Often imitated but never duplicated, the elusive vintage MXR Phase 90 guitar pedal is at the top of the list for pedal collectors world-wide. The MXR Phase 90 gives a wooshing, swirling sound with a variable speed control that sounds as if the frequencies of the guitar are fading in and out. This pedal is the simplicity itself, one effect on/off button and a speed control, the speed control gives you 'almost' everything you need from a slow 'almost' chorus to a shimmering 'almost' tremolo plus all points in between.Vary the speed from a subtle, long cycle to a fast, watery warble with endless vintage vibrations in between. The knob is sensitive, but easy to control thanks to its oversized design, and unlike the other Phase 90 pedals, this one has a knob that has been painted with glow-in-the-dark paint, to make checking and changing your setting easy in a live situation. No matter the genre or instrument, the Phase 90 has been there through it all to add its distinctly lush voice to a musician's tone palette.

For more than four decades, the MXR Phase 90 has been a mainstay on the pedal boards of millions of players around the globe. Van Halen first heard Robin Trower use the pedal in the mid-1970s, and used it on songs such as " Eruption", " Atomic Punk", " Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love", " Everybody Wants Some! The kit is supplied with a vertical-mount pot which has a round shaft, so you'll need set-screw fitting knob. It is essentially two phasers in one: the standard block-logo Phase 90, and the vintage 70's script-logo phaser, the button marked 'Script' switches between two phase sounds, one subtle and one more pronounced however the difference is not overly drastic.If however you happen to like how MXR has voiced their phase pedal offerings, and you are a member of the set-it-and-forget-it club, then you know that the classic single-knob pedals are hard to beat. Plus, the EVH 90 sports the greatest graphics in the history of rock: the red, white, and black stripes from Eddie's legendary Frankenstein guitar.

Since then it can be found in studios, and on pedalboards across the world thanks to it's signature tone. Despite the limited number of controls that the Phase 90 has, the knob actually covers quite a broad range, from a slow, almost imperceptible phase rate, to a full-on Leslie-ish psychedelic warble.

One tip: if you end up using a 'standard' reverse logarithmic potentiometer with an '80C' taper, you might find the 'action' too bunched up at the high end of the dial.
