In times past , when a musician wanted a Phase 90 sound with more depth and complexity , they would simply use a pair of Phase 90s set to two different , complementary speeds . Add a stereo rig , and things could intense quickly . Recently , MXR has given us this capability in a single pedal , the CSP099 Phase 99 . It squeezes two Phase 90 circuits into a single compact enclosure with individual rate controls , dual outputs , a Vintage / Modern toggle switch , a Series / Parallel switch , and a Sync switch that synchronizes the rates of the circuits . Sadly this model has been discontinued , but there are still a few on the shelves . Get one quick !
If the “ less is more ” philosophy behind the Phase 45 offends your sensibilities , perhaps the Phase 100 ’ s “ more is more ” stylings will suit you better . Housed in a wider orange box and outfitted with two knobs , this pedal ’ s intent should be clear to all who gaze upon it . Look under the hood and you ’ ll find ten stages of phasing ( as opposed to the Phase 90 ’ s four stages ) for considerably more complex tonalities . A four-position rotary switch offers further versatility , selecting from four different waveforms , which relate to the intensity of the effect . You can get classic Phase 90 tones out of the Phase 100 quite easily , as well as tons of tones the 90 never dreamed of . Phase maximalists with a little more room to spare on the pedalboard should go for the 100 .
