Mikron Phaser was modeled after the legendary Small Stone Phaser. The effect was made famous by the French composer Jean Michel Jarre who used it extensively on his recordings. It has a smooth, vibrant seventies sound that is equally suited for guitar and synthesizer.

I really like Phasers, also have a lot of different phaser plugins, but up to now never was totally convinced of what I heard from them.
The Mikron Phaser seems to come much closer to my idea of a good phaser sound. As the developers say, it's based on a Small Stone Phaser, which is a good reference.
What I like is the wonderfully recreated vintage character, the musical quality of the tone as well as the additional adjustment possibilities. I don't have so much experience with the real Small Stone, but when testing the Mikron Phaser I also found some settings, which came close to my two favorite phasers, the Maestro Oberheim and the Mutron Bi-Phase, especially this typically 60's / 70's very special, deep pulsating, breathing low frequency phasing a lot of phaser plugins don't seem to simulate too convincing, if ever. Often the phasing sounds too thin or too sharp, just not "analog" enough and with too little body. The Mikron Phaser doesn't seem to have these problems, it just sounds right to me.
Up to now for me one of the best and most musically sounding phaser plugins I've heard.
