PHASER- VAHLBRUCH FX... 6-PHI-4 ... luxury old school ...very, very nice :-)

VAHLBRUCH 6-PHI-4 PHASER

$250.00 USD
This German company has been around along time and are all about an exquisite build and classic sound that rival the classics for tone but have zero old school problems with reliability, noise or frustrating artifacts and unwanted side effects.
The unit uses six matched vintage NOS 2N5952 transistors. 'The' bullet proof choice for tone.
You have a choice of a classic 4 stage voicing but also a usable and not overkill 6 stage. The layout has the usual speed and depth and a switch to chose your voicing. Another knob for the volume of the effect is really a welcomed feature.
CONCLUSION
The price is a bit' ouch'. If you use a Phaser a lot it is worth it as an antique MXR P90 will not ...and I seriously mean NOT be better and it will cost you lot more! 
That said if you only want a Phaser for a couple of tunes then I would and have gone straight to the MXR P95 mini. The Vahlbruch is the Ferrari but the P95 is a Corvette and no one trashes a Corvette. In short you get a totally pro sound $100.00 USD.
