Phase 90 or evh phase 90?

jacktaylorguitar

Looking between these two pedals! Who has experience with them?

The EVH sounds exactly like a block 90 in one mode and more or less like a script 90 in the other.

Depends if you like Van Halen or not
As an all round phaser get the phase 90. If you want to play Ain't talking 'bout love .. get the EVH one

I think that was a flange

Isn't the phase on throughout with the flange kicked in for the final C to B in the riff? That's what I always thought anyhow.

The Evh can do block and script and so is the better choice.

The phase 95 can also do phase 45 sounds and so is better still.

Christophe

Get the EVH, it's best of both worlds imo

The script reissue Phase 90 is the one RI that's actually better than the original. Lush as hell.

I've got the Zakk Wylde one. It's poo.

That's high praise indeed! With or without LED do you reckon?

I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I'm guessing he means the one without the LED- they have different circuits, at least as far as I'm aware.

clarkefan

Yes he means the 74 script reissue, the hand wired one with no LED or power input.  Beautiful. 

@Simonk,  yes listening to it again I think you're right, my bad.

The script is awesome....I had for a while and loved it...then I got the grand orbiter...phase search complete

To be fair, I mean I got a good price on mine and it does sound good- plus I don't want to faff about with batteries etc.. But still.

Let's be honest. The EVH one looks the dogs danglies

jacktaylorguitar

If anyone's interested in a comparison. 
The EVH isn't as intense as the block and has less of a bass sweep. It sits well in a mix and sounds cool
