I bought mine for $25 locally because I had a PH-2 at the time and I wanted to compare them. As soon as I plugged it in, I knew my phaser search was over.

Man the Mesa Mk V is incredible, no need for any drive pedals anymore! The Egnater is spectacular too, but has now been moved to backup duty until I get a cab for it. The Shape EQ and the Scarab Deluxe are coming off the board, probably going to throw on a phaser and maybe an analog delay. Dunno for sure yet...

Same here. I had a PH-2 before my PH-1r. I found the 2 was way to over the top for me. The 1r feels more smooth

Wow, you've really downsized the board!

This looks great. And has to sound great too !

I would swap the Mesa controller to a midi controller with pedals in loops, but it's just me...

The Nord 70 is the top Fetto on my list I think cuz of the raunchy, loose midrange. How's the Fitzo sound? I just got a Les Lius for some tweed tones (PGS discount!), I haven't tried it yet but I hope it sounds good into my Divided By 13.
The Fitzo is an enigma. Some days I love it, others I wonder if I really need it. Matters how Im playing/feeling I guess. It does wonders for clean tones and light break up. Booster into it sounds AMAZING, just straight up Marshall goodness. I do still hear a slight compression in it though.

I notice it smoothes out fuzzes, or rather rounds it off like an EQ or maybe compressor. That becomes less apparent when turning the drive down and vol up. If thats your thing, great, but for me I like wide open fuzz and using my hands to control it, so Ill switch it off for some things in that vein. Mostly it stays on. Still figuring it out though For the price??? I dont regret buying it, but I think most people will scratch their heads at it. Its pretty darned expensive, but I seen one on the emp today for $310! Great price. Sorry you didnt like it ES330.

Cheers!

I have been playing for less than a year so I am just starting my pedal collection. I installed koa flooring in my house and had me left so I figured it would be cool to build a pedal board from koa flooring.

It's a little messy right now, but it's getting the point across. I'm actually running the phasor, chorus, tremolo and both delays through my VHT's effects loop, and then running the wah and Tube Driver in the front of the amp. Works best that way. The exception is that the Tube Driver isn't working correctly and I will be replacing that with a custom 808 made by Dave Wireman.

One of my 3 favorite boards I have put together because it's a mix or vintage and modern tones, all fairly authentic in their own way.

That's funny both of you say that because I also had a PH-2 before my PH-1r, the 1 is much more of a vintage phaser which I like, the 2 is definitely more modern and over the top, it cops the Incubus/Godsmack type phasing, there are some cool sounds in it but the 1 is a lot better.
