OVERDRIVE- BEHRINGER VP-1 Vintage Phaser ... a Small Stone for a small price?

BEHRINGER VP-1 VINTAGE PHASER

$35.00 USD

In 1974 David Cockrtall who designed pedals came up with a way to use operational
transduction amplifiers to design a Phaser. It was a very clever idea that allowed him to create a simple 4 pole design that was so rich sounding it rivalled the MXR 6 pole Phase 90. 
Behringer has a 'serious' Synth wing of the company who have a very high reputation of recreating vintage no compromise synths were interested in adding accessories to their recreated, Moogs and other classics in their line. So from the get go do not connect these to the $20 plastic boxes. The only thing the same is the parent companies name. 

CONCLUSION
They did indeed pull it off. The cool thing is it has its own thing going on. Even, if like me, you have an MXR. It different enough to have both. 
Add to that you don't have to cough up as much as $500 for a used '74 E-H.
