Original - can easily be modded for true bypass. Reissue - can't easily, the switch is PCB-mounted.
Simple solution with either - run a buffer or any buffered pedal in front.

I've not noticed any, but I usuay have them after a Wah.
I shall try them alone tonight and see (Both Script and Block logo).

Or the EVH version
Or the Whirlwind Orangebox
ICBM did explain why that was in a previous thread. Lovely sounding pedal but those issues added to my reasons for selling it on.

Agree, they're no much use in the Loop. Causing a large volume drop when used there (certainly on my DSL).........
Using pretty loud/hot 'buckers I get a little clipping, but not much. I suspect with ceramic, or active pickups it'd be worse. It's the exact sound I think of when I think of phase, think the intro lead on Maiden's Children of the Damned.
When I had it running through a switcher (my wah was in front of the switcher unit) I had none of the issues noted (with either of mine). And with a wah in front of it still don't.
I hadn't heard of these before today (at least I don't remember if I did), and have used block and script types for a few years......
Before I had a Boss phaser, which just didn't sound right (to me) and had too many variables.

There's not a massive difference between the script and block anyway. I did a back-to-back test a while ago, the block sweep is a little slower*, and the sound a little darker, but in a live situation you wouldn't know the difference.
*at like-for-like settings.

Anyway, Phase 90 is one of my favourite phasers.
@ICBM yes it was a PH-2 - I had to think back I sold it a few years ago.
@Drew_fx the Phase90 is my favourite phaser. Hence I have 2......
