So just so you know. The Halophaze is 1-10 hertz. I'm not smart enough to make sense of that in seconds. I'm sorry. LOL

Just timed the Infanem Compact Faye Sing B on the 8 step mode with the rate switch and knob as low as they'd go and I got around a 90-93 second sweep (it was hard to know when the bottom of the sweep was). The thing is when I turned the knob like 1/6th of a turn faster, it went down to like 45-50 seconds (I think). I will say this about it, I think the speed control kind of circumvents the stages a bit making it somewhat "stepped" like "Oh, hey, thanks for stepping up to the next stage, I forgot a phaser was on" and then it kind of sits there for a bit. Also, at the bottom end, it is pretty much inaudible after a certain point. It's not bad, just something to note. I think the MF one with 12 stages would help with the resolution on long sweeps. It's a neat little piece for it's size and amount of options in it.

The thing is needs power over 100ma too (i forgot for a second and was like, "this thing sounds like shit"). On the other speed end, it gets whiny and ring-mod like.

Not as wide a range as on the Compact Faye Sing B:

OSC. SPEED RANGE-
LOW: Sweeps from 90+ seconds (0.01 Hz) to approximately 1 second (1 Hz). Slow atmospheric range.
HIGH: Sweeps from about 5 seconds (0.2 Hz) to 0.07 seconds (14 Hz). Conventional phase range.
RING: Sweeps from 10 Hz to over 900 Hz. Pseudo-ring mod. - Because of the limitations of optical phasing, modulation depth reduces at higher speeds in RING.

Thanks for checking that, lordgalvar. That knob seems pretty sensitive. (TWSS)

Ha! No problem. Let me know if you need any more information about/from one of these out in the wild.

Sorry that was the LFO speed. Hmmm...here's some more info

The ramp makes this pedal crazy.

Alright, from what I can tell from that pdf is that the LFO is the actual max or low limit sweep of the phaser. The ramp changes the LFO speed based on what you've set, like turning the LFO knob while you are playing. It is a neat design (and I think far more interesting), but it doesn't nearly go as slow as the CFSB. The ramp gives the LFO some movement so that it feels a bit more alive than the simple, regular LFO sweep.

It's actually really neat, but with the cv-in on the moog and CFSB, you could kind of replicate it (with like a broadcast or something) but I doubt it would be as "glitchless" as the pdf says (but maybe so).

And it's way out of my range...haha. Oh, and demo it if you haven't!

So the Infanem site says the fayes her can get 100 sec in length sweeps!

Yeah, but the Halophaze has a setting called "Phase Yoing".

hahaha! I'm going to have to try that one! What the fuck does that shit mean? LOL

OK, so, this's what I'm gathering:

Toneczar - $375 (If I can wait it out or find one.)
Effectrode - $529 (If I can find one.)
Infanem - Faye Sing B - $255 (If I can find one.)
Faye's Her - $??? (If I can find one.)
SolidGoldFX Apollo - $250

What else?

Chase Bliss Wombtone?

Moog MF103 says it goes down to 0.01hz which would be equivilent of the Faye Sing (but it doesn't nearly get as fast). - $300

Oh, yeah, forgot the Moog, thanks.

I recall the Earthquaker Grand Orbiter getting pretty slow, but I don't own one to verify.

You can ask the guy to build you one or build it yourself
