All user reviews of 5/5 for the Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Mk4

There is not a twist, EHX is the very best! Completely analog phase shifter that is simply magique.la body is solid as any, and the switch.seul CHAC the battery is a little dlicat (you need a screwdriver) but in reality it is the last of our worries when the industry!

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple: a big knob, a mini switch (color) and a mega switch Started! There is a choice between two modes: COLOR: a phaser (a real) that will make all your digital pedals obsoletes.le sound is rich, full and adds that je ne sais quoi to your game (analog!) that makes immediately indispensable.
The other is a leslie simulator effect, and I'm not talking about some kind of chorus mode it sends you directly in the wake of Hendrix! Is the effect of years by 60-70 excellence.Que whether an agreement plaquun solo and whatever the method (distal or clear) the pedals puts everyone agrees: it's wonderful.
And now: the icing on the cake! The potentiometer is not as big and flat for nothing ....
You can set the rapidity of the effect FOOT! More useful in live (or forget when your drummer a bit on the tempo ..) we put the foot, ankle and once it's done they are strong ... these Rican ...

SOUND QUALITY

MAGIC-PSYCHEDELIC-unreal!

OVERALL OPINION

I tried many leslie simulator cabin, and none equal, except the Univibe Dunlop (Univibe but too expensive: 450 euros). The strength of the pedal torque its extreme sound quality, and design make it unique.Et then ... it's mouth, something like a in your set: this class!

- Analog Phaser
- Input / output, a footswitch on / off, a switch and a knob Color Rate

The same config and the same chorus Casing mtal a small clone of the same brand: RAS, super quality!

UTILIZATION

Trs trs simple to use: like a lot of EHX effects can even turn the knob with the edge of the foot given its size

SOUND QUALITY

Superb! a beautiful vintage phaser to his property becomes compltement psych when pushed to its limits: particulirement like this with a bit of distortion, I do not know if I'll make myself understood, but it brings ct a "voyellisant" the sound of a guitar

OVERALL OPINION

Really not a great PDAL CHRE trs (in fact it is seen even given the quality!) As well as the phasing ddies pedals are not lgion probably the best choice! EHX thank you!

Analog Phaser

New edition of the small stone 80s (EH4800).

An input / output

A power supply 9 volts battery or Jack 3.5

UTILIZATION

Nothing more simple:
Rgler a knob to the phase velocity and a switch to the "color".

SOUND QUALITY

Indeed devilishly effective! The phaser of references!

I use it on the ground JD800 (a cot gives them a "vintage") and other effects.

However lgre loss of her when the pedals are Inrush ...

OVERALL OPINION

Well I use it for a week ... but frankly it "sound" that I wanted.

The must is the "warm sound" that takes an analog color really.

If it's a phase that you are looking for is the product for you (the cot numriques phasers are cold, flat, inert ...)

Trs qualitprix good value, it's a small investment for the long term (that kind of stuff hard, hard ... hard ...)

See below but I have an original model of the 70s and another (military tank Sovtek version) 90 years

UTILIZATION

Yeah ... hyper-simple .... you turn the knobs and forward ...

SOUND QUALITY

This is the most awesome phaser I've ever used ... sounds hot .. a unique sound ... (I also owned a Boss super phaser that was nothing great with the rather banal one ....) I have two and I make small trips in stereo .... SUPERB! .. .
The only fault but is not really a ... is the slight drop in volume when it switches on but it avoids an unpleasant boost low frequencies and in the end, I find it very useful and I use this "default" ..

OVERALL OPINION

Well, I used one since 1978, it still works and I bought one in 90 years and is the phaser that I "boot" the most. A value at the top and I would do without this choice problem.
If I spend one day in quadraphonic, p'tête although I repeat two more ....

Nothing simpler, already explained and I will not rexpliqu m'tandre

there is still enough to make the mouth for entred PSU anyway, EHX sells its own power supplies at prices intolrables, c is really the only sour note.

UTILIZATION

No brainer, plug, turn, play

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is to go
It sounds vintage guitar without dnaturer
allows the switch to give more presence al effect, so it just sounds kind of play Van Halen.

J've used an MXR EVH Phase 90 and yet I prefer the small stoneje found the sound less "electronic" and vintage

note the position of "Xnoma" yeah you shoot EHX c is
but learns to connect your effects
j I use my small clone with a Big Muff distortion on AC 30 and I have no absolutely no loss of volume distortion ...
end well ...

OVERALL OPINION

All in all an excellent c pedals
the sound is irrprochable
the case is solid and compact lightweight and does not place a standard
this adapts to many styles

only regret at the taking of power supply, but that s not so bad, you just buy batteries

This is a phaser, I do not know how to explain what was done, but the Net is full of sound samples and vidos!

Analog pedals, like almost all the Electro Harmonix Small Stone that has existed since the dawn of time (unless it is the 1970s) and is, of APRS mark on TRS many recordings available.

Built in mtal, trs solid appearance, heavy enough not to walk at least kick and construction proved very simple and it suffers only from a painting trs s'caille fragile the slightest shock (no less serious view trs) and a non-diet standard mini-jack, which is much agaant. That said, not a mortal, you can also put the batteries.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple: a big button "rate" to select the speed of the effect, a switch to select an effect little or trs make and sail.

As a result, trs rglages are simple, just as amazingly varis!

Although there are sr phasers with many more buttons, but I confess I do not see too much intrt ... The only thing missing to me is the possibility to pass a portion of the signal "dry" (no effect) for a more discreet.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is superb. Trs natural, warm, vintage, unlike phasers numriques super cold, it is also trs transparent, and does not give the impression of playing an electronic gizmo, but a guitar whose sound is "renforcquot, for a purpose.

The sounds range from a possible effect trs discrete put some relief in the sound but not change it radically, up sounds more pronounced or carrment crazy with a fast rate trs ! So it's a pretty versatile pedals, especially since it is also clear that in his home in crunch or distortion. The only problem I see is the impossibility of having a more discreet with a fast rate rgl.

Finally, unlike some previous ones opinion, I have not seen a drop in volume when I turn it on! May be silent this the case on old MODELS?

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few days, but do not shekels to go around, was still just a phaser, even if trs versatile!

I had tried before that phasers numriques, cold and trs pervasive, and it has nothing to do. In rjouissante simplicity of use, it offers a warm, natural and versatile, allowing both to add a little relief to her than to engage in DLIR funky or noisy!

In résumé: perfect!

This is a phase effect made by one of my favorite companies, Electro-Harmonix. It's an analog pedal that has been around for decades. It doesn't have any Mac/PC capabilities, and isn't MIDI-controlled or rackable.

UTILIZATION

The editing on this pedal couldn't be simpler. There's the basic 1/4" in and out. There's a knob that allows you to change the rate of phase shift. There's also a switch that changes between two color modes, which each have their own unique properties.

SOUND QUALITY

I like using this with my old-school setup, my Strat and Fender Twin. I like this phase because it has a classic vibe that I've heard in later Zeppelin and Floyd songs. These are some of the only records, along with a few other from their era, that actually have a phaser sound that isn't cheesy to my ears. This pedal has true bypass, so when it's off, it doesn't color your sound at all. It gives it a sound that will give your amp a color that isn't typical in phasers nowadays. It's a lot warmer and less "futuristic" sounding than you'd expect. It also doesn't make the sound "muddy" at all, which is what I hate in most phaser/chorus/flanger type effects. It's a bit more drastic than the phase 90, yet still doesn't go over the top. I've been able to emulate so many classic tones with it that I can't even count them all. Sometimes when cranked, it produces a little too much ambient noise for my taste, but this is easily avoided.

OVERALL OPINION

I like the fact that this pedal isn't particularly expensive (around $75 usually). I think that for that price, it's not a bad deal at all. I sometimes would prefer this to my usual go-to, the phase 90, when recording guitars (the Phase 90 is better all-around). The warmth and range you get with this can really be inspiring. I would be tempted to use this often, especially since it reminds me so much of Jimmy Page. I'm sure many people would find plenty to like in this pedal.

Old-school phaser... Analog, solid-state pedal.

The PSU connection could be a problem... But if you wanted to get creative you would go buy a PSU with 1/8" plug and you wouldn't have a problem.

UTILIZATION

Very easy setting... Just plug in and you already get the right sound character... Don't complicate yourself! There's one knob to control the effect's speed and one switch to select between phaser and shifter, and it's more than enough!!!

No need for a user's manual.

You can easily set the rate, and switch between phaser/shifter with your foot. The setting won't match your drummer's beat perfectly but that's not necessary for a phaser effect anyway (it's not a delay).

People that say foot setting is impossible with this pedal should tell me how they manage with the Boss and its four tiny controls.

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal is a real vintage phaser, not a gizmo that requires 30 years of use to produce the sound you want, or a toy with 36 useless controls.

It sounds good right away. The secret to get more or less effect is the speed control.

Some people might say they want a very fast effect with a low mix but that's nonsense because high-speed phaser is always clearly audible.

The unit produces a warm sound and THERE IS NO VOLUME LOSS on the contrary to what a person here wrote (check the condition of your gear before writing a review... especially when 95% of the users say the opposite of what you think).

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for a couple of days and it produces exactly the sound I was looking for.

This effect sounds vintage and doesn't alter the guitar's tone.

I tried out the Boss but it has no vintage character even though it tries really hard. I also tested the Fender which also has a very comprehensive foot control but it doesn't sound like I want. I tried out the Maxon (copy of the '74 MXR Phase90) but you don't have the option to choose between phaser and shifter. I tested the EHX WORM but the pedal's function is different (Auto wah, tremolo, etc.)...

I would buy it again a dozen times because it's exactly what I was looking for. If I hadn't tested it I would have bought the Maxon Rotary Phaser. It's not the same price and in the end I found exactly what I was looking for with the Small Stone.
