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. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.45% — somewhat different

The MXR Phase 100 is a four-stage phaser with an Intensity control offering four phasing textures, a richer, more pronounced cousin of the Phase 90. Used by Glenn Tipton, it delivers lush, swirling modulation from subtle to dramatic, suited to rock rhythm and lead. Its extra control range makes it more versatile than the simpler Phase 90.
The Tone City Summer Orange is a phaser pedal from the budget-focused Chinese effects brand, following Tone City's broader catalog pattern of colorful, compact stompboxes covering classic effect types at accessible prices. As a phaser, it sweeps a series of notch filters across the frequency spectrum to produce the swirling, watery modulation the format is known for, distinct from a flanger's more metallic, jet-plane sweep. Tone City has built a presence in the budget pedal market by covering nearly every major effect category in a bright, visually distinctive mini or standard-size format, and the Summer Orange continues that approach within the phaser category specifically.
