Never felt inclined to investigate that one, until I saw that it can do 17-second cycles. Now I want to hear one with synth pads.

i'm curious to hear that. seems like that'd be hard to distinguish from flanging.

I guess that's somewhat subjective. I have some slow phasers (Whetstone & Faye's Her). When you've got cycles that take >10 seconds, it can sound more like a filter pedal, rather than what you might associate with a phaser or flanger. I can't recall hearing a flanger that could handle really prolonged sweeps. (slow, moreso than slowly-evolving) If you had a downtempo recording playing at half-speed, maybe you could do a rather slow vintage-style flangescape using a reel-to-reel machine. To my ears, my phasers with long cycling times just sound like ultra-slow phasers, not like a recognizable flanger sound (jet whoosh or manipulated tape).

Estate sale find. This thing kicks ass, more than I ever would've imagined.

Is anyone else going to grab one of these? I want to know how the Moonbeam handles pads/Krautrock sweeps, but I doubt I'll get to hear that, before trying that for myself.

It is interesting… but there were a lot of sounds I didn’t dig…. Which for a phaser is actually very impressive.

it wouldn’t be DbA if it didn’t have some sounds you or most sensible people wouldn’t abhor.

I’ve only owned one of their pedals… it was a one off bass version of their overdrive.. I bought it from Ron from Bongripper… and about the time I was bored with it he asked to buy it back
