- In this video, I'll show you why I think the MXR Phase 90 is the most versatile single pedal ever built. With just one knob and an $80 price tag, this pedal is like having 5 effects in one, which is handy for smaller pedalboards.

Super helpful pedal tutorail
Very good.
@@adamkhan5932Slow phase and fast phase are both phase.
I’ve never seen this guy but I can’t stop thinking about how he kinda looks like an alternate universe version of Adam Driver
i was just thinking that
Don't insult Jamie like that.
More Adam Friedland imo
Or Barbara Streisand
It's like a 50/50 between Adam Driver and Josh Groban. All whilst being a solid review...
Ridiculously tight playing man! Great demo!
Thank you!
One of most creative and inspiring pedal demos I’ve seen. Has motivated me to get mine out again. Cheers
Thank you for watching!
@@JameyArent Had it going this morning for the first time in a while. Cheers for the inspiration!
Very impressed with how you got that "Hendrix at Woodstock" sound (4:16)!
Thanks! A little Marshall style distortion plus phaser can get pretty close when you don't have your Uni-Vibe on you!
I took my phaser off my pedal board, I was not really using it that much. After watching this it went back on again. Great video.
Looks like I need that pedal now
This is such a great video thank you. Yes, OBVIOUSLY you're not saying these sounds are emulations of the respective "real deals". But this is an incredibly eye-opening demo of how many usable "near enough" sounds you can get from this. I need more of this content in my life, and less endless pedal demos that just feed my tragic dopamine GAS loop buying pedals which I never learn the full capabilities of (including this one). I'd be so much better a musician (and a slightly less broke one) if I had five pedals which I'd totally mastered incorporating into actual music, rather than 50 that I only use for one thing each (or don't use at all).
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful. I feel the same way!
Awesome pedal. Years ago I had a Phase 90 and a Phase 100. Both were great pedals. MXR was built like a tank.
Excellent demo! I agree 100% I am still blown away by how many sounds I can get out of my MXR Phase 90 when it only has one knob!! I use it in place of my flanger most of the time now I do love my RetroVibe by Jam Pedals & use that a lot but I do still use the Phase 90 for some "Univib-ish" stuff from the 1970s I know there are other Phase Pedals out there with more options, etc... but why not start with the best & it is under $100 I bought mine new last year for $75. Almost every guitar legend has this pedal on their board. You mentioned Eddie Van Halen & he even put out his customized Phase 90 that is a little more expensive if that is something a person might be interested in. Dave Gilmour used this pedal A LOT especially in the 1970s but it has always been on his board. This is a great addition to any pedalboard & y will not be disappointed.
I really appreciate it when players like you provide reviews!
Awesome! I love the Phase 90 too, and I use it as my only modulation pedal. It works as a solo boost to kick on for a little extra interest for a solo too, in any of these modes.
Great video, just gone down the route of using a phaser in a classic rock cover band and this has helped immensely. Thanks
What a demo! Thanks man!
One of the best pedal presentations on TH-cam...THANKS!
Thank you!
amazing video, convinced me in getting the pedal
Really great demo!! Short, to the point, and well done!
Thank you!
Sweet sounds on all those settings!
I had been looking at DOD phasers cuz I used to have one and really liked it, but after seeing how well this unit works, I believe I'm gonna save alot of cash and go with the MXR 90!! Thanks for your demo and helping me to make up my mind, lolol!!
Glad it was helpful!
@@JameyArent is this pedal 100mA or more
@@indicaman4205 Nope, It doesn't even use 10ma, more like 8ma I belive
I have read that the MXR Phase 90 was the pedal that Robin Trower used on Bridge of Sighs
I imagine if you throw a chorus pedal on top of the vibe setting it can get even closer. I need to put mine back on the board! I always felt it was not much use for anything else but the VH sweep but saw a few years back that Doug Aldrich was using this pedal exactly for the odd vibe sound he wanted on his small travel board.
Really informative..great demo! I didn't know all of these sounds resided in those little phase 90s!
Great demo and awesome playing! Thanks
Thanks!
That was absolutely brilliant buddy. Great playing and ingenious.
Thank you!
One of the most useful gear demos ever!
Very helpful video, thanks!
Just bought one today and this video made me more than fired up to play it.
Great demo! I just got a phase 95 and I’m definitely doing to try out that Leslie sound on the bluesier stuff
Thank you! I've been trying to figure out if I need a phaser, flanger, chorus, vibe... all the above? This video is a great help
First pedal I ever bought. Still my favorite, maybe behind my blues driver
Great vid. Didn’t realize what I’ve been missing.
Thanks!
Excellent vid. Thank you.
Good stuff. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
The Hendrix style part sounded fantastic! I might well grab one of these...
Awesome video. Keep up the awesome work.
Thanks!
Fave vid I’ve seen in a while! Great content and approach. Sweet playing also!
Thank you!
Nice playing and great tone. Thanks.
Thanks!
Awesome vibes!🤘🏾💯🔥🔥
Great job with this review.
Awesome. Thank you!
Great demo of all the sounds you can get out of a phase 90. I like the script more than the block logo because it’s more subtle. I had the 74’ vintage reissue but the bypass wasn’t the greatest so I foolishly got rid of it. I just picked up the csp101 sl and it sounds very close to the 74’. Phase and flanger are my favorites at the moment.
Thanks
beautiful guitar , perfect combo
That was amaaaazing, thx!
Perfect. Well done! I have a huge phaser pedal from the 70s but it's too big for the board!
greatest phaser ever. Not even the clones sound like it
Lately, I've been wanting a uni vibe and realised a phaser could get extremely close. MXR Phase 45 and 90 are the way to go, and as you said, then some. Kinda skint lately, so I traded for a KMISE Phase 90 clone and it does the job nicely. I'll still be getting a Phase 95 since it does both 45 and 90 script or block letter versions all in one pedal.
The KMISE is so good in my opinion, I'll keep it for later when I do a mini pedal affordaboard.
Almost, the univibes tremolo is activated by a photocell which makes more of a wavy type of sound than the swirly sounds a phaser can do.
What a good demo !!! Outstanding info. It make me suscribe.
Thank you!
Ok thank you very much my friend this really helped me to use my phase 95 mini as a chorus uni vibe Leslie etc. amazing playing to my friend
Great rhythm playing on a tele! Awesome pedal.
Nice work!
Now I'm shure to buy this one. Great vid !!
Thanks!
Great video, Thanks!
You make a great demo!
Thanks!
Great video! I subscribed. Thanks so much !!
Thank you!
Great lesson, ideal for intermediate guitarists; I can mimic your exercises as a tweak my MXR P90.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful
Easily most practical phaser demo!
Thanks!
You have a beautiful tone here, even before the phase effect.
Thank you!
Great stuff!
Thanks!
great vid! I learned a few things
Thanks!
I was wondering about the guitar sounds of Big Star and I think this is the key. Very nice insights. Thank you.
I appreciate the funk playing
Good video and nice playing
Thank you!
100 % agree have felt same for decades.
Awesome vid dude.
Thanks!
That was a Great Video Thank You!!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
@@JameyArent Can you do a video on Funk strumming. Youre really good at it
@@hockeyman2274 Thanks! I did a video on funk rhythm playing a few months ago. Here's the link! th-cam.com/video/yEKghUcgm74/w-d-xo.html
@@JameyArent Thank you
Great video!
Thanks!
love vids like this.
This is is the more modern day version of the “script” phase 90, with the led indicator. Great demo! This thing sounds better than I thought it would. I love all the sounds you were getting on this unit. A true test would be a comparison with an original ‘74 script unit, double coil guitar, and high drive amp. AKA the “EVH” test. I would really like to hear how this more current unit handles those tones.
There are comparisons here on YT. The originals sound more syrupy but often have a limited speed range. They also are not true bypass and only work with a battery, which is a major hassle in the age of pedalboards. This video is just great at highlighting how your live board doesn't need to be gigantic. Our bedroom/studio tone goes out the window the moment we step on a stage. Better focus on playing well than tap dancing on a myriad of pedals.
That was great!
Very cool very helpful.
dope playing!
Thanks!
Great video! I have that same pedal and now how some ideas to use
Thanks!
Great tonee! But damn even greater funk playing! I need to practice that strumming 😫
Thanks!
Wow. This was my least used pedal. Until now Lol awesome vid!! Ya saved me some $$
3:32-4:00
GREAT playing, considering checking out this pedal
3:33
This guy is a cartoon character.....!
Awesome video
I bet a phaser with a tight delay and a compressor you could get that Andy Summers tone. I run one into an octave fuzz, with a touch of delay for solos you get a nice almost early pumpkins tone, but if you roll back the volume you get that pink floyd thing. You are spot on this is a very versatile pedal, depending on where its in the chain can really change it around too.
This is a case of someone who knows what they are doing and gets the best out of what they’ve got. Well done young man but don’t give too many of the pro secrets away excellent lol 👍
haha noted! Thank you so much.
Este pedal debería tener un level. Con eso sería perfecto.
I use MXR Pase 95. I get both styles - the script and the block print logo for even more versatility.
I have the Phase 95 and love it even more for the versatility. Also, can't go wrong with it's tiny size!
Best looking tele ever !
Great video
Thanks!
If your down sizing, my tip is probably not the way but... I feel that mxr's most versatile phaser is actually the phase 100. Unless the 95 can go as fast as the 100. The 95 is a mini size from mxr too. Either is possibly most versatile besides a matter of taste. My heart lives with the phase 100 tho, for the kind of player I am. An mxr phaser will never not be a staple on my board!
really flexing that analog man petal
Sick ass funk and rhythms!!
Very neat.
Unbelievable video!
Thanks!
Probably the playing skill is what makes the pedal versatile!
Must get one!
For Drives a Rat has a lot
of range
Very good video. I am just expecting mail to bring my brand new pedal home. Your video gave me grest ideas. Cannot wait to get plugged in.
Awesome! Glad the video was helpful.
I’d love to see a video about your telecaster !
Great idea! Long story short, its a 2004 American Standard Telecaster but with added Lollar pickups and Glendale bridge/saddles.
@@JameyArent sounds fantastic !
Here I was thinking of selling my Phase 90 script… thank-you!
Been on my board for a long time
now i need 1 😊
I would check out the the Phase 95 I think it’s near the same price but the phase 95 has two buttons for a bit more tweaking .
Agreed! I love my Phase 95 as seen at the 1:00 mark in the video. The script/block button and 45/90 button make it even more versatile!
I grabbed a clone of this, the Joyo Vintage Phase, and it's *far* too much fun for the $20 I paid for it!
I'd say turned all the way up sounds more like a classic univibe sound. maybe sort of mimics a fast leslie sound, but it's def a bit harsh for rotary.
Wow this is a super useful video! I rarely use this pedal and just randomly searched up videos on it and I’m glad I found this! Def gonna be using it a lot more now
Great funk player !!!!
just got mine 2 hours ago, i plan on it being a permanent on my board.
