Decided to buy this because it was more tweakable than the Small Stone. I heard the Small Stone nano has the best phaser sound, and it's very compact for your pedal board, but after checking out demo vids of this it won out for it's far superior customizability (is that a word?) This pedal can get the older phase tones (set it to 4 or 8) through the years of phaser development up to a really thick phase (10 or 12). It's also got this really sick rise and fall feature. I have been messing around with this a lot (I use this for my saxophone, not guitar) and I've been getting some really sick sounds out of it. I don't even feel like I"m halfway into it yet. Great pedal!
Okay, I am an old school rocker who used vintage equipment when it was "state of the art". I loved my analog Maestro Phase Shifter that had 3 on-off switches, but after 40 some odd years, it was no longer useable. So I looked for a replacement of that great 70's/80's sound. I read lots of reviews and decided on this BOSS-PH3 Phase Shifter. It certainly works well, and has a myriad of adjustment variables, but as such, it takes a lot to adjust it to where I get the amount of phase that I want. Using it live with the unit on the floor, as it is meant to be used, it is impossible to make changes to the phase between songs, so that is where I find it has its biggest limitation. However, if you are going to use only one phase setting for everything, this is perfect for you.

This pedal offers a wide range of great phase shifter sounds from very subtle to in-your-face jet swooshes to arpeggiator type stutters. I originally bought this as a back up but I decided to put it on my pedal board instead of a boutique phase shifter that I also bought.

I an torn on this pedal. There are pros and cons as there are with many things. On the positive side, there are seemingly infinite tones that can be achieved with this pedal. It can adjusted to give a great approximation of a vintage Phase 90 all the way to tones I have never heard before. It sounds great and offers so many different options that settling on one that you like the most is the most difficult part. On the negative side, and the reason I only give this pedal 3 stars, is the switching on/off of the effect. Perhaps I recieved a bad unit, but whenever I switched the unit on/off, there was a momentary muting of the guitar tone. The switching was not seemless. Said another way, the effect would momentarily mute my toone and then the effect would be present of momentarily mute and I would have my clean tone back. Now, if you are going to leave the effect on for an entire song, this is not a deal breaker but if you plan to switch the effect on/off while playing, the muting is very noticable and distracting. All that said, the tonal options are staggering. Perhaps mine was a bad unit. I would recommend trying this pedal out before you buy one.Read full review
I was kind of skeptical about buying this seeing that my band only plays country and southern rock. Glad I went ahead and purchased though. Sounds awesome! The "step" mode is something that really got my attention. Set the rate down and it sounds like 5 guitars are playing in the background haha. I also was amazed at how many different modes it has. Overall a great pedal and is pretty versatile. Just have to mess around with settings and you'll find something to fit the genre of music you're playing.
This is a great phaser pedal. it has so many modes, 4-stage, 8 stage, 10 stage, 12 stage, fall, rise and step. But i like the 4 stage, 10 stage, and step the most. the rest are nice additional features to me. There is a slight volume drop in the 4 stage mode but hardly noticeable. the controls are also very usable. With rate, depth, and resonance you have a lot of options with your phase sounds.
Several modes, sturdy construction, what else can I say? If it had an output volume to achieve unity gain, or even a boost, when engaged, it'd be perfect.

If you're looking for a phase pedal which can cover a lot the ground and you do not want to blow up your budget look no further because the Boss PH-3 covers it all. The simple straight ahead controls make this an easy choice for a plug and play modulation effect helping to avoid the cost or complexity of an advanced multi effects unit or over the top modulation pedal. For me I have both embraced the idea of multiple effect processor and stomp boxes and Boss makes some of the best. The cost, durability, quality, and history always have given Boss the edge any time I am on the hunt for new pedal. This phase pedal is a keeper and one to add to the the list of possibilities.

It has a Variety of sound compared to my MXR phase 90. I really like the rise and fall modes. You Purchase BOSS with confidence in knowing you can’t go wrong with any boss pedal. Boss is best. I have a couple of boss pedals that I’ve had over 30 years and they still perform excellent.

Great pedal. Tap tempo. Takes 9volt battery or power supply cables. I got this item for the “step filter” mode. Listen to the solo on “throw away your television” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and that’s the only reason I even bought this pedal. Very easy to use. Worth the money by a reliable company.
