I got my deluxe moon phaser two days ago. This pedal is very transparent and musical. I have to admit it took a little while to grow on me, but now I love it. At first I was dissapointed because I couldn't really dial in the stock tremolo or phase settings I was used to. I used to have a Small Stone, it made a cool very pronounced whoosh, but after a while I found the effect limited especially considering the real estate it took up on my board. The Red Witch has a lot of very subtle shades of phase tones, and sounds very lush in stereo (the second out is a phase inverted dry signal). The sounds are so transparent and musical that you could almost forget it's on, until you bypass it. I guess thats what was throwing me at first. I'm use to growing tired of the effected sound much more quickly (with a very few exceptions). You can get some fairly radical pitch shifted throbbing, almost like some Scofield tones. You can also get subtle but lush phasey swirls. I'm still somewhat confused on what the knobs excactly do, theoretically, especially the middle knob. Not what I expected but now one of my favorite pedals. Unreal for jazz comping.
