Phasers and tremolos - what's everyone using?

If you get stuck, I love my boss ph1-r. Probably the best phaser I've heard.

I also liked an old dod phaser, but not as much, and I have an ibanez cf7 which... I don't know if its a chorus, flange or phaser but it's sort of... Amazing. But awful. But amazing mostly. If you want to sound different, it's good.

For trem, I like the boss tr-2. I don't use trem much these days so I just use my zoom g5n. 

Is that the DOD FX20C? One of the thickest, lushest sounding phasers I've ever heard. Sounds incredible but it needs to be kept in small doses as it's quite overpowering.

Simple Boss TR-2 (one of the later ones with the volume cut sorted).

Completely agree with this. I used to have an Ibanez PH7 and it sounded great. Only got rid of it when I moved to an Eventide H9 but I could never get the phaser in the H9 to sound as good (to my ears) as the Ibanez.

Boss PN-2 Tremolo Pan... incredible choppy goodness in a lovely seafoam Boss enclosure

+1 on the Ibanez phasers. I have the PT-9, PH-7, PM-7 and BPL (Bi-Mode phaser) and rate all of them.

The ibanez PH7 is the best phaser ever!

I'm using the Walrus Lilian phaser and my Amp's tremolo (Hamstead 60+RT) as it's amazing, but I do like the look of the Walrus Monument, I've added it into my shopping basket on more than one occasion before questioing if I really need it. If I need a more obvious phaser, I've got the Tone City Summer Orange which is a nice effect for cheap.

I think so but can't remember... It was very heavy and thick.

How is the Lillian? Like what Walrus Audio are doing at the moment.

Fulton Supa-Trem is the best straight ahead tremolo I've used. I also had the flint and liked it, but never found a use for the harmonic trem, which was the main thing that sets it apart from other trems.

I've not found a phase that I like more than the MXR Custom Shop Phase 90. I only use Phasers for long tremolo picking slow filter sweeps, so I don't need lots of bells and whistles. Set it at a very low speed and leave it is my approach.

I’m currently without any Modulation or delay pedals, but after stumbling across a vintage MXR Distortion, I fancy a vintage Phase 45 now

Line 6 tap tremolo. I dont know another single stomp size pedal that has tap tempo. The tap tempo gets alot of use. 

Suhr Jack Rabbit. Nice trem with choice of waveforms and serves double duty as a clean boost on my board.

I confess I don't own one, but the TC Electronic Pipeline looks like a very versatile, competitively priced option...

Just got an Ibanez PH7 for £40 off eBay to give it a try.

Has anyone tried the TC Electronic Pipeline tremolo?

I love it. It's my perfect kind of phaser - no volume drop when engaged (level knob helps!), can do lovely slow phase to not-unpleasant wobble, with two usable different settings. Really nice pedal, and no need to change it unless it develops a fault. Reminds me of a much more pleasant take on the Boss Phasers.
