Description

The Crazy Tube Circuits Cyclone is a four-in-one analog phaser pedal that includes emulations of the MXR Phase 90, MXR Phase 45, Electro-Harmonix Small Stone, and the rarer Lovetone Doppelganger phasers in a single compact unit. Features Rate, Depth, Mix, and Feedback controls for comprehensive phaser shaping, going beyond the single Rate knob of the original Phase 90, Phase 45, and Small Stone designs. At lower Depth settings produces harmonic tremolo-like character. Made in Greece by Crazy Tube Circuits.

The MXR Phase 95 is a compact phaser combining Phase 45 and Phase 90 circuits with a Script/Block toggle, offering four-stage and two-stage phasing in a mini enclosure. Used by Steve Lukather, it delivers classic MXR swirl from subtle shimmer to deeper modulation, suited to rock and fusion clean and lead tones. Its compact size and dual voices make it pedalboard-friendly.
