    The one u missed: Super Badass. Great tone. 3band EQ. What's not to like.

    I’ve had a bunch of different Phase 90’s and even a Phase 100 (in the late 70’s). I bought a Phase 95 (mini) about 6 months ago and it blows me away.
    Great video, Phillip!

  • @SocksworthRiffs
    @SocksworthRiffs 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I used to own an MXR Jimi Hendrix Experience Fuzz, and I loved it, that was a very long time ago, but I still think about it all the time!

  • @ipinhalves1540

    echoplex preamp it's a must have for me, love that led tone, and this help a lot...

  • @jray5363
    @jray5363 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for the video Phil! As a beginner, (for years), pedals have always been a mystery. I never would have looked at some of those because of the non-descriptive names. It’s nice to hear them in action with someone that knows how to use them. Thanks!

    I can’t believe you overlooked the Dunlop Echoplex with it’s added tape warble over the Carbon Copy Bright.

    • @FrancoisCantine

      +1 on that! This is my favorite one!

  • @craignesbitt7856
    @craignesbitt7856 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If I remember right the Custom Badass 78 Distortion is MXR's take on the DS-1 (which came out in 1978) with the LED mod (Crunch) that you could toggle on and off.
    I love mine and run the gain low (9-10 o'clock) and run a gain boost that I toggle on and off for more or less "loud" with my Vox

  • @robd754
    @robd754 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    had lotsa MXRs, got rid of most of them for various reasons..but the 401 line driver/boost will always remain one of my favs.. just adds goodness to every amp..one knob, one button, one love..

  • @whatidoissecret28
    @whatidoissecret28 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    the 78 distortion was my first pedal ever and I still use it all these years later, I always feel like it's an overlooked pedal from MXR but one of their best imo. I just learned this recently but apparently it is based off of the boss ds-1 which came out in 78 hence the name (specifically it is supposed to be based off the keeley mod ds-1)

  • @simonfreer9076
    @simonfreer9076 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    My old yellow distortion + has not left my board since the mid 90's.
    Add to that the carbon copy.....
    Those are my only 2 favorites. Had a few others. Sold them. Got a phase90 but it rarely is in my chain

  • @mattharrison4238

  • @DirtyTractorDr
    @DirtyTractorDr 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I recently got the MXR Full Bore Metal, and is one of the best distortion pedals I've owned.

  • @kentissue2215
    @kentissue2215 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have 15 pedals currently at my feet (Crybaby and Whammy are off board) and only two of them are MXR...Carbon Copy and Analogue Chorus. Both serve me very well. Thanks for the vid!

  • @tomprice3258
    @tomprice3258 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    My old original mustard coloured MXR distortion + is a fave. Combined with a clean overdrive and the magic happens.

  • @Ben59910
    @Ben59910 3 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @TheGuitarPit
    @TheGuitarPit 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I love the carbon copy...hard to beat for the price.

  • @devilsdoorbell
    @devilsdoorbell 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Diggin' that blue box. Even the weird sounds it makes.

  • @BillMellow
    @BillMellow 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The il torino is worth every penny. I was lucky to snag mine when Sweetwater was clearing them out for $70. It's by far my favourite pedal.

  • @1961jscofield

  • @wadecourtney8958
    @wadecourtney8958 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I tried a few Phase 90 pedals, the EVH, the script logo, the block logo & I decided on the Zakk Wylde Phase 90. To me it sounded a little darker with a more pronounced sweep which is good for me cmbecause I use it with bass along with a MXR Black Label chorus, a MXR Blowtorch overdrive with boost, a MXR bass D.I.+distortion, A Dunlap 105Q bass Wah & a Dunlop volume pedal

  • @michaelbogris1185

  • @bradhargis2261
    @bradhargis2261 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had a carbon copy bright for years and gigged with it regularly. It was my favorite delay pedal. Stopped gigging, then sold it to fund the purchase of the horizon devices flux echo.
    I miss my carbon copy bright.

  • @dwtn81

    Blue Box. Bit crushing is dope! 😉

  • @gerryloughran1676

    Great stuff its the Torino for me Red boost is super...cool

  • @BillyMoonMan
    @BillyMoonMan 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Mxr classic 108. It's a fuzz face without the crap. Buffer really helps with putting pedals in front of it. Boosting it with a bd -2 right now. Awesome! But then again you have to like fuzz.

    • @davidozab2753
      @davidozab2753 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Want to check out the mini version.

  • @Manuortizp

  • @81ghale
    @81ghale 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've not gotten around to checking out reviews of the Torino drive, but have been meaning to because my local shop has one for I think 60 or 70 bucks. Definitely going to go snag that thing this weekend! Thanks Phil, you always seem to come through lol.

  • @markaochoa2017
    @markaochoa2017 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    My top current mxr favorites are probably the reverb 3000, carbon copy deluxe and the dyna comp mini. I can play all day with that

  • @KRAZEEIZATION
    @KRAZEEIZATION 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I ran out and bought the Phase 90, Micro Chorus, Dyna Comp, Distortion + and the Micro Amp which is a great clean boost. I must grab a Blue Box next!

  • @gregebersole2691
    @gregebersole2691 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have the '78 custom badass. Love it for some Bon Scott era AC/DC tones. I have to check out the video of the Boss pedals.

  • @chrstopherthomas6952
    @chrstopherthomas6952 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cool video man. The pedals are cool but I love that guitar. That's the exact fender I want. I have 3 Squier strats 3 Jackson guitars a B.C. Rich mockingbird and a off brand P bass. ( a Galveston, it's actually really nice. ).

  • @jbognap

    Phil, this is the first time I've heard you use a Deluxe Reverb. Can compare and contrast with the SuperSonic and the HRDlx?

  • @amitsapir2

    Also, you forgot the Super custom bad ass OD

  • @VincentPriceknives
    @VincentPriceknives 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Phil!! I bought the Boss Katana 100 to get the advantage of having all of Boss' effects but I cant seem to ever get the sound I want like I would with individual pedals. What advice do you have on the Katana?

  • @jezmez68
    @jezmez68 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    That Blue Box is great with output at 10, and the Blend around 3:00. Pretty sure that's the Jimmy Page "Fool in the Rain" solo setting. I love that sound. It's cool to play pedal steel like notes with that setting.

  • @thomasberinati3380
    @thomasberinati3380 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Phil . So I have the I’ll Diavolo pedal. I know it has a switch for symmetrical , assymetrcial clipping and no clipping but what drives is it trying to emulate? And what drives are the Il Torino emulating? Thanks . I also have the fet driver. Great pedal

  • @brianyarbrough1720
    @brianyarbrough1720 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    The Phase 100 and the Dynacomp were major pedals for me growing up. I still use a Dynacomp

  • @sixstrings4568
    @sixstrings4568 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Phil, how many pedals on average do you think a typical guitar player owns? I have around 12 but I'm not sure if that's average or well below average. Just curious.

  • @macdonny
    @macdonny ปีที่แล้ว

    I have the distortion III, and the super badass distortion on my pedal board. They both sound great! I use the III for a heavy classic rock sound, and the badass for more modern sounds. The III has huge output, and the badass has a great eq!

  • @Josbornevonosborne
    @Josbornevonosborne 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So jealous of that workshop area

  • @jessevassallo
    @jessevassallo 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Big fan of these top 10 videos. I would change the il torino and the 5150 for the micro amp and the 10 band eq.

  • @jasonlewis2483
    @jasonlewis2483 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Do you think MXR will ever come out with their own version of the Boss ME-80?

  • @Polyphemus.
    @Polyphemus. 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I amassed a fairly sizable collection of MXRs from my days working in music shops. 24 at last count, even after selling a couple. I have most of the ones shown here. The Blue Box was my first, and still a fave. Along with the '78, Carbon Copy, Echoplex Pre, Univibe and La Machine, I'd add the Analog Chorus, Bass Octave Deluxe, Sub Machine and Phase 99 to my top ten.

  • @SneedyKetler
    @SneedyKetler 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’m glad they started reissuing the Phase 45 after many years OOP. It’s only 2-stage phasing, so it sounds a little different than the Phase 90, more forgiving to edge-of-breakup tones… definitely an unsung pedal.

  • @right2armbears685

  • @flynn_22

  • @alcarnor2506
    @alcarnor2506 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    That power supply looks huge for a powerblock. I’m looking for one that can provide 12v and 9v at the same time as my Rockboard only does 9v. Any suggestions?

  • @cyb3r3vil30
    @cyb3r3vil30 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My two only favorite MXR is Dime Distortion and compressor pedal
    As you like Boss I have Mega Distortion I hate it my love is with EHX and old ROSS pedals

  • @telesandstrats3297
    @telesandstrats3297 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have the MXR analog chorus and love it! Wouldn't have another chorus.

  • @rickeguitar9086
    @rickeguitar9086 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    How about the Distortion +? That was my first distortion pedal. MXR made some really neat pedals and were solid in their construction.

  • @uwwdelta
    @uwwdelta 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I run two of the mxr custom badass modified overdrive pedals. One I run with very little gain to boost my Peavey jsx. The second one I run with a moderate amount of gain on a clean Channel much like you would use a distortion pedal.

  • @tokoulli1
    @tokoulli1 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Interested to know what mods you have on that deluxe reverb. Care to share, Phillip?

  • @Setright230
    @Setright230 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    It was a great review I do lean toward the original carbon copy custom as if open the back you do have two dip switches, that G Tripps does do on a few pedals lol. I’m surprised being a few OD you didn’t add the Fet especially the custom shop one. As a blues a that with a blues driver or tube screamer original 808. You can really thicken up some lead on single or humbucker. But even play with some rythym. It’s a little under looked as it’s the pedal that I’ve found with some valve distortion going can shape it or alone clean is transparent but gives this slight change for fullness. But I’d love to know what u have done to your 65 Deluxe. The valve truck on my hot rod was a fantastic cheap improvement to that amp. But you 65 sounded nice so would be great. Do you use any keeley pedals, love the 4 knob Comp he does and if still doing the first of what I call Jimi in a box with a added pedal. You Can have octave vibe and change it’s got the fuzz the wah but all slight adjustable for if play around and sit with a piece paper can set for different yrs of his tone. A cheap extension pedal it is really amazing.

  • @davedger

  • @LightningDogg
    @LightningDogg 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    My favorite, the only MXR I own, is the Carbon Copy "dark". I don't really get the same impression you get, but you've forgotten more than I know about guitar sounds. I just like it.☺

  • @samruhman1555

  • @wayneharrod9363
    @wayneharrod9363 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    No love for the m75 super badass distortion or the classic overdrive (with the secret switch inside that does either ts or zakk wylde (boss sd1) ?? I love my EVH phase 90 too..blessings bro.

  • @bluesvertigo3961
    @bluesvertigo3961 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Carbon Copy Deluxe by far!! It includes both the original CC and the CC Bright, plus a bit of additional delay time, modulation and an expression pedal jack.
    Also Phase 95 since it also includes 45 and 90 in both Script and the nonscript (?) circuits.

  • @DevilMayAsian
    @DevilMayAsian 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love my Micro Amp. Adds a nice thickness to my clean and a touch of girth on my dirty. It stays on most of the time. It's my secret weapon.

  • @TheTurkey79
    @TheTurkey79 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The '78 Distortion is a reference to the OG Boss DS-1 :)

  • @GonzoCaster
    @GonzoCaster 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    The MXR Fullbore Metal and the 10 band EQ are the BEST for metal players \\m//. If tried every metal distortion (ProCo,EHX , Mesa Boogie, Boss,Empress,Marshall, Emma,...). Active EQ with scoop option and noise gate.Just the volume Knob alone is the best booster i've ever used.

  • @williamthomas4125
    @williamthomas4125 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    For MXR pedals I use the Blue Box, Analog Chorus and the Micro Amp.

  • @ericfranco6336
    @ericfranco6336 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you use the EVH 5150 Overdrive with a Marshall using a crunch tone, set the pedal like you wold usually set a Tubescreamer (low gain, high level) and it will produce an awesome "brown sound" distortion.
