Ease of Use: 
5 (easy)
Pros: 

Tone. This is the phaser tone we know and love from dozens of classic recordings.

Ease of use. With only one control, even a simpleton like me can find a good sound in no time.

Built like a brick outhouse. Had this on my pedalboard since 2003. Hasn't flinched.

Cons: 

I had to have a small mod applied to the pedal, to get rid of some unwanted ugly distortion. All that needed to be done was remove a resistor. I don't know why they put it in there in the first place, can't see anyone preferring the tone with the resistor in the circuit.

The jacks don't give a reassuring "click" when you insert cables.

Sound Quality: 
5 (excellent)
Customer Support: 

No experience.

Reliability: 

Hasn't failed me yet.
