Value For Money : Excellent
"That says it all" as noted by Baudelaire at the beginning of his career ...

I will add just the traditional 9 volt power supply is what, I had a little flip, wondering if it was not a "reverse polarity" ... Not need an adapter.

And I like her very small size, which allowed me to fit between the multi-wah effect and, without repeating the entire pedalboard.

UTILIZATION

The config could not be simpler ...
Personally I added "points" (13 in all) for benchmarks for single knob "speed". We can remember precisely like that.

SOUND QUALITY

At the end I was pleasantly surprised by the position up to speed, because the sound is very usable (just the sound of keyboard "no quarter" to ledzeppelin, or "Group Four" Massive Attack or the spirit of the John Scoffield in "Hottentot") So these three examples show that this position can be used in arpeggios and solo (or boiled to make sound on a free end of the song ...)

For cons, the minimum speed, in my opinion, lack of presence, but I can not ask him much as a flanger ...

Second point which disappoints me a little is a good offense, especially in his clear, sound saturated with an attack too strong, so you have the volume down a bit of scratch to alleviate the problem. (My house is a Telecaster, not very accurate, very powerful and microphones ... perhaps for that.)
It's quite annoying for funky rhythm where it is not really matter to soften the attack, otherwise you lose all the efficiency of the thing.

I'm went to the dealer who told me that this is what gives the characteristic grain of Phase90, and because they can not.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one month, and I chose for the simplicity of the thing, the only speed knob is sufficient, as the presence is set to itself (and it does probably better than me) ...

For those who like an outlet for expression pedal, I can say I have no need, because if we add the sort of thing adaptable plastic knob on the original, it can handle more easy to walk without the risk of the fart, and it takes no more space on the pedalboard.

A choice to re surely. The value is excellent and is super versatile.
