Bought this pedal as a my first introduction to phaser effects without great expectations considering the price. However, it sounds pretty, pretty good, its simple to use with just one knob and I particularly like how the sound is not intrusive. With other phaser pedals the effect becomes just overbearing above the dry signal but with the HB you can dial as much as you want without it ever becoming too much. I also found that it sounds better before the overdrive/ distortion source in the chain. In summary, recommended.
