Seriously great phaser. Hardwire pedals are a very good line of reasonable priced pedals of superior quality and tone. I got rid of my Small Stone and wanted an MXR type phase, this puppy did not disappoint, does anything you can imagine in a phase, deep, quality tone. The dynamic and envelop phaser need to be heard to be appreciated. Does any phaser tone in its versatile mode array from 2 stage up to 10 stage plus the cool envelop and dynamic phase which few phasers can offer. This is a great phaser, worth more than this price.

I was a little worried the digital platform could bring the level of phase depth and intensity I like. TC showed me digital has a lot to offer in new tech on their Chorus and Digitech Hardwire has created a killer phaser here. Just select a phaser stage level for the intensity and adjust the knobs to suit your needs. sounds much better than you are going to expect.

Simple mode select and knob fine tune. Put it where you like a phaser and find he mode that suits your desire for that position. I like mine end of amp in chain, sounded good in the loop but more intense after my ODs or tube high gain pedal. I have no doubt you could do the MXR thing in front of gains if you like. It is a highly versatile phase unit. I dig it!

If you have ever had any of the Hardwire pedals, you know htye are top shelf quality and a step above anything you might expect from digitech or what used to be a limited digital platform. The pedals are heavy and feel like quality, they step up the internal voltage level and their tone has always been more than I expected. I run the Reverb with my TC units and the phaser on my amp in chain and I ceased looking for a quality phaser, this is the puppy!

Amazing level of build, quality and tone for the bucks. I wager anyone you might try will not disappoint your needs or tone. Hardwire is perhaps the most underplayed and little known Digitech line in the arena. Great stuff, I ahve 2 and would not hesitate to get any other one if I needed a pedal slot filled.

I have spoken to Digitech in the past asking tech questions and their opinions on pedal chain issues, they were a nice bunch of guys and took the time to talk gear. Hardwire is the flagship of their fleet and the quality and build of these pedals are far better than what you might think or expect.

Once you hold one of these in your hand before you hook it up you get the feeling this is not a toy or an empty box of diodes. Serious good quality and tone while being ridiculously low priced.
