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 Orange Phaser is a reissue of a vintage Orange circuit, a one-knob phaser that delivers classic psychedelic swirl across a wide range of speeds. A single adjustable dial takes the tone from slow, woozy sweeps to fast, choppy stabs, passing through kaleidoscopic whirling and insistent krautrock-style pulses along the way. Its simplicity makes it instantly usable, focusing entirely on a musical, vintage-flavored phase voice rather than deep parameter control. Updated for the modern era with an LED and DC input while retaining its original character, it sits early in the chain into clean or driven amps, adding three-dimensional movement to rhythm and lead. It suits psychedelic, classic rock, and experimental players wanting a straightforward, characterful phaser with a strong vintage swirl from one easy control.
