There are few performances in the history of the phaser pedal that can challenge the iconic status of “ Eruption ” from Van Halen ’ s 1978 debut record . The phaser used on this recording is , of course , the Phase 90 , and the subtle sense of warmth and movement it lends to Eddie ’ s guitar histrionics is absolutely crucial . It is fitting then that MXR has issued an EVH signature Phase 90 sporting the classic striped Frankenstein guitar graphics , with a tiny button for toggling between Eddie ’ s vintage “ script logo ” tone and a more modern Phase 90 sound . It also has a DC power jack and a blue LED for maximum convenience and visual swagger , respectively .
For vintage enthusiasts that possess a healthy sense of compromise , the CSP101SL Phase 90 essentially has all the features and headroom of the ‘ 74 Script Phase 90 , but with a handy LED and standard nine-volt DC power jack for comfortable existence in a modern pedalboard scenario . It has all the warmth and organic swoosh of the ‘ 74 as well , with the same smooth mid peaks and wide-open clarity . It also sells for just under a hundred bucks , making it an exceptional bargain that will almost certainly find a permanent home in your rig .
