, it does not get psychedelic sounds as PH3.
I find it interesting that in light saturated.

- Which instruments do you use?
LTD MH 400 + AMT SS-20 in the return of a Valbee

- Which ones you prefer, you hate?
In general, I set the depth and resonance to 1 to 11. And I only play on the rate depending on the context. This setting is perfect to my ear for sounds clear and saturated.

8 / 10: it is versatile, offers a wide range of sound but is very typical non-modern (if not "vintage"). And do not allow for phasing of the extreme (even if not necessarily the goal).

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
A few months ...

- What is so special that you like most and least?
Plus:
- The sound warm and versatile
- Setting "Resonance"

Minimum:
- The bypass a little color for my taste
- Does not get phasers "extreme".

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
The Boss PH3 which I found very complete but colder and with a bypass is much more "transparent".
Otherwise, I had a Digitech X-Series Hyperphase I found disappointing and puffed the whole dynamic of the signal.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
It is a little more expensive than PH2 market opportunity. But it's one of those gems modulation laid by Boss there twenty years.

- With experience, you do again this choice?.
Yes definitely ... Simplicity, efficiency, quality, really super phaser pedal.

9 / 10 because it is ultimately a phaser really that simple quality.
