In this video, I'll show you why I think the MXR Phase 90 is the most versatile single pedal ever built. With just one knob and an $80 price tag, this pedal is like having 5 effects in one, which is handy for smaller pedalboards.

@cygnals524 3 года назад

Excellent demo! I agree 100% I am still blown away by how many sounds I can get out of my MXR Phase 90 when it only has one knob!! I use it in place of my flanger most of the time now I do love my RetroVibe by Jam Pedals & use that a lot but I do still use the Phase 90 for some "Univib-ish" stuff from the 1970s I know there are other Phase Pedals out there with more options, etc... but why not start with the best & it is under $100 I bought mine new last year for $75. Almost every guitar legend has this pedal on their board. You mentioned Eddie Van Halen & he even put out his customized Phase 90 that is a little more expensive if that is something a person might be interested in. Dave Gilmour used this pedal A LOT especially in the 1970s but it has always been on his board. This is a great addition to any pedalboard & y will not be disappointed.

@rev.leonidasw.smiley6300 2 года назад

@Polentaccio 3 года назад

I imagine if you throw a chorus pedal on top of the vibe setting it can get even closer. I need to put mine back on the board! I always felt it was not much use for anything else but the VH sweep but saw a few years back that Doug Aldrich was using this pedal exactly for the odd vibe sound he wanted on his small travel board.

@tgdkls5891 2 года назад

This is such a great video thank you. Yes, OBVIOUSLY you're not saying these sounds are emulations of the respective "real deals". But this is an incredibly eye-opening demo of how many usable "near enough" sounds you can get from this. I need more of this content in my life, and less endless pedal demos that just feed my tragic dopamine GAS loop buying pedals which I never learn the full capabilities of (including this one). I'd be so much better a musician (and a slightly less broke one) if I had five pedals which I'd totally mastered incorporating into actual music, rather than 50 that I only use for one thing each (or don't use at all).

Great demo of all the sounds you can get out of a phase 90. I like the script more than the block logo because it’s more subtle. I had the 74’ vintage reissue but the bypass wasn’t the greatest so I foolishly got rid of it. I just picked up the csp101 sl and it sounds very close to the 74’. Phase and flanger are my favorites at the moment. Thanks

@DarthEcoli 3 года назад

Lately, I've been wanting a uni vibe and realised a phaser could get extremely close. MXR Phase 45 and 90 are the way to go, and as you said, then some. Kinda skint lately, so I traded for a KMISE Phase 90 clone and it does the job nicely. I'll still be getting a Phase 95 since it does both 45 and 90 script or block letter versions all in one pedal. The KMISE is so good in my opinion, I'll keep it for later when I do a mini pedal affordaboard.

@Alan-su5bg 2 года назад

Almost, the univibes tremolo is activated by a photocell which makes more of a wavy type of sound than the swirly sounds a phaser can do.

This is is the more modern day version of the “script” phase 90, with the led indicator. Great demo! This thing sounds better than I thought it would. I love all the sounds you were getting on this unit. A true test would be a comparison with an original ‘74 script unit, double coil guitar, and high drive amp. AKA the “EVH” test. I would really like to hear how this more current unit handles those tones.

@AndreaAustoni Год назад

There are comparisons here on YT. The originals sound more syrupy but often have a limited speed range. They also are not true bypass and only work with a battery, which is a major hassle in the age of pedalboards. This video is just great at highlighting how your live board doesn't need to be gigantic. Our bedroom/studio tone goes out the window the moment we step on a stage. Better focus on playing well than tap dancing on a myriad of pedals.

@simonsmith2642 Год назад

I bet a phaser with a tight delay and a compressor you could get that Andy Summers tone. I run one into an octave fuzz, with a touch of delay for solos you get a nice almost early pumpkins tone, but if you roll back the volume you get that pink floyd thing. You are spot on this is a very versatile pedal, depending on where its in the chain can really change it around too.

@tom_k_d 3 года назад

Thanks for this detailed review - Two years ago, I tried a phase 90 on the Rhodes ('MXR 1974 Vintage Phase 90'). While I totally loved how it sounded in general, I sent it back cause the noise floor was simply too much for my taste, especially as I tend to boost treble with the Rhodes. Currently I use a Phaser plug in in my DAW instead, but it's not quite the same as the real deal, though it's noise-free. Could you recommend a nice sounding analogue Phaser with a lower noise floor? I've heard good things about the vintage Mutron Phasor, but close to impossible to get one...

@JameyArent 3 года назад

Check out the new MXR Phase 95. It’s a mini pedal that gives you option of script or block tones plus Phase 90 or 45. Not sure on the noise, but it’s a great pedal and might be better since it’s a new model.

@davidjameschamberlain 3 года назад

I have a Maxon PT999, which is like a cleaner script Phase 90, sonically. I've never noticed any noise issues with it. I also use a Phase 100, which has a different sound entirely
