This Phase 90 nails that classic Van Halen swirl, delivering a raw and energetic vibe. It's straightforward – one knob, two distinct voices – making it perfect for players chasing that 'eruption' tone or wanting a quick dose of 80s shred. While it’s not the most versatile phaser out there, it’s a killer choice for rock and hard rock players.

Product Description

MXR EVH Phase 90, Phaser Effects UnitThe MXR EVH Phase 90 can be heard in the classic Van Halen guitar style. This is how Eddie Van Halen "spiced up" his legendary Lead sound, especially on the early records. This can clearly be heard in his parade solo on "eruption".

There is, of course, only one control with which the speed of the phasing can be adjusted, everything else is set so that a really pleasant, never too intrusive effect can be achieved.

Special feature: The script switch allows the player to switch between the vintage "Script Logo" or the more modern and aggressive "Block Logo" phaser sound.

  • Designed with Edward Van Halen
  • Switchable vintage and modern voicings
  • Very stable housing
  • Eddie's typical red-white-black striped appearance
  • Metal footswitch
  • Speed control
  • Script switch (allows you to switch between the vintage "Script Logo" or the more modern and aggressive "Block Logo" phaser sound.)
  • 1 Input
  • 1 Output
