MXR Phase 45

[TheLyreGuy]

Hell yeah Sex pistols.

[funkeemon]

SKIN TIGHT

[gobetom]

Can somebody please tell me the name the song that starts at 3:28?

[sgpage]

Hey, what's that song from 1:44, more in particular the chord work from 2:00? Thanks!

[AvonJunkies]

It's really more similar to a vibe tone than a phaser but brighter I think, balls, guess I have to buy it

[RafoRamone]

Andy, you gotta be my uncle. There would be a reason for visiting you every day :D

[tuuexx]

Yeah PISTOLS !-oi oi oi !

[Eddieguitarloebs]

I've always used a phase 90,i'm thinking it would be nice to have a 45 also to get some phase that's a little more subtle!

[flangerdeluxe]

Damn! There was some Rollins Band in there!

[nymetsrock]

@flangerdeluxe where

[44eelz]

i really dont like the phrase limited edition

[RamonZarete]

Any chance of comparative review of MXR script RI 74 ph90 vs 75 ph45 at a range of speed settings? Tvm and keep up the great demos

[evilvon]

Rollins Band!!!!!

[raphaelbianchi]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeey maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan slooooooooooooow doooooown

[spaaarky21]

How does this compare to the EHX Small Stone? I have a Small Stone Nano but I hate how much the volume varies. The highs can get very loud so I feel like I'm always trying to match how hard I pick with where the filter is in its cycle. A compressor helps but I don't think I should need one just to make the pedal usable.

[poiiocipres]

Anarchy in the U.K. !!!!!!!!!

[0adireita]

buy a vintage behringer phaser...much better

[coolguy4sho]

what amp were you using?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@coolguy4sho A Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue is our demo amp of choice lately. Thanks,

-PGS Crew

[coolguy4sho]

@ProGuitarShopDemos thanks for the quick response. i have the script with the led but im not sure im liking the plump mids it creates with my marshall 71 superlead....it seems to add mids and doesnt feel as open or bright as i had hoped. is the script handwired better at this without the mid or slight muffled thing im hearing? please help? thanks guys you rock!

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@coolguy4sho Phase 90's will add midrange, that's what they do. The Block logo adds even more so if you're not happy with the Script, I'd go with something like the Blackout Whetstone or Retro Sonic Phaser which let's you blend in the effect signal. Good luck!

-PGS

[ntrbluesx]

Just bought one. Absolutely love it too!

[ShimmyDigg]

cuz iiiiiiiiiii wannnaaa beeeeeeee anarcheeeeeey!

[christocaster]

What your preference after or before the Od?

thanks

[neutron54]

whats the difference between this and the phase 90?

[ToneChaser4Life]

@neutron54 I believe the 45 is subtler of the two.

\m/

[shango02005]

I was just curious...Are the descriptions on the top left of the screen during the demo MXR's or PGS's? For example, when Andy changes settings, it says "subtle phase", or "liquify" , etc. I know it's kind of silly to ask, but I just wondered. Thanks.

[marshallkiller]

Hey PGS. what would you say is the difference between this pedal and the phase 90?

[MichaelD8393]

Sex Pistols on the intro, Epic Win.

[carlmagnus9]

When are you going to demo the MXR Phase 100?

[carlmagnus9]

What is the difference between this and the MXR Phase 90?

[qwerpoij]

Intro is way too long

[vaibanez17]

What are the real differences between the MXR Phase 45, '74 Phase 90 and EVH Phase 90?

[melindagreenjeans]

I wish they'd make a block logo version with an LED and 9V jack. This is just a rediculously outdated pedal; quaint but pointless.

[letsgetcarriedaway]

The Phase 90 isn't subtle enough, and this is too subtle...is MXR planning to release a Phase 67.5 anytime soon?

[MrBluePsych]

you need to post this vid on your site... idk why it isnt there...

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@MrBluePsych - Sorry...our bad. Thanks for the heads-up!

-PGS Video Crew

[kristerkr]

i cant believe how good your videos are! each one of them looks completely proffessional, and i cant believe you have over 600 of these, great job! :)

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@kristerkr - Aww shucks....Thanks!

-PGS Video Crew

[rrippp]

@kristerkr They definitely earned their name 'Pro' Guitar shop... No point doing it if you're not gonna do it well. Kudos

[jb1563700]

What's the difference between this and the 90? I can't really tell.

[ArthursChannel]

can someone tell me is this pedal a true bypass?

[letsgetcarriedaway]

@ArthursChannel Probably not.

[alienAB1]

god i love that you guys at PGS are both good guitar players, and have such knowledge of guitar gear it really helps showing this equipment off. and plus you guys have a place in oregon like meh :P peace all and rock out

[bugeyepatv]

I don't like this demo, it doesn't really show the real sound of the pedal. He just using overdrive to boost the effect.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@bugeyepatv - Yeah, nobody EVER uses overdrive AND phase together! That would be ridiculous : )

Thanks for watching,

- PGS Video Dudes

[ibaneztubescreamer]

@ProGuitarShopDemos

Haha! I was thinking the same thing

[mindflashbr]

@bugeyepatv Funny is that when they review a phase pedal without overdrive, there are people like you complaining about "where is my EVH riffs".

[FreddyD94]

@mindflashbr Well sound-wise; this one is a little more subtle and warmer than the Phase 90

[andy92811]

I prefer the (original) Small Stone to the Phase 45-90. More earthy and "dreamy".

[AwesomeBuddy12]

andy must really like radiohead.

[bealtown]

@AwesomeBuddy12 Radiohead would be using some Lovetone pedal with 40 knobs, I'm sure.

[javiceres]

@bealtown Hey man, slow down.

[ishancooper]

Cool pedal, but wouldn't use it without having a PSU input on it.

[AwesomeBuddy12]

THE TOURIST!!

[whitepeoplearestupid]

you guys should add links to the product in the description.

[ciclosonico]

Battery only...

I love the way it sounds, but I'll wait for the "adapter" version :)))

[wordhurler]

@ciclosonico

Yeah. I love the idea of building classic pedals to their original specs...but I'd rather they didn't leave out modern conveniences that make them easier to live with and shouldn't affect the tone -- like AC adapter inputs and LED status lights.

[guitarsarge]

@wordhurler

yeah, but battery vs ac adapter does change the tone.....

I've done many shootouts.

One guy I teched for preferred batteries around 8.9v in his rotovibe...

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

Andy for President?

[IamPeavey]

are all mxr pedals true-bypass? or do they just look like they are?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@IamPeavey - No, not all of them. Some are buffered. You can tell by looking?

[IamPeavey]

@ProGuitarShopDemos correct me if i'm wrong. i just assumed cuz most of MXR's bypass switches look like 3pdt switches.

[whitepeoplearestupid]

@ProGuitarShopDemos x-ray vision bra

[wordhurler]

@ProGuitarShopDemos

I think there's a tendency to assume a pedal with an old-school footswitch is true bypass, while a pedal with a Boss-style stomp surface is buffered. But of course a lot of pedals with old-school switches are not true bypass, and some pedals with modern Boss-style switches are true bypass (like the Digitech HardWire series).

[vidzaratm]

wait wait is anarchy in the uk originally played with phaser o.O

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@vidzaratm Yes, it's subtle, maybe an overdub.You can hear it in some live clips of that era too. Thanks,

PGS Crew

[menga111]

andy you are a king among men

[AntonOortmann]

too bad they didn't put a led on it, but well it is a reissue of course..

[Ilovemyfender2]

Sounds like the missing link between a 4-stage phaser and a uni-vibe

[FastRedPonyCar]

Hey andy, does this one have the tiny little "secret" depth pot inside like the phase90 has?

[machinegunguitar]

Love Rollercoster....nice

[sonofkikkoman]

i have that gt-od but mine has way less paint on it haha

[brbbns1]

I'm really diggin this, but I kinda prefer the phaser on me Mace vt combo. :)

[retroman360]

MXR puts out the best phasers,flanges,and delays. the distortions are mediocre

[tony93666]

love the transparency of this - I hate when you kick a pedal on and all you hear is the effect and can barely make out the guitar underneath...

[NathanJackLouttit]

this is an attractive looking pedal<3

[beefjerkyinmymouth]

Dude, whatever happened to that kickass bluess riff I used to hear?

[johnm41887]

the sea and cake? awesome.

[popomczowzow]

HEY!!!! I recognize those REALLY REALLY FAMOUS songs you play!! I should tell the internet!

[BlackDiamond351]

@popomczowzow tell me about it man. jesus christ.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@popomczowzow - Ha! Awesome.

[MichaelD8393]

@popomczowzow what is it?

[tonytoes3895]

so whats the diffence in tone between this and the 90???? is this just the reisue?

[KEWB99]

@tonytoes3895 It has a much more subtle Phase effect.

[salmonline]

what happened to putting a link to the product in the drop-down?

[firebird116]

Andy playing The Tourist just made me go from 6 to midnight

[xxrskixx]

VOTE FOR RADIOHEAD!!!!

[kidderminsterbro]

skin tight ohio players you go andy

[notyourhomeboy]

Is there anything you can't play, Andy?

[Halchemist15]

Funk song is an impro or a real song?

[armthehomeless199]

anarchy in the u.k!!!!!!

[johnaiton]

Andy, you should make a few instrumental Radiohead covers for youtube or something. Seriously, you're already doing 95% of the work of this already.

The Tourist sounds amazing. I loved your Optimistic cover too

[sauerkret]

Please demo the Dunlop JC95 wah :D

[niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick]

this is THE phaser to use on keys

[AntwaanMusic]

Thumbs up for The Tourist!

[bloodySunday77]

Glad to see more people will become acquainted with it - it has the advantage of being more subtle than most other phasers, without sounding less rich. PGS guys, did we hear it placed after the overdrive or before?

[Ozymandius666]

@bloodySunday77 Andy has the firm preference of putting his modulations before his dirt to keep them "uncolored" by the drives/distortions.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@bloodySunday77 Until the last clip, the phaser was placed before dirt. It really didn't matter with this one though. Thanks,

PGS Crew

[volcano9980]

This effect has made HUGE splendorous musics with many artists.........

[sirfredofx]

I am an antichrist!!!! cool sounding pedal and great playing yet again from Andy :)

[SpandyAndy87]

yes the sex pistols :D

[GNeuman]

I thought that MXR were owned by Jim Dunlop??

[luckyphilster]

fuck yeah andy! rollins band!!!!!

[speakercoilmusic]

The Tourist!!!!!!! YAY RADIOHEAD... Though having used it in the Effectrode Vibra Chorus demo... I must say I prefer it through the vibra chorus. Though interesting to hear it made with a single knobbed phaser! Such a great tune... MAS RADIOHEAD POR FAVOR!

[AwesomeBuddy12]

RADIOHEAD!!!!!

[TheOscana]

Why to make a new phase, when you have the orange box?

[brownstone28]

Pretty epic.....The Tourist

[riley3006]

SEX PISTOLS!!

[moucon]

very subtle - sounds like the original.

[luispuente83]

this is soooooo cool! Im melting down right now!

[royal58]

How long does it take to do a pedal demo with your equipment? You guys must have it down to a fine art by now...

[JohnMcD19]

Would be great to have a phase 90 that could switch down to a 2 stage phaser with this kind of transparency.  It sounds great, but it doesn't really get deep and vocal like the 90 or the small stone.

[JoeyHawk]

What else was used for the Sex Pistols intro besides the Phase 45?

[sparrow1133]

i'm not that keen on phasers ... but, this i like !!

[JETDAB]

a phase shifter on "Anarchy in the U.K." LOL.. I like this better than the 90 . The 'liquify' is really cool. Very much like Alex Lifeson's sound on "All the World's a Stage" . I missed if it can be powered by a standard 9V pedal board

[MrBMars]

CAUSE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII WANNA BEEEEEEEEEEE ANARCHY!!!

[TesserId]

Battery only? Will it tolerate a 9V adapter? (BTW, nice demo, much appreciated)

[MDelgadoification]

YES! Finally a demo of the phase 45! Is this true bypass?

[TheMusiciansFriend]

call it the phase 1 BILLION!!!!!!!!!!
