MXR Phase 90 – My New Guitar Pedal

June 4th, 2008 by Connor McBrine-Ellis | 6 Comments | Filed in Non-Tech, Older Posts, Reviews

Hey everybody!!! I am really excited because I just got a brand new guitar pedal!!!

It is an MXR Phase 90 by Dunlop. (Or MXR, Dunlop makes MXR). MXR is a very nice and reliable brand, and the sound is AMAZING!!! This pedal retains all of the tone of your guitar and amp, and just adds this watery, warbley, crisp sounding effect. Plus I mix this pedal with my Palomino V16 Class A Tube Amp (With Groove Tubes) and the sound is like you hear off of some Van Halen and Pink Floyd recordings!

This pedal has only one knob, to adjust for speed, but seriously, this is all it needs! It is a very simple set up, in a very sturdy metal box. It is a very impressive stomp-box, and when you adjust the settings on your amp, and your guitar, you can make this thing really sing.

I seriously would recommend to any who play guitar (or bass, or vocals, because this pedal sounds amazing with those too!) to check it out and buy it! Its usual price is around $80, but I got it for a sweet deal for only $68! MXR is an awesome brand with pedals that retain the sound of your amp, and not make it sound like something it’s not. I will be getting many more MXR pedals in the future. IT ROCKS!!!

(Also, this pedal is great for solos, especially when you turn on distortion and reverb, and you can sound like “Aint Talkin’ Bout Love” and “Eruption” and even great tones like “Speak to Me/Breathe” and “Wish You Were Here”) (Turn down the speed on this pedal and it makes chords awesome! Perfect for rhythm guitar as well!)

Rock on!
