got any good suggestions. really need a good one for the summertime. also if any gearheads know how to tweak these things, speak up!! i love the ghetto phaser sounds, and of course hate the late 80's types of sounds. thanks in advance to any one who responds!!

    Ibanez maded a great one in the early 80's, it's called the PT-9 or something like that, it has a red metal case. DON"T BUY THE PLASTIC JOINTS!



    The MXR phase 90 is another classic, it's what you hear on all the early Van Halen records.

    electro-harmonix has two killers...the badstone and the small stone..thick and creamy. I dont know if they were part of the electro harmonix/sovtec reissue series, but you should be able to find a used vintage one for less than a hundred.

    Bi-Phaze or Small Stone.
    Both will kick your ass.

    The new EH Tremelo is quite possibly the best Vibrato/Tremelo and can be had for very cheap. Great for making anything sound like portishead.

    cosign. I have the "fuzz-probe" and the shit makes SO MANY dope sounds, not only is the fuzz tone on it unfuckwitable, I found a setting that when you play a high note, the note will decay by randomly cycling through four different octaves of the note....I have had it for a couple years now and I am still finding new shit it can do..best pedals on the market IMO

    i just bought this tape-echo for 150$! and i think im gonna get some pedal next.


    what wahwah pedals do you guys recommend? is that zvex probe wah any good? it looked interesting!

    and how much does the mu-tron bi-phase usually go for?

    the fulltone clyde wah looks pretty sick.. multiple version of it.

    i've just got a plain old crybaby that i've had since i was about 17... tweaked it numerous times over the years..

    He custom makes all of his pedals. Somewhat pricey, but then again some of you can effort these things. Loads of video samples as well.
