MXR M279 Deep Phase Effects Pedal Orange

A phaser was my first pedal when I was a kid playing guitar and growing up in the 80's. But, in today's tight pedalboard real estate, sadly the phaser dropped off for a few years. I ended up using a Line 6 M5 for several modulation effects and recently an HX Stomp. They do a fine job, but when I saw the YouTube video for the Deep Phase, I thought that I could squeeze it in. I tried it out and not only did it's compact size fit in, it sounds great! Keeping the Feedback knob all the way down, it really sounds and responds like a Phase 90, but turning it clockwise adds a ton of versatile sounds to what is already practically perfect. The mode button doubles the stages of phasing and thickens the tone even more. This can cover anything from classic rock to funk to metal or to just animate a clean sound to give it some breadth. I'm using it with a daisy chain power supply and it has very little noise. No complaints about this orange box. I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of this little guy. The metal case is slightly narrower than the TC mini pedals, but the power jack is on the top so a little taller with that plugged in. The jacks are staggered so if you have other mini pedals you can put em really close together. After one jam session I already put a strip of velcro on knowing that its going to stay on my pedalboard. My next venture will be to try it out on bass. I'll let you know.
