The Electro-Harmonix Small Stone is the classic 1970s analog phaser that EHX pioneered, known for a deep, rich, warm phasing sound with lots of clarity and an emphasis on a lower-mid swoosh. Built on OTA chips rather than the FET circuitry of some rivals, it uses a single Rate knob plus a Color switch that adds extra feedback and resonance. With Color engaged the phasing is deeper and stronger with a more pronounced, vowel-like wow as the rate climbs past noon, reaching a classic underwater swirl at full speed. Compared to an MXR Phase 90 it is more gentle and dreamy with a greater speed range and a warmth often missing from other phasers, giving it a musical quality all its own. It suits funk, classic rock, psychedelic, and experimental players wanting lush, characterful vintage phasing, though some versions exhibit an audible volume drop.
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.
