All user reviews for the MXR M101 Phase 90

Ben .. a small box orange nice .. simple .. with one button and one adjustable speed ... In between 1 and exit out ...

UTILIZATION

It is very simple .. the effect is con rules and the manual, I jmen crazy even to look, it's going to say like that alone ..

SOUND QUALITY

In short, the sound is exeptional for that price and the simplicity ... I have a Gibson SG Special and a peavey bandit 112, c not bad at all ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months ... I like simplicity itself avrai say I did not even try before you buy ... I fi has a reputable. Report quality great price and I do not regret it at all.

Phasing pedal using analog technology.
A single knob to adjust the speed of the effect, difficult to be easier!
This pedal is legendary on the market since 1974 (although the components have almost certainly change over time), and its strength is as legendary as his sound.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is on-not-be-more-simple. Its standard format ensures that the Phase 90 of Mxr place in many a pedalboard.
Editing of different sounds is immediate, simply turn the single knob, thus no need detailed instructions!

SOUND QUALITY

I used (and I still from time to time) this pedal on electric guitar, although it gives very good results on my keyboard.
This pedal takes us into the 70's: in the books rock, reggae, funk and hard, she can complete a chorus or flanger or supplant them.
With distortion, we find the legendary sounds of Van Halen, a lower cost than with his signature model for me has made very similar.

My main complaint concerns the distortion it brings to his phaser clear of the amp. Let me explain: it provides both triggered a dirty side to her, especially when we aggressively attack the strings, making it difficult to use for attacks funky energetic ... I read somewhere that there is a modification to the PCB to remove this flaw, but not knowledgeable I got into any risky experiment ^ ^ On the other hand, some research may be To this end, this is just my personal opinion!

Some types of settings (subjective of course ^ ^)
8: Uli Jon Roth, "In Trance" Tokyo tapes.
10-11 h speed typical Van Halen
14h "Memory Motel" The Rolling Stones
thoroughly: "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin.

OVERALL OPINION

This is the first pedal that I purchased, there are two years ago.
It corresponds, at his, had the idea that I'm a phaser (I'm not a fan of electro harmonix example, too "metal" for my taste)
I would do probably this choice, however I do not use so much more compared to my chorus.

I recommend this pedal, however, for those looking for the sounds of artists I could mention

Normal phase, a knob and pi 'veiled
Analog
What pedal basic, standard format mxr, mxr quality housing which should not look ..

UTILIZATION

Config ultra simple, one knob is quickly seen
Manual unread for change (against the I do not know if there is one with, but hey if so it's a bit of foutage of mouth lol, I do not see what they could say except
-Turn RIGHT: ITS TURN FASTER
OTHER turn-RIGHT: ITS TURN MORE SLOWLY)
I'm not yet at a glance so I understand, you should do it too ...

SOUND QUALITY

Super phaser
known, recognized, used by lots of great tit ga FRICA top billing
can be a little too aggressive, but there is a manipulation which would make the sound more "smooth" (see tips), but still I am wary of this kind of miracle cures that can cost you a foot in final
Used with the same instrument Eddie: A GUIITARREEE
great sound for solos, in my humble opinion as a necessary delay for example.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 2 months
I love the sound, the size of the pedal, the ease of use, the power supply sector in addition to the battery (eh VOX)
I had not tried other models, I have relied on the reputation of this beast, and went to try j'ssuis .4 35 minutes later was MOEE did!
price / quality ratio right I think, but hey I do not know the other delays of this range so I can not say, but for me it's worth it compared to a pedal tc, martin and other junk fucking delicious (I know what I speak eh ..)
OEP I remake that choice, unless I spend a rack, but it would still be boring with a pedalboard to 1700 brouzoufs and dust (euros lol): see profile

Everything has been said previously.

UTILIZATION

Could not be simpler, a single knob control, basta.
In addition it is possible to change the speed at the bottom with the big crown caoutchous just around the button.

SOUND QUALITY

Realistically, you either like this MXR or not, the only adjustment does not change the basic sound. I tried several Wrapped phaser settings, ultimately choosing this one for the sound that suits me perfectly, and also for its simplicity.
Of that in mind when you think phaser, sounds that come to mind often come from this, VH, and many others use it, gotta be a reason too.

OVERALL OPINION

The simple adjustment that could be an obstacle is in fact an asset. If the basic sound please, then go ahead, it's simple, and it sounds solid. In addition it is not very expensive.

"That says it all" as noted by Baudelaire at the beginning of his career ...

I will add just the traditional 9 volt power supply is what, I had a little flip, wondering if it was not a "reverse polarity" ... Not need an adapter.

And I like her very small size, which allowed me to fit between the multi-wah effect and, without repeating the entire pedalboard.

UTILIZATION

The config could not be simpler ...
Personally I added "points" (13 in all) for benchmarks for single knob "speed". We can remember precisely like that.

SOUND QUALITY

At the end I was pleasantly surprised by the position up to speed, because the sound is very usable (just the sound of keyboard "no quarter" to ledzeppelin, or "Group Four" Massive Attack or the spirit of the John Scoffield in "Hottentot") So these three examples show that this position can be used in arpeggios and solo (or boiled to make sound on a free end of the song ...)

For cons, the minimum speed, in my opinion, lack of presence, but I can not ask him much as a flanger ...

Second point which disappoints me a little is a good offense, especially in his clear, sound saturated with an attack too strong, so you have the volume down a bit of scratch to alleviate the problem. (My house is a Telecaster, not very accurate, very powerful and microphones ... perhaps for that.)
It's quite annoying for funky rhythm where it is not really matter to soften the attack, otherwise you lose all the efficiency of the thing.

I'm went to the dealer who told me that this is what gives the characteristic grain of Phase90, and because they can not.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one month, and I chose for the simplicity of the thing, the only speed knob is sufficient, as the presence is set to itself (and it does probably better than me) ...

For those who like an outlet for expression pedal, I can say I have no need, because if we add the sort of thing adaptable plastic knob on the original, it can handle more easy to walk without the risk of the fart, and it takes no more space on the pedalboard.

A choice to re surely. The value is excellent and is super versatile.

Phaser analog pedals for guitare.Dispose of between 6.35 and one output jack.
Has an input for connecting an external power supply in addition to the conventional nine-volt battery.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple. A single knob that allows the publishing of sound.

SOUND QUALITY

The effect produced by the phase 90 is the phasor! So it's no problem that we are looking for. As against this version a bit saturated in clean, just follow the manip Describes the TIPS for the pedals to be really sound. You can also with other changes the mode into "script logo", which will produce a softer phaser.

OVERALL OPINION

I am the User since about 2 years. In my opinion it's a phaser possder if one seeks a phaser pedals for guitar. I have tried other brands: boss, ibanez, etc.. 90 is the phase that has the best quality-price ratio son.Le is excellent, I would do without this choice hsiter.

Rod Barthet http://www.rodbarthet.com/

See below ... In any case it trs solid, has not take up space and add color to the pedalboard! Oh yes! There's also a little rubber thing that can set the knob in order to effect change with his foot! I personally do not use it ...

UTILIZATION

One knob ... can not be easier! No burnout for shipping sounds! You turn right to "phase" soon! You turn left "phase" slowly! It is extremely simple ... and I got!

SOUND QUALITY

With one knob was intrt love the sound of this! Or we like the grain you like or not. I bought this mainly for distortion sounds (and believe me the fact!). However I t surprised by the sound that gives a plain. This lightweight pedals add a crunch on the clean sound. Many do not like change and also the pedals (removing a component named R28 it seems) to reduce the crunch. Personal I like it! However, when one switches on the pedals, there is a lightweight boost. Sometimes it dsagrable, and it is then necessary to lower the sound of the guitar. And I least!

EDIT: Finally, this lightweight crunch com get drunk! So I did the R28 mod, it's easy, just cut one leg (or d-welded properly) a small pice electronic and that's it! Done in 5 minutes. Your exact is extra! The quality of the effect is suprieure. I highly recommend it. The effect seems less "artificial". Beginners race in the knob (my favorite position) has sounded a little more quiet but much better. However, the change does not remove the R28 boost volume begins bored ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 months. I have tried any other models of phaser before it. For me it's just an incidental effect so I did not normment Research. She seemed to be a gender-references, so I function without too rflchir. In the end, I am satisfied with TRS.

Analog pedal with one volume pot. MXR quality to appointment.

UTILIZATION

config ultra simple. it's plug 'n' play (in mm tps, there is only one button). is connected and you turn the volume pot.

SOUND QUALITY

the sound quality does not betray the aesthetic quality. The volume pot is very effective on the race. I particularly appreciate the range 11h-13h. if you listen to 'Have a Cigar' of Floyd, you'll know what the talking.

small flat on the sound: I quickly made the mod r28. after the mod, the pedal is more musical, even easier to use and meets COMPLETELY sound spectrum of the guitar. know that this pedal is better behaved than upstream of the preamp in the loop (especially if you have not done the mod r28).

I play telecaster and dean v and the pedal is very transparent (if one can speak of transparency for a phaser) and finds its place well as they play in clean or saturated on single or double coils.

I put 8 / 10 because of the mod required.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had years ... qq and I will have likely still qq years. although this is not the pedal is used to excess, it quickly becomes addictive. is the reference phase. Remains that he may prefer a custom model (or type csp026 csp101) if you do not want to play the cutter. and yes, in my humble opinion, the r28 mod seems mandatory. and therefore leaves a choice to repeat, I will try these custom designs. but not for now

I have played quite a few phase pedals and there are some great one out there. I really like the A/DA phasers and the stuff you get out of TC and Eventide. For me though I think it was about simplistic value. I am a very big fan of Eddie Van Halen and so getting something that I know he used was the way I was going to shop. If you notice the price I paid may seem high. I bought this from Analogman it is the hand wired version with added true bypass and LED. I have owned this pedal now for about 3 years and it has never failed me. I use this pedal often and has been on my pedal board since inception.

It has a great range or sweep of phase that goes from simple phase to pulsating phaser. It only has one knob and it is as simple as it gets. It takes a 9v plug in.

UTILIZATION

One knob for control and that is all you need with this pedal. You would be surprised of how much variation the sweep range has with only one control. It isn't hard to figure out you have to use your ear to tailor it to your personal preference. I generally keep mine around the 9:00-11:00 range. It is somewhat subtle in this range but adds a nice sweet element to your overdriven tone.

There isn't any need for a manual with only one knob.

SOUND QUALITY

The tone is perfect for me. When I engage it, it doesn't cut the volume of my original tone like many pedals do when engaged. That was a big selling factor for me. Since it doesn't have a volume knob I was a little leery of how good it will work without a volume control, but it has a great unity volume standard in the unit.

I have used this with a number of guitar and amps. The current rig I have this week is a Les Paul going into a Splawn Quickrod and going into a vintage Marshall 4x12 with blackback Celestion speakers. I run this pedal in front of my amp. It sounds good in the effects loop as well but I think these MXR phaser pedal sound best in front of the overdriven amp. I many times couple this with a delay and I get some great early VH tones. I used a Wolfgang to get those tones.

OVERALL OPINION

This pedal like many of MXR's is so simple and easy to use. They as a company don't get to crazy with many controls and options. I think the tone of their products have such a sweet ranges of tones that I don't think you need a group of different controls. At around $100 this is a great priced pedal. If you need something simple and that will get you a great vintage phase tones than this is your pedal. If you want something with a little more options and for funky effects that take phasing to a whole new level then grab an A/AD phaser reissue.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants keep it simple. One knob control is very simple and you'll love the tone you get.

What are the effects, types of effects available?
A basic ultra Phaser ... For more info and demos - www.jimdunlop.com ...

What technology is used?
Pure analog. True Bypass (dark in your pedalboard is as if it did not exist)
Are they edited?
Via a single volume pot that adjusts the speed of the Phaser ... There is the MXR Phaser 100 for those who want more settings. The speed is well suited ... The only failure is a knob to "mix" to adjust the proportion of the effect that shipment. If it is not useful on a Disto, a modulating effect would be a little more interesting.
What is the connection?

In / out + PSU 9v

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple?
There is now only one volume pot and a switch ... not very complicated. That's what I'm looking for now. Very simple and quality. Tired of multi-effects laden settings. A choice. Those who hope to settle all the parameters of the effect, go your way.

Editing sounds and effects is easy?
Well you just hear the sound playing and turning the volume pot. More at small MXR always provided with a sort of "Foureau" that attaches to the knob, to adjust the effect to the foot (on a non-slip floor, or in a pedal-board)
The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Ya No!

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?

Ideal for funky rhythms, set between 10am and 12pm. beyond 12 it becomes bizarre but perfectly usable ... to look for and try ... it's "real time" there ... no menus to edit ... you can try while playing.
Which instruments do you use?
Takamine with a passive microphone in the soundhole ... The metallic sound of the acoustic p
+ Phaser gives superb results on funk rhythms, especially on the muted notes. Looove ...
Which ones do you prefer, you hate?

Must learn to master the sound of the phaser ... in agreement that we let it ring ... it's nice but it's just a wAowWAooowWAoooow ... + cons by playing rhythmic sound makes a very nice grain which is known for this pedal, besides ... Is ZE pedal of the 70's ...



OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
One night only

What thing do you like most/least about it?
The +: a typical sound that I love. The simplicity of the setting really helps to feel the effect of taming and playing with musical ... I chose this pedal for its unique setting. Less is more
The -: Missing just one "mix" effect ... we would sometimes hear a little less. It is true that the effect triggered adds a bit of "volume", this can be annoying ... But hey, a "mix" effect does not seem to exist on many pedals on the market ... J'piges not sure why ... A distortion, for example, there is no need to adjust the "mix" between sound and distorted sound "clear" ... adjusting the distortion more or less saturated the signal that enters. In the case of an effect of "modulation", as Phaser ... Ben is not the same ... we would like to have a proportion of its modulated.
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I had quite a few multi-effects with this famous effect "phaser" ... often or too complicated or too artificial

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Unbeatable ... € 88 ... Flee the Boss PH-3 Phase Shifter ... full settings ... and not at all true bypass ...
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
I persist and sign. I'm currently turning my multi-effects for me create an analog pedalboard ... I miss a Delay and Chorus ...

And then it's good MXR, super strong and super simple.

This is an analog phaser from MXR. The base what! No digital or unnatural cold
Connectivity of a typical pedal: input and output jack, and an input for the power supply '.

UTILIZATION

Are not simple, a switch with red LED to indicate it is active or not, and only one knob to manage the speed of the phaser. That's all!

SOUND QUALITY

This phaser is just beautiful, the resulting sound is exactly what I was looking for!
I had previously tried at a friend phaser Boss ... vile, distorted sound, etc. ... a brief horror!
This phaser has a way to let your sound "as is" by sublimating it is hot, it's clean, there is deep, short, perfect. Pushing the volume pot thoroughly, we can obtain a kind of chorus / tremolo enough psyche) I use two electric guitar (ESP LTD and a BC.RICH), and the record is good on 2, clean as saturated.

OVERALL OPINION

For me it's "only" valid phaser on the market. I use it since early 2009, bought OCCAZ on the net, and this is my first phaser purchased after 1 or 2 test in shops. I prefer my digital phaser on my Line 6 SpiderValve 212, there is no picture!
I love it as easy to use, solid, and the natural sound of the phaser.
The value for money is very good, especially for OCCAZ, and I would do without hesitation that choice!

This is a classic phase pedal. It's been used for years and for good reason. The owner of the studio I interned at showed it to me and I've been using it ever since. I've used it on guitars, electric pianos, vocals and other things. It's pretty versatile. It's an analog pedal, and it has yet to be topped, even by MXR. It doesn't have too much in the way of extra effects like midi outs or anything like that, but that's not really the point.

UTILIZATION

It only has one knob, which controls the speed at which it shifts. The fact that it only has one knob might turn some people off, but fear not, because that's the only thing you'll likely ever need to adjust. The tone is pretty much great the way it is. In a studio setting, it's perfect for almost anything. There's really nothing confusing about it at all.

SOUND QUALITY

I have yet to find a phaser other than this one that doesn't sound cheesy. I think most newer models tend to overdo it a little bit (I'm thinking Joe Satriani's "Surfing with the Alien" which is a cool tune, but not a sound I'm generally looking for). This pedal keeps it light and classy, the way it should be. As Randy, my old boss, used to say "Effects are great as long as you don't notice them". That's the mindset that makes this pedal worth it. If you want your pedal to scream "PHASER!!!" then this pedal might not be for you. If you have some class and need a phase shifter, it's the best.

OVERALL OPINION

I can't emphasize enough, the pedal is great. I just bought it and I see myself using it for a long time to come. I like that it isn't too intense with its effect, and that I can control it pretty easily. I didn't try too many other models because I knew that this is what I wanted as soon as I heard it. It's worth it if you have the money to throw around. I'd certainly make the same choice if I had to make it again.

The MXR M101 Phase 90 is an analog phase shifting guitar pedal. It has a 1/4 inch input and a 1/4 input output and is the easiest pedal in the world to use - no exaggeration. It is not rackable as it is a stomp box.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the MXR Phase 90 couldn't be easier. It just has a single knob to control the speed of the phaser. Simply turn the knob until you get a sound you like - turning it all the way down will result in a simple, subtle phaser sound, while turning it up all the way will give you almost a rotary sound. It is simple to use and easy to get a quick, great sound out of. I don't have a manual for this but I don't think it is necessary considering how easy to use this pedal is.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality of the MXR M101 Phase 90 is quite good. Since there is only one knob and one thing to control, it isn't the most versatile phase shifter in the world, but is satisfactory and is great at the sounds in does make. I have only use this with electric guitar, but would work okay with any electronic instrument you wanted to use it with. The tone is really thick and juicy and is overall a great sounding phaser. My only complaint is that I would like to have more controls.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using the MXR M101 Phase 90 for about two years and I have found it to be a great sounding phase shifting guitar pedal. The sound quality is top notch, as we have come to expect from most MXR pedals. While this isn't close to as versatile as a Boss PH-3 phase shifter, it will do the job if you are looking for a good sounding phaser at a good price. However, I would probably recommend the Boss PH-3 over this pedal because it has a ton of more controls. This being said, you can't get the thick phaser sound that the Phase 90 will give you on the PH-3. It is just a matter of personal preference and I would encourage those interested in getting a phase shifter to look into this pedal as well as some of the others on the market.

MXR Phase 90 pedal is a small analog stomp box (foot pedal) made of hard steel casing, with a 1/4 jack going in (from instrument) to output. There is one knob marked speed. This of course is the design, but older boxes will sound different from newer ones. My pedal is from early 2000's and is probably very similar to ones you will find for sale tody. The side of the pedal has a housing for a common 9V plug or battery will do; this pedal is one of the few that has never given me any powering problems.

UTILIZATION

This pedal is a pantheon in rock music. Chances are your favorite rock music is laden with phase pedal effects. For example, Led Zeppelin's "Ten Years Gone" -- that first hard rock lick in the beginning, there's some serious phase. Phase is excellent for most instruments, especially bass guitar, electric guitar, keyboards, even voice (probably from a rack module, though, unless your singer wants it live). As you can tell, phase is used when you want to add a 'washy' or 'warbly' tone. The box grabs the incoming tone and 'phases' the wave at a different rate and tone then feeds it out. The speed can make it seem very gradually whooshing or high speed for a sound similar to when you hum and tap your adam's apple. And for good entry level and pro type phase, in my opinion, this is an absolute must. These are the pedals Eddie Van Halen somehow turned into an incredible tonal fury. For funk, reggae, R&B, uptempo grooving and rhythm, this pedal is simply unbeatable. Try a Les Paul with the tone high on the neck pickup, phase it out at about half-way on the speed dial, and try a couple of 'bob marley' rhythm chops...home free, mon!

SOUND QUALITY

There are many companies manufacturing phase; it's a common effect. Even MXR tried to outdo themselves with a Super 90 which was a wider orange box, adding some different wave settings. Why doesn't it sound as rich and full as the simple 90? Who knows. There's no overstating the versatility of this pedal, especially when handling any kind of rhythm work on your instrument. Soloing with the pedal makes the notes sound too washy for my taste and I have a tendency to use it primarily in rhythm. And it doesn't mix well with a wah-wah (too much loss of control in cancellation). But for the $100 to $120 you'll pay for this pedal (maybe even cheaper), you'll be adding a very rich tonal variation to break up the thin tone of no effects.

OVERALL OPINION

This is one of my favorite pedals for any rhythm work in funk, rock, r&b, reggae, proggy/psychedelic. One of the great grandaddies of killer tone and reliability.
