What are the effects, types of effects available?
A basic ultra Phaser ... For more info and demos - www.jimdunlop.com ...

What technology is used?
Pure analog. True Bypass (dark in your pedalboard is as if it did not exist)
Are they edited?
Via a single volume pot that adjusts the speed of the Phaser ... There is the MXR Phaser 100 for those who want more settings. The speed is well suited ... The only failure is a knob to "mix" to adjust the proportion of the effect that shipment. If it is not useful on a Disto, a modulating effect would be a little more interesting.
What is the connection?

In / out + PSU 9v

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple?
There is now only one volume pot and a switch ... not very complicated. That's what I'm looking for now. Very simple and quality. Tired of multi-effects laden settings. A choice. Those who hope to settle all the parameters of the effect, go your way.

Editing sounds and effects is easy?
Well you just hear the sound playing and turning the volume pot. More at small MXR always provided with a sort of "Foureau" that attaches to the knob, to adjust the effect to the foot (on a non-slip floor, or in a pedal-board)
The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Ya No!

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?

Ideal for funky rhythms, set between 10am and 12pm. beyond 12 it becomes bizarre but perfectly usable ... to look for and try ... it's "real time" there ... no menus to edit ... you can try while playing.
Which instruments do you use?
Takamine with a passive microphone in the soundhole ... The metallic sound of the acoustic p
+ Phaser gives superb results on funk rhythms, especially on the muted notes. Looove ...
Which ones do you prefer, you hate?

Must learn to master the sound of the phaser ... in agreement that we let it ring ... it's nice but it's just a wAowWAooowWAoooow ... + cons by playing rhythmic sound makes a very nice grain which is known for this pedal, besides ... Is ZE pedal of the 70's ...



OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
One night only

What thing do you like most/least about it?
The +: a typical sound that I love. The simplicity of the setting really helps to feel the effect of taming and playing with musical ... I chose this pedal for its unique setting. Less is more
The -: Missing just one "mix" effect ... we would sometimes hear a little less. It is true that the effect triggered adds a bit of "volume", this can be annoying ... But hey, a "mix" effect does not seem to exist on many pedals on the market ... J'piges not sure why ... A distortion, for example, there is no need to adjust the "mix" between sound and distorted sound "clear" ... adjusting the distortion more or less saturated the signal that enters. In the case of an effect of "modulation", as Phaser ... Ben is not the same ... we would like to have a proportion of its modulated.
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I had quite a few multi-effects with this famous effect "phaser" ... often or too complicated or too artificial

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Unbeatable ... € 88 ... Flee the Boss PH-3 Phase Shifter ... full settings ... and not at all true bypass ...
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
I persist and sign. I'm currently turning my multi-effects for me create an analog pedalboard ... I miss a Delay and Chorus ...

And then it's good MXR, super strong and super simple.
