Strengths
- Deep, resonant phase sweep with a distinct 'color' switch for two feedback voicings
- Single-knob speed control keeps it simple to use live
- Thicker, more resonant sweep than the MXR Phase 90 for players wanting a bolder effect
Trade-offs
- Only one control besides the color switch, limiting fine-tuning versus multi-stage phasers
- Various circuit revisions across production years sound noticeably different
