MXR · pedal
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.
