I got an Eddie Van Halen MXR today!!!!

[DeadOrAlive]

YEEE HAWWWW!!!! I love it!! The sound is so rich and warmmmmmm I got it for 130 bucks was that a good deal?

[Big Troubles]

whats the difference between that and the original?(Phase 90) Im assuming you picked up the red and white striped MXR?

[BrownSound1]

The new one supposedly has a switch to change the tone a bit to a more biting sound. 130 bucks though...I dunno if I would pay it. Of course I already got an MXR Phase 90.

I would never part with my orange phase 90, nor would I ever replace it with an overpriced striped one.

[Big Troubles]

I barely use the my MXR 90 now, but it is a pleasure to use it when I want it. I have a built in phase effect on the amp, but that's never the same as a seperate pedal. When I do use it, I find I always have it set on very low.

So this wasnt a good deal??

The circuit is a little different. It's not just about a paint job.

If that is what you wanted it is.

You paid $130? Ive seen it still priced at $180 Canadian.

...Ummm, actually it's a reallly cool pedal. Sounds like a script logo OR a block logo Phase90, and has more headroom than either...I'm getting one (and cheaper than $130 bucks too )

I didn't say it wasn't different, I just said that I wouldn't pay for a new one because I already have a Phase 90. At the end of the day, a Phase 90 is a Phase 90.

You don't have to convince me that it's cool, I'm sure it is.

Cool. . .yes
Overpriced. . .yes

Saying something is overpriced doesn't mean the thing is no good. It means it costs too much money for what you're getting. . .in the speaker's opinion that is.

[UGS]

Sorry if I came across as being snarky. . .not intended at all

Seriously, DeadOrAlive, regardless of which Phase 90 you got, you just bought an awesome pedal. I hope it brings you as much musical happiness as mine's given me. For me, it's the only pedal that is ALWAYS in my rig.

[DeadOrAlive]

haha thanks UGS!!! big 5 coming to ya!!!

[Panamark]

I agree with Brownsoud1, who cares if its cost $130. If its what you wanted, fuckit ! Well done. Ive paid more for an effect unit than $130 before.

DOA, apparently there is a simple resistor change MOD on that unit
too if you are interested in tweaking. If you love the sound as is,
dont worry about the mod. I recall others here discussing this mod,
I think it changes the sweep depth or something..... Someone will
know about it and post it in this thread..
