MXR® EVH Phase 90

Great sounding phaser and a really nice price.

What can I say. It gives me the phase effect I'm looking for. It doesn't take up a lot of space on my pedal board, all and all I'd say get one

Yeah, the blue light. What the hell? So powerful it actually hurts your eyes. Other than that... I've been playing for over 30 years, and only recently have I decided to learn some Van Halen for fun. Tough stuff to play, but tone-wise, picking up this pedal has made nailing Eddie's sound a breeze. It sounds so cool when you kick it in for solos and that gorgeous swirling sound takes the notes to an entirely new level. Yeah, Eddie had some cool tricks up his sleeve! There's just a subtle difference between the block and script settings (script is a little more subtle), but as others have said, you'd be hard pressed to notice. But here's a little trick to nail the early EVH sound: engage the script button and point the dial at the word "Script" and there it is! Apart from the EVH sound, you can nail that cool Robin Trower "Leslie" tone, too. There's really so much you can do with it. And I never had a volume drop as others have noted--perhaps they aren't clear as to how exactly a phase pedal modulates your sound? I don't get it. In fact, I find that engaged with the dial completely turned down, you get a nice preamp sweetness that makes the notes pop. It's really hard not to sound good with this thing! So the bottom line is, this is a real winner and quite cool aesthetically, especially for those of us 80s brats raised on Van Halen. I picked mine up for $110 here on Amazon. If you want the sound but not the EVH graphics and the choice between block and script, get a regular block Phase 90 for much less money, and you'll be happy--it will essentially do the same thing. Have fun!

This pedal is amazing, but DO NOT buy it from Zorro Sound. The item came late, was defective, and they have no customer service to speak of. I called them literally 20 times within seven days trying to exchange the pedal. They only answered one of the times, (15th I think?) and said they would email me a return slip. They never did. Zorro Sounds also never returned any of my calls. I had to go to my local repair shop and salvage the pedal, which is an exceptional sounding pedal. If you want to sound like EVH, buy this. Just don't buy it from Zorro Sounds. I can't stress enough how frustrating it was to deal with Zorro Sounds. I needed the item by a certain day so I express shipped it, but it still didn't come in time. When I finally got it, the pedal wasn't working which was heartbreaking. When I tried to contact them, it took five days before I actually got a hold of someone. And, of course, they never made things right in the end. They never returned any of my calls, yet were able to send two emails asking for me to leave positive feedback for them on Amazon. They are crooks and you will be throwing your money away if you order from them. This a great pedal for all genres of music... just DON'T BUY FROM ZORRO SOUNDS!!!

Not much to say. Knew what it does and it delivered. Been using MXR since the early 80’s. Never got a bad product

I really like the pedal, the sound, even the look of it is awesome. I was disappointed in how it was shipped. The sticking flap from it's shipping envelope was folded in and stuck to the collectable EVH box. This caused the envelope to be wide open. Luckily everything was still inside. However the EVH box was badly damaged. For well over $100 I expected better. I careful removed the sticky envelope flap from the box and the EVH box design was destroyed. Pedal seems okay, wish I'd just bought this from my local music store or Sweetwater instead. I could send it back but didn't. Kind of irritated.

Nice pedal but didn’t work on my pedal board.

Does EXACTLY what it should, helps nail Eddie's EARLY tone... ***NOTE*** it took a lot of config changing, searching online etc... to find, but do yourself a favor, put this in front of your preamp, not in the effects loop, and before your distortion in the chain. I know this sounds the exact opposite to the advice everyone gives for effect chains, and what order everything should go in. In the FX loop it is WAY too treble-ly, and sounds nothing like Van Halen. Eddie does not use the FX loop on his amp (at least never did during the first 5 or so albums), so when he was using the phaser, and relying on amp distortion, he was running this in the pre-amp, pre-distortion. Kick this on as you break into a VH solo, and you hear the magic came through. Very subtle but NAILS it. If you are after a Phaser for a 'Mayonaise' (Smashing Pumpkins tone) look for another pedal with more low end. This one shines in replicating early Van Halen.

The EVH-90 is an absolute favorite of mine. I really like the red black and white stripes. Makes it iconic. If anyone wants that EVH tone, definitely grab this phase 90. A bit pricey, but that's just what signature models are

左上のスクリプトボタンを押し込まない状態でPHASE90のブロックモデル、押し込んだ状態でスクリプトモデルのエフェクトが得られるとこのことで、派手にかけたいとき、あっさりかけたいとき、それぞれに対応できるのがとてもよいです。これまで74クラシックを使用していましたが、ライブ演奏だとエフェクトが浅すぎて物足りませんでしたので、本EHVを購入してよかったです。なお、エフェクトON/OFFの音量変化、歪は素人の自分には問題ないレベルでした。また、エフェクトONのときに青色LEDが点灯するのは助かるのですが、少々眩しいのでテープでも貼っておこうと思っています。

Leider unhandlich und funktioniert nicht

pues aún no lo toco (me llegó hoy a mi trabajo) pero debe sonar muy bien (o

A criticism sometimes levelled at this Phaser pedal is that it is more expensive than the MXR block or script versions. The reason for this is simple, this EVH version is BOTH of those pedals in one. You are not paying extra for the paint job and endorsement you are paying for the versatility of two different Phaser sounds available to you in one. The script button swaps between the two different types. With only one control knob it may look at first glance to be low on features but rotating said control knob makes a huge difference to your sound and with the included control knob cover you can alter the setting level with your foot, a simple but really useful feature. I use this pedal before the overdrive (high gain) in my pedal chain with a relatively low setting (around 8 o'clock) In script mode and it sounds fantastic. The articulate way this pedal responds to your playing style gives it an 'organic' feel, clear and warm, harmonic, it becomes an integral part of the sound you already have even at relatively high settings, the sound is natural and musical. There really are no bad sounds within this pedals settings every sound is usable throughout its whole range your style and preference will dictate how you use it and not the limitations of the pedal and with the aforementioned foot cover on the control knob you can make level changes mid song, to go from soaring lead to whooshing special effects then right back again. Who should buy this pedal? Anyone playing any style of music wanting a good quality natural sounding phaser. This is not just for metal, although rest assured it does that style to perfection. Who shouldn't buy this pedal? If you try out an MXR script Phaser and an MXR block Phaser (the orange coloured ones) and are 100% sure you will only ever want to use the sound of whichever of those you prefer then you could save a few quid and buy only that version. I probably will only use the script setting on my EVH but for around £30 extra when compared to the price of a new script version, at the push of a button I have access to all the great sounds available in the block version as well, for me that was a no brainer but the choice is yours, what I know for sure is you will never regret owning this EVH version even if you only set it to one setting and never alter it again you will always know the other settings are there if you need them.
