Detail 01
Phase shifter, not chorus or flanger

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Compact phase shifter with a single rate knob and a color switch. For players who want swirl without menu-diving or a big pedalboard footprint.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Funk rhythm parts where the swirl moves with your picking hand
- Crowded pedalboards with only a small gap left
- Players who want one knob, not a modulation menu
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing tap tempo or preset recall
- Players wanting deep chorus or flanger-style pitch warble
- Vocalists or non-guitar sources
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Nano enclosure
Smallest EHX box. Fits gaps a standard pedal cannot, so it earns a spot on a full board.
Detail 03
Rate knob
Sets sweep speed only. Slow for a gentle drift, fast for a warble. Depth is fixed.
Detail 04
Color switch
Second voicing with more pronounced, sharper phasing. The practical way to change intensity here.
Detail 05
Touch-sensitive response
Sweep stays audible under hard picking and softens when you back off, which is why it suits funk rhythm.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Power supply and cables are separate purchases
- 02Check your board's daisy chain has a free output before ordering
- 03Fixed depth means the sound lives between rate and the color switch
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it run on a 9V battery?
EHX Nano pedals accept a 9V supply. Confirm the battery door on the specific unit before relying on batteries, since most players run these from a pedalboard supply anyway.
02Phaser or flanger for funk?
Phaser. The Small Stone's notch sweep is the classic funk rhythm sound. A flanger's sweep is more metallic and jet-like, which cuts through less politely under a clean chord part.
03Where does it go in the chain?
After drive and distortion, before delay and reverb. Running it into a dirt pedal muddies the sweep.
04Is one knob enough control?
For most uses, yes. Rate sets speed and the color switch sets intensity. If you need depth, feedback, and tap tempo, choose a larger phaser.
