the amount of chorus used in 80s music can only be described as excessive


And I say that the above is an understatement! ;)

Like Kilby, I love phaser's as well, tried an MXR Phase 90 and hated it, the sweep is quite narrow, where the sweep on a Small Stone is pretty wide. Sounds fantastic too.

I bought my Small Stone through Analogman. He makes some modifications so that there isn't a volume drop when it is switched on. He did the same thing to Memory Man pedal too.

As far as MXR are concerned, the current ones are made by Jim Dunlop and shouldn't really be badged as MXR. The build quality is supposed to be pretty poor, and they have everything mounted on the PCB unlike the original MXR's - obviously it makes it near impossible to repair if it goes wrong.

I've had 3 Dunlop MXR's, and they've all been rubbish. IMO o' course. ;)
