A classic and staple of any great players board.

A favourite of many of the greats, from Gilmour to Van Halen, the MXR Phase 90 is as legendary as many of the great players who've utilized it's unique sound. Having purchased this pedal I now realise why: it's an amazing sound, works well with other pedals and is tweakable and versatile, so there are many different unique sounds to be found in this pedal. It's now a staple on my pedalboard and is almost always on. I Could not recommend the Phase 90 enough, a highly valuable addition to any players board at a very reasonable price.

My first phaser

This was my first phaser I ever bought and is awsome. I still have it on my paddle board, it saunds amazing and the quality is good.

Simply but effective

It does its job as it should. It would be nice if there were a few more things to tweak but overall I'm very happy.

Sonic reducer...

We cover some punk classics in our set.. well... depending on how long we have.. always like to throw one in...

The deadboys sonic reducer being one such number... this pedal is the classic you need.

I prefer to front load it rather than place it in the effects loop...

I had been tempted to go with newer phasers that have more sculpting options but.. this does exactly what I want and expect and I don't need the headache of adjust test adjust test craic... I prefer to just play...

Classic pedal for a reason!

Pretty straightforward

Great pedal. It nails the phaser tones from the 70s until today.

Naturally, it's a one knob pedal, so it is not very versatile if you want to shape your own sound. That being said, what you see is what you get with this pedal. If the Phase90 is a sound you like, it will not disappoint. The range goes from very slow (nice for a rhytm tone, or to add some mojo to your base sound) to very fast (takes over the sound, great if you're feeling experimental)

Other than that, this pedal is built like a tank and is still doing well

Its A Phaser...

Theres a reason this is so popular, its simple and it makes the phaser noise.

Would it be nice to have more control of the modulated sound and the wave? Yes. Is this still a great pedal? Yes.

MXR Phase 90

It does phase very well,

Great Pedal

Exactly as expected, great sounding pedal

Just a phase you are going through...

It sits in a loop of my g system. Prefer it for the vintage sound, the depth and 3d sound that it brings over the phaser effect in the g system. If you are looking for a phaser this is a way to go...and it's cheap!

van halen

great pedal for your Van Halen lead tones and funky 70's rhythm playing, not as subtle as the script logo, which i prefer for funk, I think it would work great on bass and piano ,too.

Great pedal

Absolutely great pedal, bought this for a friend and it sounds amazing, he's been using it for a massive variety of own material and covers, give a great Van Halen tone for a very reasonable price, very tough and durable and has had no problems so far, the bright orange look make it noticeable on stage as well regardless of lighting, it doesn't glow in the dark but its easily seen, the switch is very easy to hit in a rush so no need to worry about it even if it does look small compared to the likes of boss pedals and similar, great pedal and works wonders, adding a great effect to my friends arsenal of pedals

Instant Physical Graffiti

Got this for using in my Led Zeppelin tribute act. I've since modified as it would sometimes put my singer off! Since removing one of the resisitors, forget which one, it's a little smoother and he's stopped moaning. Solid and reliable.

Magic and Essential

I love this pedal due to its classic simplicity - the sound takes you back to vintage Page, May and Van Halen. Robust and simple to operate it has classic warm analogue sounds. With some warm tube overdrive it is magnificent - Don't know how I lived without it for so long !
