The Phase 95 combines the Phase 45 and Phase 90 circuits - toggled by the 45/90 switch - in a mini enclosure, complete with a Script switch to toggle between modern and vintage style phasing.
MXR knows phasers. The Phase 90's compact size, superior construction and refined sound put MXR on the map and set the standard by which all other phasers are judged. Two years later, MXR released the Phase 45, a softer version of the effect prized for its ability to blend easily into a band's mix. Now you can get both iconic circuits in one pedal while tightening up your pedalboard at the same time. The Phase 95 combines the Phase 45 and Phase 90 circuits in a mini enclosure with about half the footprint of a standard MXR pedal. The 45/90 switch toggles between the subtle two-step phasing of Phase 45 mode and the more pronounced four-step phasing of Phase 90 mode, while the Script switch toggles between two phasing styles. Phase 95 defaults to a modern style, which relies on feedback to create light harmonic distortion and gives the effect a more pronounced swoosh. Activating the Script switch removes feedback for a lusher, more moderate sound with higher headroom and greater clarity. The familiar Speed control sets the rate of the effect. The Phase 95 may be small, but it's full of rich phase tones, and that will take a hit on the road.
