MXR Phase 90, fully analog cable replica hand MXR Custom Shop of the original released in 1974. A knob velocity (speed) and a trimmer that plays on the intensity of the effect inside (no need to touch on mine the factory setting is just perfect).

It is an exact replica, sorted components specific to the original, Fet selected and paired. For the reverse cons of having an exact replica that there is no supply via adapter possible, no true bypass and no LED on / off ...

I note 8 to the absence of power supply and others, but we can not blame this time MXR not offer a true reissue of their phaser heard everywhere since 1974.

UTILIZATION

Super easy to use, it sets the speed we play, it sounds and what a sound!

I note 10 ... not need 50 settings, when it sounds, it sounds!

SOUND QUALITY

Big analog sound warm and detailed with much more subtlety than other editions by MXR Phase 90. The effect is rich and this remaining always accurate and never gives her the draft.

The Knob set at 9am one enters the area of ​​Van Halen's first album period. With other fast we feel behind Jimmy Page, Gilmour, Johnny Winter ... authentic sound that is fast forgetting the inconvenience of the lack of LED on / off or power by adapter.

If I had to give him a qualifier would be: AUTHENTIC!

OVERALL OPINION

I have recently, but I must confess that I've tried a bunch of phaser and this one put on my buttocks. There are small boxes like this that have the magic, it is full. Reira I point to my note for absences mentioned above, but frankly, what a sound!

A must-have for anyone who like me was looking for the authentic sound of the MXR Phase 90.
