bad stone The Bad Stone stepped things up a couple notches with the addition of Feedback and Manual Shift knobs, allowing for greater overall control of the phase tone. Whereas the Small Stone is a four-stage phaser, the Bad Stone is a six-stage phaser. The Manual Shift function lets you freeze the phase tone, adding another dimension of sound of which the simpler Small Stone is not capable. A toggle switch lets you choose between standard phasing and manual modes, giving you the best of both worlds. Like the Small Stone, the Bad Stone is available in Nano form, so you can have the glory of the Bad Stone on your board without taking up too much space or spending much money. Even if you have another phaser, the Bad Stone is worth checking out just for the Manual Shift mode, as it offers some unique sounds you won’t be able to fi nd anywhere else. “Like the Small Stone, the Bad Stone is available in Nano form, so you can have the glory of the Bad Stone on your board without taking up too much space or spending much money.” 26 TONE TALK // Perfect Th e Many Pedal Phasers Pairs: of 3 Electro-Harmonix Killer Stompbox Combos Part II
