PHASE 90

$99.99Reference price

MXR's signature phaser pedal, introduced in 1974. Its simple single-SPEED-knob layout ranges from slow, smooth modulation to fast, Leslie-like swirl. Known as an essential part of Eddie Van Halen's sound, it has been used widely, from funk rhythm playing to hard rock.

The definitive phaser since 1974

MXR's classic phaser pedal. Since its debut in 1974, it has stayed at the feet of guitarists across every genre.

Tone shaping with a single SPEED knob

The only control is a SPEED knob that sets the modulation rate. Low settings give smooth, deep movement, while higher settings bring bold, psychedelic fast sweeps, reaching sounds reminiscent of a Leslie speaker. Because it adds movement without disturbing the core tone, it suits rhythm and lead alike.

A standard across genres

Known as an essential element of Eddie Van Halen's sound, its warm character has been used everywhere from funk rhythm work to hard rock.
