MXR Eddie Van Halen Phase 90 demo

The MXR EVH Phase 90 Shifter is a limited-edition version of the legendary MXR Phase 90. The Phase 90 was instrumental in creating the guitar tones on the early Van Halen records; the swirling, spacey sound on such songs as "Eruption," "Atomic Punk," and "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love." The EVH 90 captures the warm, hypnotic tone of the vintage "script logo" Phase 90, and with the flip of a switch also delivers an intense, edgier phase tone.
It features rock-solid internal construction and an indestructible enclosure to ensure years of flawless performance. Add to this the Van Halen-approved striped graphics from the guitar that changed the world and you have a truly unique piece of rock history.

I don't understand why you don't consider a flanger or a phaser a stomp box. They are little pedals on the floor that you stomp on to activate, just like a fuzz face. Effects Pedal and Stompbox mean the exact same thing.

he didnt use JCM 800's mr know it all he used plexi's LOL

i dont he ever used 800's actually

[superkellerman8D]

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[mtaygoldin]

mmm this pedal would do well for playing some 2112!!!

[tehnoobischshow]

0:34 is that knocking on heavens door?

[Adamisarocker09]

@9balll i heard that until the peavey 5150 was released, eddie used an original soldano 100w head with a mid boost mod??

[drfeelgoodTO]

That crunch box isnt a bad pedal actually, I use the boss metal zone with the low level distortion , medium trebel, phaser through a trainor tube. It sounds just like the VH records to me.

[strontophetnet]

does he use the mxr phase 90 with a pitch phaser?i think he use an octave too but i don't know,there's an octave on my vox tonelab st that sounds a little like evh when he does his dive bombs and stuff :p,but nice video

[evhfrankie]

Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love was recorded with a MXR Flanger! ! ! ! ! ! !

[ElectricBlueOil]

@ToneFactor will this also work on bass?

[frankenstrat25]

@DenKulesteSomFins haha show me the place where you got that info. because im a EVH freak. and im pretty sure he only used plexis and 5150s. plexi from 74-1990 and peavy from 1991-present

[DenKulesteSomFins]

@frankenstrat25 he used jcms in mean street if i remember correctly

[frankenstrat25]

@9balll he used plexis and peavey 5150s

[electrickithara]

Sonds good.

@Gibsonjunkie64 The script button makes the phase effect more subtle. In my opinion, having the script button enabled sounds better when the dial is turned up higher (else the phase effect is overpowering and too wobbly). Having the script button off is preferable to me when the phase knob is turned low b/c the script button is almost too subtle at a lower setting.

[Gibsonjunkie64]

i still don't get the difference in sound with the script button on

[jasonism123]

I prefer this to be set around 10 o'clock for rhythm and solos..and sit before the distortion.

[reditreefrogs]

I have switched around my EVH flange putting in front of and after my MXR Distortion+...I've found the Distortion in front of the pedals sounds the best to my ears...The EVH flange and Phase both sound better using a dirt pedal direct from the guitar...

I don't have a dirty channel on my amp which is a Plexi clone....

@joshua0226 if it were me i'd rather have stompboxes.

[joshua0226]

@9balll Do you think it would be stupid if I boosted it with a line 6 pod x3 overdrive? or should I just get an eq and an overdrive pedal

[joshua0226]

@9balll I have the same exact guitar! i have a jcm 800 4014 , Im getting an mxr eq cause ya know.. eqs are a necesity but I still dont know what od to get because fo sho I need an od for higher gain stuff

[9balll]

@joshua0226 hmm - i remember i had a jackson DK2M that had the duncan JB/jazz p/u set in it that got a decent VH tone a while back. i'm not sure what JCM800 you have - some of them were lower gain than others - if i were you i'd try a boost pedal first, and maybe research what p/u's eddie used back then - i want to say a duncan custom but who knows - he has his own p/u's out now i think lol. maybe try getting an EVH bridge p/u as well.

[joshua0226]

@9balll hmm I have a jackson dinky im thinking about getiing evh parts and frankenjacking it up (no puns intended) I have a single channel jcm 800 with g12 celestion speakers im also saving up for an eq pedal and a les paul gibson traditional plsu
