Does Phaser go before or after distortion?

Gain based effects such as and overdrive/distortion pedals come next. Modulation effects such as chorus, flangers, phasers typically come next in the chain. Time based effects such as delays and reverbs work best at the end of the signal chain.

Where does Phase 90 go in chain?

As with most modulation effects, Phaser traditionally sits towards the back end of your pedal chain, after everything except ambient effects like reverb and delay. This means the effect will apply to everything in your chain so far, including distortion, EQ, filters and more.

What Phaser did Eddie Van Halen use?

The Signature EVH Phase 90 4-stage Phaser is obviously perfect for this with its one Speed knob and ‘Script’ Mode button switch.

How does a phase 90 work?

MXR Phase 90 Circuit. The LFO creates the sub-sonic carrier signal that modulates the notches, shifting them among the frequency band. The MXR Phase 90 modulation is controlled by one knob which set the speed of the effect (frequency of the LFO).

Where does a flanger go in the chain?

Where does a flanger go in your signal chain? As with most modulation effects, flanger will sit most comfortably towards the back end of your pedal chain. You’ll be best off putting it after everything except ambient effects like reverb and delay.

What’s the difference between flanger and phaser?

Phasers work is frequency-based and works with a phase delay, whereas flanger is time-based and works on a time delay. Phasers filters signals by creating a series of peaks and splits the sound into at least two paths, whereas flanger doubles your input signal and plays both back together.

What chorus did Evh use?

MXR EVH 5150 Chorus
The new analog MXR EVH 5150 Chorus is built to capture those sounds in a stompbox format. The 5150 is inspired by the rackmount Roland DC-30 analog chorus used by Eddie during the Diver Down period.

What speakers did Evh use?

Throughout his career, Eddie Van Halen has sought out original Celestion 20-watt Greenback speakers to load into his recording and performing rigs.

When to use Phaser before or after distortion?

If I want a Leslie kind of sound (think Cream’s “Badge” or Pink Floyd”, then a phase shifter or Univibe/Rotovibe type of effect sounds more authentic before any other pedals in the signal chain into a distorted or overdriven amp.

When did the MXR Phase 90 logo come out?

One such device is the MXR Phase 90. It’s formidable: simple and yet powerful. Born in 1974, the original Script Logo Phase 90 was named after its cursive branding. A few years later, the fancy writing was gone and a new block logo took over.

What’s the difference between Phase 90 and Phase 45?

The Phase 90 uses four stages, while the Phase 45 uses two. If you want a more subtle version of the Phase 90, this is a good choice. Perhaps the most ubiquitous phaser in the world, the reissue Phase 90 came to life after Jim Dunlop resurrected the MXR brand. It is on countless pedalboards across the world, and for good reason.

Which is better before distortion or after distortion?

My Nebula sounds a lot better before OD than after. Harmonics that distortion pedals generate add richness to modulation pedals. Scientific fact.
