MXR EVH Phase 90

I took Gelato's recommendation and picked one of these up. Shame he never warned me I'd need to wear a welding helmet to look at it when it's on... BRIGHT LIGHT!

Sounds damn fine nonetheless, it only has one dial and a switch (toggles between modern and vintage phase tone) but can crank out a variety of whacked-out sounds. Lovely.

Glad you like it mate

Oh yeah, don't look directly at the light when it's on, it's really, really, stupidly bright

But how cool is that? Seriously.

Yeah that LED is whack (in a cool way). I like it big time and the sound of course. I was looking into one of those BOSS PH whatevers but they are way too complicated and sound over the top. This is a very organic sounding pedal. Where do you guys have it in your chain. I have it directly after my crybaby. I did have it in front but prefer it after once I AB'd it.

At the moment I have mine after my 3 overdrive/distortion pedals

, and before my delay. My effects loop is playing up, so I'm breaking all the rules by putting delay in front of the amp

Still sounds OK to me though...

I might need a bigger pedalboard for that

But I need to keep it there just in case Eddie relapses, and they need me to fill in for him on the Van Halen tour

theres always that possibility, but how are you going to do that without a fuzz?

I've got mine chained thusly - tuner>OD>phaser>chorus>delay>amp. Yes, the front of the amp.

Cool pedal.
