Dunlop M101 Phase 90 Effects Pedal

Product Information

By late 1974, MXR had introduced other pedals, including the Blue Box octave fuzz, Distortion+ and Dyna Comp compressor. Toward the end of the same year, the Phase 45 was released, followed by the Phase 100 in 1975. The JF 06 Vintage Phase pedal is similar in design to the MXR Phase 90. The most obvious difference being it comes with a smaller price tag! THE industry Standard Phaser FX Pedal for guitar, the Phase 90 takes you from subtle, spatial shimmer to all-out high velocity swooshing with the twist of a knob. Whether you want to trip in 60s Psychedelia, Machine Gun with Hendrix, or nail Van Halen's Eruption, you need the Phase 90 in your pedal collection!

Electro-Harmonix has some of its own smashes in terms of historical pedals, particularly the Big Muff Pi fuzz pedal from the late 60s and the world’s first flanger stomp. It’s preferable to match your phaser’s speed with the tempo of the song, which can be achieved through tap tempo or MIDI. This enables coordination of the exact speed. A phaser isn’t just for chords, though, and the staccato effect from Jimi Hendrix’s Machine Gun is a classic example. Phasing is also used to boost a signal for individual lead notes, without adding distortion. Phaser pedals are a favorite of guitarists worldwide. Whether searching for screeching 80’s tones or just looking to add a bit of dimension to your clean playing, a good phaser is a worthwhile addition to any guitarist’s collection.Similarly, using a small amount on a clean guitar riff can work wonders and add more dimension to your playing. If your guitar parts are pretty sparse, then an increased rate can create lush-sounding, watery effects that can make your playing warmer and more enjoyable. Different amounts of phase shift stages create a varying phased sound. A digital phaser pedal often has four, eight, 10, or 12 stages, recreating a variety of phased sounds. Alternatively, an analog phaser usually has fewer phase stage settings and therefore less variety, because additional stages require more components - most classic '70s phasers use four stages. What should I look for in a phaser pedal?

Aguilar’s transducers, preamplifiers, processors, treatments, and enclosures were designed for bass players. For instance, because the preset speeds slope toward one another, the machine’s full flexibility cannot be experienced until the switches are manually adjusted.There are a lot of phaser pedals out there and while not all of them are a good fit for the bass guitar there are a ton that are. Then Nirvana happened in the early 90s, and suddenly all effects were out except for overdrive and distortion. I’m exaggerating of course, but by that point, the phased sounds were starting to get played out, and people wanted something new. While the humble phaser is a relatively simple effect, it does come in various forms, and it can get a little confusing when you are trying to decide which is the right stompbox for you. The Phaser 45 seems to be a delight to use right away, thanks to its compactness and pleasant, tuneful nature.

The settings, including attention in development and a button to switch among two- or four-stage sequencing, are included in the other models by MXR. In 2021, emulating circuits with digital technology is a piece of cake. Digital pedals offer a wider range of features and, to most, will sound indistinguishable from their analog counterparts, though some will argue they are not as ‘warm’. The Phaser 95 contains 45/90 switches that switch among Phaser 45 (red Light) as well as Phaser 90 (blue Lighting) settings, a Script switch that turns off input from the circuitry, and a single small speed knob for effect rate adjustment. The pedal is powered by a Dunlop nine-volt adaptor that is provided. PerformanceVery briefly a phaser pedal works by creating phase shifts in a waveform, then mixing this signal with the dry input to create notches in the frequency spectrum. The control knobs are simple and easy to use, meaning you can get loads of great tones with minimal effort. The controls can be a little confusing if you’ve just bought a phaser pedal. It’s easy to crank everything up to maximum SWOOSH but getting to know these controls can help sculpt your tone: Dunlop acquired the MXR brand in 1987, and has released several reissue renditions of the Phase 90 and other MXR favorites, as well as modernized phasers that pay homage to the original circuit, with conveniences such as contemporary DC power inputs, LED indicator lights and true-bypass switching.
