HUUUUUUGE question!

The original MXR phasers are considered classic, especially the Phase
90, although there was also the subtler Phase 45 and multi-waveform
Phase 100. However, they have a distinctive sound... you may find that
the Electro-Harmonix Small Stone is more to your taste. Ibanez/Maxon
made clones of the Phase 90/100 (the PT909 and 999, I think) and theyre
very highly thought of. For more extreme retro phase sounds, the
Moogerfooger 12-Stage Phaser is fantastic.

For flangers, MXR is another good choice... their old flanger does the
Unchained sound. Electro Harmonixs Electric Mistress is another old
classic, and again, its totally different from the MXR pedal.

Then youve got the whole range of compact pedals that have come out
since... Boss are probably the most common, and while (IMO) a lot of
their stompboxes have an undeservedly glowing reputation, theyre always
worth a look. The same goes for DOD and Nobels. The modern equivalent of
Boss (with the addition of digital modelling) is probably Line 6, with
their Tonecore range. IIRC, they dont do a phaser, but the Liqua-Flange
is very good.

Incidentally, one of the best phaser pedals Ive ever tried was the Red
Witch Deluxe Moon Phaser... its not cheap, unfortunately.

Classics in other fields? Theres loads... Ibanez TS808, Vox Wah,
Univibe, Sola Tonebender, Crybaby, MXR Distortion+, MXR Dynacomp, Korg
G4, Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face... any specific sounds you have in mind?
