EHX Small Stone
Sounds amazing, very easy to use. I have compressor so never experienced volume boost with this one. Playing dream pop/psychedelic rock and got everything I need with this one. Classic vintage 70s sound.

A trip to wonderland
This is in my experience the first phaser that sounds good. I've not played around with any that I liked the sound of before. I've spotted it at a concert - one of the bands was doing some trippy solos with it. Couldn't resist, bought it. No regrets!
Ok, down to business:
The metal casing is sturdy and the 2 controls available will never confuse you. It also seems to provide a sort of a boost on some frequencies, that helps add a punch to a solo when switching it on.
The knob:
The rate range is very wide, and goes from sloooow to superfast. There's no troublees controling it tho.
The color switch:
When down, phaser seems to affect less frequencies and generally is friendlier. When up though, it will go all out, encompassing the whole range and really putting the psy into the psychedelic :D
I've had no troubles with it what so ever. I see why it is deemed a legendary pedal! Plus the fact that it's much smaller than its predecessors is a superplus, since it really doesn't take up too much space on the pedalboard.

When less is more!!
I decided to buy this pedal after listening to a lot of different models. I was searching for a phaser that could give different tonal shape possibilities with a very simple layout and vintage flavor. Also, i wanted a phaser that could be used in different musical contexts, from metal guitar craziness to lush ambient synth soundscapes.
When I plugged it in my amp for the first time, i was blown away by how awesome it was, both in rhythmic playing and soloing! I then tried it with a novation mininova synth, and that helped me understand how actually cool the color switch is. It gives you a much deeper and washy phaser effect, perfect for getting Jean Michel Jarre-like timbres.
In a metal guitar context by the way, I suggest to disengage the color switch, because it creates a very deep phase shifting that could give less definition .
Pros:
Excellent Sound
True Bypass
Easy to use
Cons:
In my personal experience, none.

Luscious and washy
Great build quality, nice small form factor, and gives the classic phaser sound that we hear on so many records.
Works well in a signal chain with other pedals, such as a compressor, vibrato and reverb.
Can achieve a range of sounds to suit your requirements, and the colour toggle is useful to tame some of the intensity.

Really like the sound of this one
It's beautiful! Don't know what more to sat really. Have only used on a bass guitar with amp+cab, but sounds very nice. It's a keeper imo!

Instant classic!!!
One of the most legendary phasers out there! Easy to use, great sound, two modes. From gentle vibe to crazy trip. It is all there. I used to own vintage Small Stone and there is a downside - effected sound is quieter than uneffected. Luckily it is not the case of these modern ones, volume is the same. Glad they've fixed it. This version is small enough to fit tiny pedalboard, yet it si made out of metal so it will last longer than you will :-) It is also very cheap to obtain.

Easy to Operate
Really simple pedal with great sound. No fiddly buttons or overwhelming settings to mess around with, just a great sound at the flick of a switch.

Makes you feel stoooooooned
This is a pedal that sounds more expensive than it is. Basically, this cheap pedal sounds AMAZING!
It has a classic look to it and feels really robust. I don't mess around with the "color" switch that much, doesn't really do much for my style of music. The rate however is great. The varieties in sound you can get by changing the rate is great
Sounds amazing, feels robust and is cheap!
A definite recommendation to anyones collection of pedals

Excellent!
I love this thing. Yes, I think the big-box small stones are probably warmer, but this thing is small, true bypass, uses a standard power adapter, and is a bargain. Chances are you'll never really notice the difference, and this one won't suck your tone. Personally, I greatly prefer the tone and flexibility of the Small Stone to the Phase 90.
