Boss PH-3 Phase Shifter Pedal Demonstration (Part Four): '12-Stage' Mode

[Limitless77]

what is that riff from? Is it in a song or just something you put together yourself?

Could you send me the tabs?

[craigmcarthur1]

Is from one of my bands tunes called Airport Syndrome, you can download it from itunes. I dont have tabs. Its relatively simple to play tho

[therookie93]

sounds like the beginning of a Sabbath song. Eminor?

[craigmcarthur1]

G# minor

[Dlogreen]

@therookie93 relative of E correct?

[HitmanJenkins1]

@Dlogreen if it's G# minor, it's relative major would be B Major

[Dlogreen]

Oops, yeah....I dunno what I was thinking. Trying to kill time....I better brush up on my theory. Wow that's sad.....shame on me.

[itsmark123]

You need more pedals.

[Dagrwolfrokrokr9]

nice les paul dude

[dalisnightmare]

hey...i've been watching a lot of ur videos and i like ur clean tones...their are very crystal-like...i've been trying to reach that tone...i play a gibson les paul studio through a bunch of pedals(i have a lot of the pedals you use) into a marshall mg100dfx...i run all my mod pedals through de fx loop...but i still can't reach that glassy tone...i read in some comment you made that you have ur guitars modded...is this the thing?..is it the amp?..what do you think?..can u help me please?..thnx

[craigmcarthur1]

Almost certain it will be your amp. I am not a huge fan of the Marshall MG range I'm afraid. A rehearsal studio we used to use had such amps as their backline and I was not impressed. The majority of my videos now I use my Hiwatt for cleans. Although I do get a very rich and bell like clean tone from my practice amp (Line 6 Flextone II). I tend to very much prefer my tube maps when it comes to clean, but the line 6 is better than most SS amps IMO. Try another amp to rule this out

[slip666knot6666]

thanks for doing these videos. i have only 4 pedals and your videos show me really if i want to buy more lol.

[DJchuffbucket]

This is in drop d id'nit?

[craigmcarthur1]

Nop afraid not dude. Standard tuning on this tune

[DJchuffbucket]

WOw....I really tried figuring out the tabs.

I kinda got close using E-minor....

[ScapeGoatMusic]

i know this will be a small question expecting a BIG answer but whats your "standered" rig set up like for shows tours etc. like what u usually use.

[craigmcarthur1]

Did I ever reply to this dude? Not sure, I hav sent u an email explaining anyways cheers

[MrChampion]

Now that he brought it up, I'm also quite curious to what you use live. If its not too much to ask could you send me a copy of the email?

[craigmcarthur1]

No probs dude, I have sent u an email of my rig.

[mhd9890]

Dude is this pedal really really flexible to get almost ANY phasing sound?

[andycostellomusic]

will you send me your current rig as well?

thanks

[JByrne01]

whats the chords for that song you are playing?

[BigJD19]

this is my kind of shit dude. keep it up!

[amarr1]

is that pedal thats not plugged into anything the ml-2?

[craigmcarthur1]

Na its some old compressor that pedal.  I have a ton of other pedals that aint in this vid. I have a Keeley modified MT-2.

[craigmcarthur1]

Which is similar to the ML-2 but much better

[ggoerl]

I was gonna say myself have enough pedals haha, whats that green pedal thing next to the ph3?

[craigmcarthur1]

The Green pedal nxt to the PH-3 is a Line 6 DL4 Delay modeller, cool pedal. I have posted a few demo vids of that.

[onlynicc16]

wow got enough pedals there buddy? lol

[craigmcarthur1]

Lol, there r all used, and that isnt all of them!! I play in a heavy rock/metal/prog/ambient band so need ALOT of tones!

[onlynicc16]

daymn ! ! ! nice set up though.

[floydaholic731]

hey man great vid. one question. i traded in my small stone for a ph-3. i play stuff like floyd zepp and incubus stuff. can i get those sounds out of this or the small stone better.

[craigmcarthur1]

I would say the PH-3 dude. More options than the small stone. For floyd type tones turn it to the 4 stage setting, put the res the to about 11 o'clock, the depth up quite high (depends on your amp) and the res down quite low. Should get that Breathe type tone. Incubus wise he uses a whole load of phaser tones so need to mess about urself!

[warpigs020]

Sweet vid. Thanks for posting it.

[ElementalityPunk]

i know its probly a stupid question but how would this go with the boss-mt2 or would they kill each other lol

[craigmcarthur1]

Might sound cool, granted you hook them up in the correct manner. Ill email u a link to a vid of me using PH-3 + MT-2

[SlashPwnage]

I saw you had a Gt-6 awesome, I have one too. Do you leave it on and run your other pedals through the external, or how do you connect them?

[craigmcarthur1]

When playing at home its just connected in daisy chain with other modulation type effects to the effects loop of my practice amp which is a Line 6 Flextone II. In my live rig I it is connected to my Gig Rig Pr0 14 which turns it on and off from the loop. I havent used the GT6 as a controller b4!

[Snowblind333]

what would you say is better, the MXR Phase 90 or the Boss PH-3 Phase Shifter

[craigmcarthur1]

Tough one! Depends what sorta sound ur after, the Phase 90 is a very specific phaser sound dude, which is awesome but the PH-3 is more versatile as it hads more variables. I bought the PH-3 as I require a few different phaser tones.

[rebelgamer94]

sry man i meant gear hehehehehe

[rebelgamer94]

dude u really hav some nice man that is very kool man

[redhotchilipepers67]

awesome efect

[Nuggiestein]

Dude, what are you playing? It sounds awesome:D

I'm thinking of buying the Phase shifter, is it hard to make it sound good?

[craigmcarthur1]

The song i am playing is called 'Airport Syndrome' by my band Vinyl Future. Na the the PH-3 is easy enought o get decent tones form, quite versatile in comparison to other phasers on the market.

[guitarman069]

dude..the Boss PH-3 has a built in shaver;)

[craigmcarthur1]

Ha ha, yeh I had a bit of beard when i done this video!!

[slumbarian]

ei man,just saw your myspace and it shows there that you don't have a bass player,why is that?

[craigmcarthur1]

We had a bass player, but he recently left as he had other commitments, we r looking to fill the position ASAP!

[GazPots]

He looks like one of those wolf boy sufferers where they just grow hair all over.

Hahaha

[spanielgita]

LOL at your stupid bearded FACE!!! buy a razer boy!

[craigmcarthur1]

Haha, I did I am no longer 'Castaway' boy!

[meemawuk]

You still look like a hobo!

[skamaks26]

are you feeling better now?

[meemawuk]

WTF?

[fenderfreak82192]

thats a douchebag comment

[craigmcarthur1]

"thats a douchebag comment" explain?

[marius2k6]

I love that riff

[noobiePT]

ooww awsome sound.. nice :)

[craigmcarthur1]

The riff is from a song called Airport Syndrome by my band Vinyl Future. You can check us out on myspace, the website address is in the video details above dude!

[Nuggiestein]

Wish I had enough money for it, sounds awesome!

btw, what song are you playing??

[iamzacky]

it sounds like a reverb pedal...or even more accurate...flerb in a holy grail

[guitarhero419]

kool you have a nice set up i got that DL4 line 6 delay its awesome

[craigmcarthur1]

Nice one, its is an awesome delay pedal, great versatility in its features, excellent tone without any horrible noise and great build quality. Only drawback is the pwer supply. It drains batteries at an alarming rate, the optional DC supply is a must!

[guitarhero419]

yea i ordered the power supply i've been useing my whammy pedal power supply but i don't want to break it peace
