Phase in with MXR®: Which phaser pedal is right for you?
Looking to infuse your music with the mesmerizing, otherworldly tones and textures of a phaser pedal? Whether you want something straightforward and simple or you’re inclined toward tone tweaking, the MXR team has what you need to get to your sonic wonderland. Which of these MXR phasers fits your vibe and play style?
MXR® PHASE 90: THE BENCHMARK
This pedal has been the sole icon of the phaser category since its debut in 1972. With the twist of a knob, it’ll take you from a subtle, spatial shimmer to all-out high velocity swooshing. Perfect for players who are trying the effect for the first time or just want a phaser that amazing with minimal tweaking.
MXR® ’74 VINTAGE PHASE 90: THE PURIST’S DREAM
Based on our own in-house workhorse purchased in 1974, this pedal was meticulously spec'd and hand-wired with select resistors paired with hand-matched FETs to achieve the same tones as the original script logo models—with housing artwork to match.
MXR® SCRIPT PHASE 90 WITH LED: VINTAGE TONE & MODERN CONVENIENCE
This phaser delivers the classic sound and finish of the script logo models with an LED and AC power jack so that you can easily incorporate those classic tones into your pedalboard setup.
MXR® EVH PHASE 90: ROCK ’N’ ROYALTY
For EVH fanatics or players who want a little bit of versatility, this phaser captures the same great spacey swirls and hypnotic warbles that can be heard on the rock legend’s iconic tracks—plus a Script switch to toggle between a vintage, Script Logo phase tone and a more modern, in-your-face Block Logo phaser.
MXR® PHASE 100: SWITCH IT UP
A follow up to the iconic Phase 90 and the Phase 45, this pedal features its own unique circuit for a range of fluid, textured tones and 4-way switch to change up the waveform of the effect from wide and shallow on one end to deep and narrow on the other. If you want even more versatility while retaining simplicity, this is the phaser for you.
MXR® PHASE 95: MORE TONES, LESS SPACE
This pedal combines the iconic Phase 45 and Phase 90 circuits in a compact mini housing, delivering a range of rich and mellow phasing tones. Toggle between the two circuits with the 45/90 switch, and use the Script switch to select more aggressive modern style phasing or lush old school phasing. If you want versatility and a space saver, put this on your board.
MXR® DEEP PHASE™ PEDAL: EXPRESSIVE & GROOVY
This phaser covers the full spectrum of phaser tones, from smooth and subtle to turbulent and intense, with a unique flavor that’s different from anything else offered by MXR. It produces a uniquely expressive effect that’s crystal clear with a dynamic, voice-like response to your attack. It’s very low-end friendly, too—bass players should be keen to dig into this one. In an MXR mini housing, it’ll make for an easy fit into your setup.
