Second Guessing Phaser Choice - please help
I was set to order a Red Witch Moon deluxe tomorrow. After reading about the Quantum and Psilocybe I'm really torn. Any advice would be appreciated. I play more classic rock/blues than anything else.

Red Witch > Psilocybe. The Psilocybe is a little "chewier," but the rate topped out before before it got really fast. Haven't tried the Quantum - do you mean the Quasar?

I own the Red Witch Deluxe Moon Phaser now, and it's the best phaser I've ever had.

I've had the Psilocybe, Retro Sonic, Diamond, Script Phase 90, Earthquaker, etc... and nothing sounded as nice as this phaser does.

I'd look into the Mad Professor Tiny Orange Phaser as well; that's the best one I've played so far, I think.

The red Witch Moon Phaser is hands down one of the best phasers out right now. I own about 7 phasers and if I had to get rid of all but 1, the Red Witch would be the one I would keep. No hesitation. And I love all my other phasers.

I recently got a moogerfooger 12 stage phaser used and it's amazing, unlike any phaser I've ever had before.
The other one I'm interested in is the Moon phase analogue phase shifter (not the Red witch), it's supposed to be based on the old Maestro.

I've got the Deluxe Moon and I have absolutely zero desire to ever try anything else. I didn't hesitate to mark my favorite settings in permanent marker cause I know it'll never leave my board. It's a truly elegant sounding phaser and does a nice roto thing at higher speeds.

Moogerfooger looks cool - just takes up too much real estate. Guess I'll take the plunge on the Red Witch - anyone deal with soundscheapinc on ebay?

Good choice - the Red Witch is fantastic. I bought an amplifier from Soundscheapinc at a ridiculous discount - it arrived as described and on-time. I'd certainly buy from them again.

I've gone thru ALOT of phasors, and by far the best of them was the Shannon phasor.
Since Shannon isn't making them anymore, the Red Witch is at the top of my list.

I don't know if Red Witch has the option or not anymore, but get the LED !!

The Red Witch has been on the board since... '04 I think. Fantastic phaser with this amazing, shimmery and sparkly quality. Love using it as a faux vibe actually!
And I've owned the Psilocybe ... you made the right choice going with the Red Witch.
