Boss PS-3 Phase Shifter pedal

[AKMG]

What exactly is this used for? I bought it used as a spur of the moment thing and I'm quite frankly puzzled by it all. Sounds really weird and I'm not sure why this thing was made haha. Another little thing I noticed is that it really gives my amp a volume boost and also peaks my mids and trebles, making them almost ear piercing...

Should I keep it or just go see if I can trade it in for a flanger?

As much as I love my BOSS pedals, and I've got quite a few.....the PS-3 just doesn't do it. If you want a really good phaser get the MXR EVH90, is has the sounds of the old script logo and the newer block logo pedal.
It totally rocks.
Blows the BOSS out of the water.

Yup, I agree with surfdog, go buy an MXR Phase 90 instead... best Phaser there is.
