Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Mk3

This is a "Phaser" analog in sound effect that gives a "rotating" the best thing to a test, or to see on the net there is a lot of demos comprehensive.
It's all "analog" no editing possible ... we are in 7O '!
In terms of connectivity, and although Jack / Jack and Food there is no simpler! (Input / output and power supply)
Rackable? not, or if you are handy then ....
For all this I put 8 because it is mega easy to use and good quality.

UTILIZATION

Well, it's simplistic, one-hop industry and it works immediately!
No editing here, "dose" effect with large central knob "rate" a subtle! switch "color" which offers the possibility to assay its effect differs
I had no manual, I got mine used, but even new manual was not very useful! you branches, you run until you get good sound and presto!

SOUND QUALITY

What I like is the quality of the effect remains clean and warm regardless of his with which I use (light, crunch, distortion ...) it goes at ease and in no time the knob!
I use it mainly with my Start and other guitars (see my profile) when I change guitars I adjust with the big knob and hop off you go!
I love everything in it although it is slightly more "shy" as its namesake or a recent mxr, I also like the more Electro-Harmonix, when you put all the sounds you get max "space" of more nice effect (not always exploitable unless given in the experimental ....)

OVERALL OPINION

As mentioned earlier, what I like most is the quality of the effect, the small sounds more "space", its ease of utilistaion and the fact that it mixes well with other effects.
I tried other pedals (a lot of very good quality for that matter) but rather seeking a rock indeed, and goes everywhere typed I am not too satisfied.
It is no longer new, or so we are moving towards the recent model which is excellent in quality / price ratio, the model of 1979 is provided to find at a reasonable price a very good price / quality ratio !
I would do this choice without any hesitation ...

Analog Phaser
Same as previous versions: 1 IN, 1 OUT jack 6.35, alimenatation on 9V battery or adapter (mini jack)

UTILIZATION

No need to find el manu ... use it. You plug the device in the IN OUT spells you, you turn the knob for adjusting and was gone!

SOUND QUALITY

The effect is very efficient and clean! I use it with digital and analog synths.
I have all the U.S. versions of this pedal, they all sound so different (more or less "fat" or "clear", "acute", "meduim", "serious"). I think the Mk3 is a model "transition" perfect.

OVERALL OPINION

It is a model that I use for several weeks now. I had trouble finding this model in good cosmetic condition ... To believe that this model has been overused by their owners!
Today, this version is more than occasionally. Compare prices on the basis of their statements ... Some are selling for high prices in a state tired.
Otherwise, it must then move to the latest version which has an excellent value for money and does not sound quite the same ... But that's another review ...
