Ok, got this one as a gift. Suggestion if you really know you are going to want to keep this pedal . . . Buy the Russian one. Resale value is less, but the chicken head knob is easy to turn with your foot. That said, increasing the rate sounds good if done musically. I play this chained through an EQ, then American Big Muff PI. Having the fuzz before it makes the effect more pronounced. Careful plugging and unplugging the effect's AC adapter when it is plugged into your guitar and amp. It makes a funny noise that might blow speakers at high levels.
Good Points: Sweep range suits me, try it out for yourself.
Bad Points: Needs chicken head knob :(

Well, for a start, mine doesn't look like this, it's a huge green metal box, too big really. Produces a very warm, phat sounding phase, can be very subtle on it's slowest and pretty in your face on the fastest setting. Making feedback on it's self gets you some pretty wild oscillations Think psychedlia, think those warbly vocal effects Led Zeppelin used to have at times. Be prepared to fix it if it's anything like mine though. The input keeps shorting at the most inopportune moments and the plastic knob cover falls off pretty easily.
Good Points: warm sound adds a nice depth if used subtley to more quiet parts
Bad Points: no effect mix breaks easily too big
