Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.55% — moderately similar

The Electro-Harmonix Bad Stone is a classic analog phase shifter first introduced in 1975, notable as one of the first phasers to incorporate a feedback control into its circuit for a more resonant, intense sweep. It offers a six stage phase shift with rate control and a manual mode that lets you set and hold the phase position by hand rather than using the LFO. Its voice ranges from subtle, watery movement to deep, swirling, resonant phasing with a vintage, organic character. It suits classic rock, funk, psychedelic and experimental players who want a warm, characterful vintage phaser with the unusual flexibility of manual phase control and feedback enhanced resonance.
The JHS 3 Series Phaser is a six-stage phaser pedal from JHS Pedals' budget-friendly 3 Series line, priced at $99. Three controls — Blend, Rate, and Width — shape the phase sweep, while a Feedback toggle switch adds resonance to the phasing for contemporary or more dramatic sounds. Inspired by the golden age of 1970s phaser pedals, it produces warm, organic phasing from subtle shimmer to pronounced vintage sweep. True bypass.
