hmm..not bad.. but to my ears the gain is a bit too much...
i thought Van Halen using phaser...

 

[duskalways]

[audio]

[audio]

too much gain? compared to van halen's, yes i agree..its juz a little bit more gain..maybe im used to that 'tight' sound wen muting..
my habit ah..

 

[penguin]

more gain is cool...

Hi Audio

Great sounding clips - the reverb on the "Ain't talking bout love" clip is spot on, though the overall tone, while superb could do with just a little more warmth.

Is the second clip from "Top Gun"? That is a nice thick sound.

What gear are you using?
