If the recent MXR Phase 90 just doesn't do it for you, check out the MXR CSP-026. The '74 Vintage Phase 90 is a re-creation of the original pedal made famous by immortal bands such as Van Halen. The 74 Vintage Phase 90 accurately represents the thick, warm phase that we all grew up loving and searching after. The CSP026 features select resistors coupled with hand-matched FET's on a handwired board. This exclusive selection of components gives the Script Phase 90 the same smooth phase and big modulation that made the original a classic.

The MXR '74 Vintage Phase 90 looks just like the original, right down to the script logo. Housed in the same compact MXR metal box, it is difficult to tell them apart visually as well as tonally. The MXR CSP026 sounds so close to the original, you'd need a Pepsi Challenge to really find out if there is a difference at all. The thick, swirling phase of the 74 Vintage Phase 90 brings back Eddie in all his glory. It has the headroom of the original as well as the reduced midrange swell. The Vintage Phase 90 definitely lives up to its title. MXR made the original, and they know how to re-make it with the CSP-026 '74 Vintage Phase 90.
