M-101
PHASE 90
DESCRIPTION
• Add shimmery velocity to lead licks, or add swoosh to chords
•Works well with bass, keyboards and even vocals
• Speed knob dials from subtle waviness to rapid raygun weirdness!
DIRECTIONS
To set up the Phase 90, plug your instrument into the Input jack and your amplier into the
Output jack. Turn it on with the footswitch toggle, making sure the red LED is ON to indicate
that the effect is active. For lead guitar, the Phase 90’s sound is most effective when it’s used
sparingly. Playing “clean” through most of a tune, then popping it on for a solo, makes the
effect especially noticeable by contrast. You can try adjusting the speed to synchronize with
the tempo of the song, but most players nd that it’s more interesting let the phase effect have
a unique tempo all its own. Experiment with tempos and see how they affect the emotional
impact of your music.
For rhythm guitar, the Phase 90 works best with slower speed rates, giving an “undulating”
character to chord strumming or arpeggios.
Phase 90’s are prized in the recording studio because of their high tone quality and reliability.
One great studio trick is to record your track clean, then patch the Phase 90 in between the
clean, pre-recorded track and a new scratch track. You can then adjust the Speed knob in
post-production, varying the rate for different parts of the song, and add interest and depth
to the effect.
