MXR’s new Phase 95 is said to combine the delights of two of the pedal maker’s biggest early hits – the Phase 90 and the Phase 45, in a single mini pedal designed to fit modern crowded pedalboards.
The 45/90 switch toggles between the Phase 45 mode’s subtle two-stage phasing and the Phase 90 mode’s more pronounced four-stage phasing, while the Script switch toggles between two phasing styles. The Phase 95 is set to modern style phasing by default, which relies on feedback to create light harmonic distortion and gives the effect a more accentuated swoosh. Engaging the Script switch removes feedback for a lusher, more subdued sound with higher headroom and greater clarity. The familiar Speed control sets the rate of the effect.
UK distributor Westside says the Phase 95 will be arriving on 16th November and that the UK RRP will be £106.99 Info: www.westsidedistribution.com
