TC Electronic Helix - Phaser Review 

Great Helix demo!

Finally a phaser with a mix knob.

Been using the Helix on my bass for years. Awesome pedal!

By far the best of the Helix Phaser demos out there. Thank you!

I thought the vintage MXR sounded more transparent and less muddy with distortion especially. However, the toneprint options make it amazing!

Henning, love your vids. Which budget phaser do you recommend? And are there any cheap multi modulation pedals worth buying? Ps. Love your videoes. Keep up the good work.

Man, your video is simply excellent. U made it happen, as well for beginners as for advanced guitar players like me. You intoduced it by playin your own stuff, then explained the Helix "beast" from knobs and their functions, the modes of the pedal (vintage/smooth/TonePrint), demoed both of mono and stereo modes. You added what others didn't do until now, some point of humor in this video. Another reason why I liked and subscirbed to it. People like u would make that more often. It's so boring to watch a guy, using the same kind of vocal tone, without any "dynamics" in the presentation of a product (specially those dedicated for guitars). Anyways, everyone got his own way to make it. I love yours, don't change ANYTHING at all. Keep it up ;) Cheers from Belgium

Great video, just got one..

Been thinking of getting this but I am concerned about the quality of the switch. Lots of stories online about these breaking within months (whole line of pedals). How worried should I be? Should they be avoided?

Hi. What distortion pedal are you using with the Phaser? Thanks

Was this placed before or after the distorion..thanks!

Didn't know you had a twin. Kool. But tell him to change his shirt so we can tell you apart. You are a part. Ja? Got da Decco and now I'ma gonna get de Helix. Danke for da delightful demo.

Hey great review,one question my tc helix phaser just work whit a power supply is it natural????

I take the MXR used for $30 U.S. but yeah the Tone print stuff is great. I so rarely use Phaser & even then just a pinch the MXR wins for simplicity esp in live situations. In the Studio I love tweakability so the TC would be great.

Henning i am a big noob of music. pleas tell me where to put a phaser in my pedals chain? before or after distorsions? sometimes i see phasers before distorsions, sometimes after. what's the difference?

Your video editing is on point man! As usual though :)

can you review this pedal paired with Brian May’s guitar? It would be very interesting !!! Because this pedal is very similar in sound to the old Fox phaser)))

Is it possible to get a chorus sounds from this pedal?

In stereo I'm not hearing swirl left and right, which you do get with the Phase 99.

The MXR was clearly smoother in the first simple test that you did. And, for me, all of the bells and whistles of the TCE are nice and everything, but are just a waste. However, I really dig the TCE Corona Chorus as a really good alternative to a phase effect.

Can you loop the stereo so you go through the effect twice? xD

class review again

at last we see you playing and 'heving fun'! Nice Phaser .... and music too!

is this a digital or modeling effect? is it analog? what is this?

Had an Evh phase 90 recently bought the helix and I can honestly say the phase 90 is defiantly a one trick pony compared to the Helix phaser

as usual a GREAT demo ..in stereo with "the Henning twins" ;-) (y)

I like smooth mode. I sounds like old Boss PH-1 or EHX small stone than MXR 90.

love your review! very clear even for a swiss like me ( speak french)

H.P. Respekt, die Videos werden besser und besser!!!

Helix wins

Helix four knobs,full possibility but sounds cold and digital.(tone print it's gadget) MXR (CSP026 74 Vintage) one knob,little possibility but sound very organic and authentic. MXR is very very better for the ears !

O my god man!!!!)))))) Very nice!!!!! You very cool man!)))))))

So it does what the MXR does and a whole lot more besides for less money. Hmmm...

ps your twin is crazy lol

que??!!

analog mxr phase 90 sounds better.
