All user reviews for the Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Nano

Characteristics have already been mentioned so I will not dwell

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple. One can regret all the little thin switch to change mode.
I had the Russian version which had a more imposing switch that could be activated by foot.

SOUND QUALITY

I had several phaser
Small stone Russian and American mk2 version even a deluxe moon phaser in redwitch (which m 'was a big disappointment for the price)

In short, if I compare this little pedal 60 euros I think she is really good.
THE problem of older versions was a loss of volume that I found really annoying.
Here it is not the case.
That being said I think the extremes in each mode are not convincing, this being I am using little extreme settings.
I must admit that the hottest position breath a little but it still is not a problem. If we geek on the breath we fix it.

OVERALL OPINION

I did that recently and not prejudge its strength
The point I want to emphasize is that for the price it is really good
The effect is beautiful and there is no volume loss found in older models.

everything has been said, positive points format, the power supply to the right place, 2 levels of phasing via a switch and not a rotocontacteur. A larger switch should be mounted if you want to change color at the foot!
pure analogique.J adore ...
however, few possible. settings anyway, a pedal that features 10 effects and 4 or 5 settings is generally used for 2 or max with a setting that will not move ever ... So, with the small stone avoids getting lost.

UTILIZATION

one speed knob and a switch for two different intensities of phasing. the speed is very well staged, with a slow cycle hyper hyper fast. The knob is fluid.
both colors are interesting by phasing you want to mark the effect or not.
I noticed a slight "plop" when engaging the pedal and a little more intense breath mode.
mix the dry and wet is done well, the depth is set, so the config is sufficient to have a nice sound.
I tested it in the effect loop of my amp.

SOUND QUALITY

the pedal is transparent liquid, the effect is warm and well rounded while preserving the characteristics of the sound of my strat. This is a super good point because I was afraid that the sound is drowned more than that, more blurred. Not at all! beautiful highs are present. it is quite vintage in mind (dug in the midrange frequencies before and beautiful sounds.
oscillation is pretty awesome, you really feel a ripple effect at slow speed, a kind of wooooooshhhhhhhhh ... It is also very smooth and goes after frequency.
a killing on in clean arpeggios and chords shelled (remember "breathe" by Pink Floyd), and extra on the funk / disco. Super made in two colors.
in distortion, however, I am less convinced but anyway, it's not really (at all) my style. Attention must be paid to the synthetic side of the result seriously playing the guitar or amp tone and placement of the pedal in the effects chain.

OVERALL OPINION

Addicted to the period 1966-1972, I love this effect clean sounds or just on the wire, and therefore EH actually offers an expressive effect not food guitar. Means a good strat or LP embellished with the effect and not the reverse.
the price is among the cheapest which is a real asset when you know those main competitor MXR. I put lmongtemps decide and I do not regret anything, especially bought it used, so at a reasonable price. QPR beat.
I think the MXR is more suited to their very distos mediums (some would say too much) and the present small stone facing more clear sounds. In any case, for the latter, it is a success and a nice surprise.

Analog

There are 2 scans and 1 speed: the effect is magical and very good except that it adds treble because the spectrum is broad
can play van halen, police, slow or fast solos pieces etc.

UTILIZATION

super easy

SOUND QUALITY

Great
it has nothing to do with all multi-effects
the sound quality is there
it is not a cold or compressed audio

OVERALL OPINION

so far, I thought it was my favorite phaser, but I just saw it adds volume to its ok
but also acute
and it can become garish where it was not!

then we like it or not like

the effect is magical, but it adds treble in scanning
and in Mxr?

Regarding the characteristic see previous posts. As usual at EHX pedal exudes strength.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, a child of 4 years to get out easily. A potentiometer for assaying the effect (spleen) and a switch (color) bar item which is certainly very valuable to live a phaser (not yet had the opportunity to test live) settings are simple and fast thereby to easily modify its effect without having to turn knobs 30. As supporter of plug-n-play it so please me plenty.

SOUND QUALITY

The effect is very pleasing to the ear, test it on a guitar and a bass (because I'm starting bassist), and it sounds perfectly suitable for both instruments, but I think to use the phaser at its best opportunities it will surely be better to use a bass amp for guitar or a cabinet that may well go down in the grave not to lose frequency in the "bottoming out" of the phaser. I also appreciate more the switch to "color" position on the guitar on the bass. The sound color is beautiful and very special to phaser (which have motivated me to buy it), I found the phaser other brands too cold.
Mixed with the bass big muff psychedelic side effect is even more pronounced.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it a few hours ago but I think it may well go the distance. I love its ease of use, for me it is perfect, it's exactly what I wanted.
I purchased a Bass Big Muff at EHX who loved me and I find the same satisfaction that I found buying this pedal: efficient, warm, strong, and cheap ... what more!
I recommend it to everyone: guitarists, bassists, keyboard or even and if ever (and I mean if ever) it fails or I will repair or I'll buy another of the same brand without hesitation or remorse.
Congratulations EHX! You again, I think, a loyal customer at home!

So it's a phaser analog in Electro-Harmonix. Here it is version nano (compact so much more convenient when you have lots of pedals) with connectors journals (more than mini-jack as in the old version but the possibility of supplying DC9V).

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the pedals could not be simpler with a single knob RATE (speed of effect), a two-position switch COLOR (which will Determines the color of sound, vintage or plutt plutt modern) and an activation switch true-bypass. The manual page is a useful but not rev any good we do not fawn.

SOUND QUALITY

I use the pedals with a guitar and a bass and I must say I am surprised by the enjoyable opportunity of the device. It is useful in all styles of music and despite the lack of available rglages, the sonic possibilities are impressive. With my group (or I am bassist), I use rgulirement for bass solos and a lot of compositions, o it provides a more sound (even the guitar pic to me .. ). With an upstream distortion can also get a wide range of sounds and make the effect aggressive.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the pedals for two weeks and I am absolutely delighted. I tried the MXR EVH phaser Signature before this one but I did not like it at all. What I like most is the fact that you can not do without it (anywhere I had to add all the time haha). For the moment I have not found major default in phaser (well, there is a little breath and lgre volume loss when it is enabled but it does not impede too ). The report is qualitprix trs good. I would do probably because this choice is that price for me is the best phaser you can find.

The Electro Harmonix Small Stone Nano is very small phaser from the Nano line. It is a very bare bones phaser with very few tweaks available. An input from your guitar, an output to your amplifier, a power jack , one rate knob, and a color switch that changes the frequency spectrum and hollows out the sound. It’s small in size (2” by 4.3” by 2.2”), so it takes up little of your pedal board . There is a red LED that lets you know when the pedal is engaged and the pedal can be powered by a 9 volt battery or by an additional power supply.

UTILIZATION

This pedal is built very strong and should handle plenty of road use. Metal enclosure and metal jacks, along with a sturdy stomp style switch all look very durable. There is one knob that allows you to change the rate, and I’m glad Electro Harmonix made this an oversized knob, because it allows you to make adjustments to the rate of the waveform on the fly with your foot. The color adjustment is available via a small flip switch and does change the overall sound of the pedal.

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal does suck a little high end off my tone and there is a slight drop in volume when used with my Marshall. The Small Stone has a sound of it’s own, so it sounds like a Small Stone should. A lot of people either prefer the Small Stone or the Phase 90 because they have different sounds, I suggest you try both out and see which fits your style best. Overall I feel the Phase 90 is a little brighter and cleaner with a more defined swoosh, and the Small Stone is a little darker pedal with a more low end swoosh. Adding the color switch does make this slightly more versatile, but I prefer the Phase 90. This pedal does have an issue with the bypass that I’ve noticed on a couple of my amps, it allows the modulation to seep through the pedal even when the pedal is bypassed. So even when the pedal is off, there is an underlying modulation sound going on, which makes the pedal useless for me.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall this isn’t a bad modulation pedal. It does do the dark swooshing sounds nicely, but it lacks in tweakability. If the added a knob to adjust the depth of the waveform I would find this pedal a lot more useful, but the rate knob alone doesn’t allow me to dial in what I need even if the overall tone from the pedal is nice. The bypass on this thing kills it for me, so I would point buyers in another direction. If the Phase 90 doesn’t do what you’re looking for I would still look for a pedal that has a few more features and a better bypass.

Electro harmonics nano small stone phaser pedal is very like the MXR petals. This one has a single control knob that just takes the effected phaser signal all the way up to pulsating signal. It's very simple design and extremely easy to use in overall it's a very cool pedal. The casing itself is right along the lines of the rest of the electro harmonics product lines. It's just a simple silver or gray box as a usually use on many other other products. You also get a small little switch that changes the voice on this box. You can play around with this switch to better color your tone to you amp, effect pedals, and instrument.

UTILIZATION

This is a very simple design as it only has a single control knob switch and a single color switch. This case itself is very small and fits pretty easily on any pedal board or rack unit. You don't really need a manual because it has one switch and one control an knob and any monkey could probably figure out how to use this devise.

SOUND QUALITY

If you like the tone of the original MXR phasers then you will like the sound of this effect. They don't sound that great in a clean setting but when you give it some distortion then it really get a very usable and cool sound. If you have ever listened to any early Van Halen album then you have probably heard a phaser in action. Of course it wasn't this particular model but the sound is the same. It i a cool pedal to have on your pedal board to use sparingly but not all the time.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall this is a very cool pedal to own and I think every guitar player should own one of these at some point . Whether that be this one of another the phaser pedal is very usable and very fun to play with. This pedal is a very good quality item and at the price new you can't really beat that. You can find them for right at around 480 which is an excellent price for this unit.

-Bought 80euros
Analog phase-
Making power-type boss (new standard at EHX)
True-bypass, does not color the signal when turned off (little noise at the beginning, disappears after 1 or 2 activation)
-Jack input and output
Nano-size
Speed ​​control, the wave frequency (rate) and switch color
-Metal box

UTILIZATION

Simple

SOUND QUALITY

-A reference
-On how the least weird knob so thoroughly saturated, it can be fun
It alternates between the high and low knob so early in the race on how the most colorful, more psyche
Globamement-very good for rhythm and arpeggios, I do not like too much with distortion but it must be possible
EDIT: c genial distortion in the jet effect, the sound is, I know, spacialisation!

OVERALL OPINION

-Excellent choice to repeat, compared with phasers zoom g2, connected to line input of a fender roc jet lag PRO1000 with matt 200
Tough-
-Not too expensive

Phase shifter (not really a phaser so), with an SETTING THE speed and slecteur for the type of curve (you need to understand the original design with it!) Is a steep curve trs and enough brand or a more smooth (but relative).

UTILIZATION

I use the last few years the original version, more massive, the plate holding the cell ended up bar for good. MODEL trs vintage since the bypass is not a true bypass (you can hear the rotation lgrement but in the off position. It is lightweight, but once the has caught the head is). The power of the original collection's outdoor is by making mini type jack (not practical in a string so fit) and the Casing is quite impressive. O In my purchase of the nano version with current connections (even in terms of sound, more buzz), a more convenient format pokey when you do not want a pedalboard 15m. Only problem (for ceusses size with no power supply 'in string): no traps for the battery, the base must dvisser (screwdriver and again!). So 9 / 10 (10 if the prs ...)

SOUND QUALITY

Quality sound absolutely identical the original, except that the bypass is effective (not for the battery not a true bypass either ...). If you do not see the arpge to shine on you crazy diamond (it is a small stone, and yeah!). Personally, with no adjustable effects loop on my amp, I branch upstream. Can be obtained by coupling effects hendrixiens with a wah (especially vox) APRS branch. Besides I find your exact ear warmer globally. I use it in plutt distortion and j'apprcie as little blast from the MODEL (I remember that I branch before the distortion, such as Flanger, fawn Van Halen / Hendrix). Flawless.

OVERALL OPINION

I would do without hsitation this choice, since it is my second small stone. A choice between the standard version and the current nano, my choice goes to the nano to the possibility of free will integrate adpateur my string, and the little space it takes.

What are the effects or types of effects available? Dj said below. What technology is used? (Analog, numrique, lamp ...) Analog 100% made ​​in NYC ditables Are they? Via an editor Mac / PC?

Analog phaser, the so-called light version of the Small Stone.

UTILIZATION

Simple, switch to change the color, the upper one is my favorite!

SOUND QUALITY

Food a bit of signal on my config, but it must be caught with a spacial distortion is!

OVERALL OPINION

Alas, bought used, and seemed in good condition, she dropped me after a few days, returned to the store, apparently an electric shock, I used a power supply, standard Ibanez new daisy chain with Wha wha and distortion, so nothing which suggests misuse.

I was refunded, and I will add some 20 euros to buy a new Small Stone USA!
These models do not look tough, and are not, to see attendont few years ...
