Anyone got/used one of these? Are they like a CS-1? What do you think of the price, seems quite steep

Doesn't appear to be in the gallery... (?)

Looks like non-original '60s Gibson top hat knobs on it, too.

(edit: there are a few reviews for it at Harmony Central; one of the reviewers stated that it's opto-coupled)

That price is for 2 pedals and I have no idea how rare or not that Jen Phaser is. On average you can easily find a Roland AS-1 for $150, and if you're lucky something closer to $100 or less.

I remember reading a few reviews that complained that the as-1 added an unwanted distortion.

Also it not being in the gallery is intentional, it's not Boss. :)

Although I wish Boss Area would pickup the line of old Roland Pedals.

Yup, didn't look closely enough. But the case looks extremely similar to the BF-1 -- does this pedal predate it? Did they switch to the Boss name around this time?
