Not exactly what I was hoping it would be
First of all I must mention that this pedal is very cheap and that for the price you won't find many better phaser pedals. That said, I don't find it usable in playing live. The pedal would boost my volume be a noticeable amount ( I would say maybe 15-20%) every time I would engage it. For me personally that is a deal breaker as I mostly play live. In other situations however, like practicing at home or recording at studio, I could easily find a use for it. It has a good sound, enough features and is built pretty solid even though it is cheap (it is pretty sizeable though). All in all I wouldn't recommend it for live players but if you need it for other situations it will do a good job for a small price.

Would be a great pedal, if it didn't have a huge drawback
The construction is really solid, when I got it and opened it I was like Woah, for 32EURs this must be the deal of the century.
Plug it in, the effect sounds nice, but the pedal adds an extreme amount of volume.
It really does act as a boost pedal, it's really really not the ideal way of using an effect pedal. Since there's not output control on it, it's impossible to change the output volume, so I'm a kind of disappointed with this.
I can only use it when lead tones come in and I actually want to have boost at the same time.

a little bit disappointed
I wanted to try these new cheap pedals, slightly disappointed:
+ super sturdy construction
+ sound is decent
- a little too big and bulky
- adds too much volume which is the real downside to me, acts as a boost which isn't ideal

Bro says it is ok
Bought for my brother.
He has nothing much to say about it - it does its job and he is satisfied with it. Has ok range of features.
The only con might be that it is a bit bulky - as all of this range pedals, but I personally like the bulkiness of the pedal.
Build quality is good and there are no issues after extensive use and heavy stomping.

Very happy new owner
This thing is solid and strong and most importantly has a great sound. Plugging it in I immediately found myself with a very "playable" set of phaser sounds. Nothing over the top but just very usable. Fantastic addition to my guitar sound for an extremely good value price. This purchase has got me curious about some of the other TC Electronics Pedals.

Great phaser for the price
Very good phaser pedal for the price. I used it with my les paul and bugera tube amp and it sounded ok. Definetely prefer my phase 90 tho.
Pros
great build quality
more versatile than expected
price
Cons
Sounds a bit weird and complicated to me
the pedal is activated when the footswitch is released

Nice phasing, pedal could be built better.
The pedal has a nice phaser and the 3 knobs provide a lot of possibilities sound wise: from a distant ocean wave to a fast tremolo/chorus type of effect. It's a bit bigger than a normal pedal. The footswitch activates the pedal when it's released, not when pressed. The footswitch button is a bit weak aswell. Also, the case has to be taken of (4 screws) in order to use a battery. And it uses up that battery pretty quick, afterward it remains frozen in one of the cycles of the phase.

decent sound but increases volume
its a decent sounding analogue phaser that seems very resistent and has simple controls...the thing is it increases the volume when its on...for me its not practical because i would have to turn the guitar volume down and my overdrive pedal changes its grit according to the volume comin out of the guitar. Maybe for recordin its good enough or live if you have a volume pedal you probably could turn the volume down when you engage the blood moon

Nice and useful
I use it as an external processor for live mixing. I like the sound of it, although it could be more "exaggerated" at some moments. Overall I'm very happy, the case looks solid and it's good looking
