I was using the strymon Deco to get overdrive, chorus, flange, slapback and lofi sounds. I was using a MXR Phase 95 as my phaser. With the M1 I have all of the features of the Deco + Phase 95 with the addition of Univbe, Tremolo, Vibrato, Filter, Tremolo, Leslie. Each with 3 variations and the ability to add lofi characteristics to them (Distortion, Reverb, Hiss + Crackle, Asymmetrical LFO, etc. AMAZING PEDAL
