At an MSRP of $130 new, this pedal is a bit pricey for a one trick pony. However, you'd be hard pressed to acheive the same signature sound from any multi-effects device. Other phase shifters may have more features, but they often go overboard with regard to the resulting processed signal. This pedal is actually 2 pedals in one; The newer MXR "Block" logo Phase 90, and with a push of a switch, it becomes the more subtle vintage "Script" logo Phase 90, which sounds like it mixes some of the input signal with the effect output. Eddie Van Halen and many others have used this device to provide a dramatic backdrop for their wall of sound.
I used the "block print" version of the Phase 90 shifter for many years. After reading reviews about the advantages of the reissue Script Logo version I decided to try it. The difference in sound is obvious. The effect is very pleasant. More subtle, sweeter and warmer then the less expensive model. Worth to trade up, at least for my ears, my playing style and taste. I use it with an electric violin along with several other effects and the Phase 90 is turned on for most music I play. It's really an essential or even a secret weapon of my signature sound.

Great pedal that does exactly what you would expect it to do, exactly how you would want it to. No surprises, this gives that EVH phase tone that you would expect. Solid construction as you would expect from a product endorsed by Eddie.

I love this thing. You get both Block and script voicing with the EVH Phase 90.

First of all I bought the MXR script phase 90 not the EVH. I bought this pedal,because I played on one in the 80's and loved the way it sounded with distortion. I have an Electro Harmonix small stone phase shifter. I like it very much,it sounds good playing clean, but with distortion on the midrange swell is a little much for my taste. Don't misunderstand the small stone is an excellent pedal,but I believe the MXR sounds better for heavy rock or metal. And it sounds good on a clean channel as well. It's built well and does what it's supposed to do.
