MXR EVH Phase 90 Review
MXR EVH Phase 90 Review
The EVH phase 90 pedal is a simple pedal with only one knob and one button and is very easy to use. It is essentially two phasers in one: the standard block-logo Phase 90, and the vintage 70's script-logo phaser, the button marked 'Script' switches between two phase sounds, one subtle and one more pronounced however the difference is not overly drastic.
From my experience with the pedal I think sounds best in the guitar chain rather than in the FX loop but this may just be a matter of preference. The reason that some may buy this pedal is to sound like EVH and with the script button pressed and the knob at around 9 or 10 o'clock it's a very convincing early Van Halen tone.
It is a compact pedal that takes up little room on any pedalboard but you will know it's there because the blue LED light is super bright. The build quality is very good, it's built like a small tank and best of all the EVH paint job looks really cool.
I use a power supply to power the pedal (not included) but if you intend on using batteries you may find it annoying removing the screws to get at the battery compartment.
Overall a great sounding phaser that is very hard to fault.

Totally happy, previus phaser small stone...
Εxcellent phaser pedal, I play my evh riffs very nicely, the construction is incredible and very beautifully designed, it belongs to the category that you simply get what you pay for! before that I had the elextro harmonix small stone it stood very well!

Great
A good phase, put dial at about 9 o clock and you got that sweet EVH overdrive sound together with a distorted signal ofcourse.

MXR EVH
An essential piece of kit for any Van Halen fan sounds just like the man himself. Great build quality and really simple to use, really good for just a touch of Uni vibe Leslie sounds if set just right. As always with MXR great build quality and will take anything you throw at it.
