To me it seemed like the nano got lower and higher in volume as it swept through the sound compared to the original, which seemed more consistent. It actually annoys me quite a bit that no modern versions of any vintage gear can sound as good as the original. It's most likely because the original parts are unobtainable because the technologies in the world today have different component needs. I still love my Nano though, it sounds great :)
Interesting but why do I hear like a stereo reverb in headphones? These units are not stereo and strangely enough it seems to be more reverb on the vintage making it sound better. There's a lag between room sound and line sound so I don't know if that exaplins the "reverb", that the room sound is added to the signal...
Should not really be, I tried to cut over between the audio sources so that we'd get a clean signal coming from the desk directly. However it may be a little bit of a spill here and there :)
They both certainly have their uses! I reckon the small stone nano was perhaps adjusted to cater for guitar sounds and not keyboards with lots of harmonics! The nano when played with guitar sounds pretty good :)
Nice video! I’m interested in what you mean by the “pass through” - is that the dry signal passing through? Or I’ve read that the nano has a longer pause at the bottom in between sweeps - do you think that’s true? I’m not sure I can hear it here.
Hello. Yes "Pass Through" is when the signal is bypassing the pedal / effect and going from the input straight to the output. I suppose many people have different ways of terming this function, but I suppose "bypass" would be more correct. The nano feels like it has a longer "pause", but this is just because the phasing is not as "deep" as the original (see the spectrogram) and thus it sounds like it is taking longer to sweep back from the turnaround point, creating that illusion since it takes longer for the effect to be noticed. We can however see on the spectrometer that it does in fact sweep without any pausing. Let me know if you have more questions, I am happy to answer as much as I can.

Nano is amazing pedal for that money. Tiny price, huge sound
He'll of alot more dry signal from the nano. The original has an unusual flair to it. Especially compared to MXR phaser.
Really useful and informative video!

great vid! I think I like them both :-)

I really appreciate the information. Very helpful, thank you!
Great one - Very Jean Michel Jarre!!!
