I'm not much into pedals, but this is a real stunner. Works equally well for lead and rhythm. Warm, luscious and pulsating washes of sound and with interesting pulses of extra overdi=rive/feedback sounds on occasion. Once you have one you will notice all those songs where one has been used too - and you may not have noticed it before. It fattens up rhythms not unlike a chorus pedal and adds interest to lead work. It sounds very good with your amp on full overdrive or when clean. I have to say I never use it with the knob turned more than halfway up and usually only a quarter turn up or less. You get the van Halen sound with a throbbing Marshall or a more typical 70s sound (Skynyrd, Tull, Thin Lizzy) when coupled with more moderate distortion. There is a very subtle difference + and - the script switch but not a great deal to my ears. Perhaps it means you need only get the regular MXR90? I have to say I almost always engage the script for the "vintage" sound, but this is only because I assumed it woudl sound better.

Its got a knob and script switch. The knob turned up past halfway gets into uncontrollable territory - might be effective for weird sounds once in a while - but I've not used it there yet. The blue diode is so bright it positively dazzles. I guess that's good should thelights go out and you need to see...

Its so easy it hurts! Simplicity is its virtue!

Outstandingly tough.

Its very good. With this good a sound it is definitely worth it - which is not the case with most pedals in my experience.

Haven't needed any yet.

Get one now! Actually don't, because then you'll sound as good as me!

i play with a lot of distortion kinda like a mix between "black album metallica and some pantera ish distortion" and this pedal keeps up i can still play classic van halen tunes and hear the phase tone just fine, its absolutely awesome i cant believe how amazing the sound is. And so easy to figure out because its just the one knob!!

Absolutely most solid built pedal i have ever owned. im damn proud of it, i stomp on the bastard all the time when i am playing with it and its never cut out or had any problems, and it looks amazing too

i bet this thing is gonna last me a life time, and if it doesnt im goin out and buying another one, sure it was pricey but its well worth it to anyone. If your hesitant to buy it just do it. I used to have a danelectro phaser and if i kicked in my o.d. it wouldnt be able to keep up, this thing can keep up just fine and its absolutely amazing

worth every little cent, i have no complaints

havent had to use support, this pedal is built tough

amazing pedal, those who dont have it, envy it, those who have it, cherish it!

I use it within a True bypass loop, by loopmaster, (loop-master.com), and the sound is Warm, Rich, Smooth, and Whirly. Great overall tones.

One knob with both Script and Block modes at your finger tips. Great pedal. The outer case is extremely durable and the paint is nice to boot. Best Led of any pedal I've ever had. Jacks look top notch too.

Overall construction gets a 10. Solid through and through.

A bit pricey, worth every penny though in my opinion. I didnt pay retail so another 10.

Havent had any problems and therefor no reason to contact any one. So a 10 for the no problems =)

1 knob and a script switch. simple

If you are a Van Halen fan ths is the petal for you and no joke. Sounds just like the recording.

Just to good.

I dropped and b accident on concret and it was still good. No scratches but paint chiped off.

It was worth every dime and penny.

Best pedal out.

Absolutely NAILS the early Van Halen tones. Both the "block" and "script" settings are very dynamic, musical, sensitive to the player's touch, and noiseless. The "script" setting is even more rounder, mellower, and warmer than an orange Phase 90 with the R28 mod; I know because I own both and A/B'd them.

The one "rate" knob is all you need. This thing BLOWS AWAY the Boss PH-3 phaser (I own one of them), which has a million knobs on it. Bottom line is, it don't matter how many knobs an effect has if its basic tone is no good. The EVH Phase 90's tone is awesome!

Seems very well built; even better and more heavy-duty than the regular Phase 90's. And the paint job on this is MUCH better than on regular Phase 90's (whose orange paint tends to chip rather easily).

It is a bit pricey, but the tone this thing gets makes it definitely worthwhile.

This has got to be the "feel good" product of the year; it actually lives up to its hype!
