Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The MXR Script Phase 90 (LED) is a reissue variant of MXR's legendary Phase 90 phaser, featuring the vintage "script" logo styling of the earliest original units along with an added LED status indicator for visibility in low-light stage conditions. It delivers the same classic, warm phase-shift sweep that made the original 1970s Phase 90 one of the most iconic and widely used phaser pedals in music history.
The EarthQuaker Devices Grand Orbiter is a 4-stage OTA-based phaser built around Rate, Depth, Sweep, and Resonance controls, offering a wide range of phaser textures from subtle swirl to intense, resonant sweeping. As the original version, it uses a hard mechanical footswitch, later replaced in V3 by a quieter soft switch with added Flexi-switch momentary functionality. The underlying 4-stage OTA phaser circuit and its four tone-shaping controls are identical across versions, meaning the original delivers the same core phaser character that made the Grand Orbiter a well-regarded pedal in EarthQuaker's lineup.
