Pedals that stack with the MXR Phase 90

Suhr Shiba Drive

The Shiba Drive's vintage-voiced gain gives the Phase 90 more harmonic content to sweep across than a clean signal alone.

Beetronics Fatbee JFET Overdrive

Put the Phase 90 after the Fatbee so its swirl rides on top of the throaty crunch instead of getting driven into mush.

Meris Polymoon

Stack the Phase 90 ahead of the Polymoon and its classic sweep becomes one more layer in the Polymoon's own complex modulation stack. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Ashdown Double Shot

Run the Phase 90's classic sweep after the Double Shot's gritty bass overdrive and the modulation has real low-end body to color.

Origin Effects Halcyon Green Overdrive

The Halcyon Green's studio-voiced overdrive gives the Phase 90 something harmonically rich to sweep across, rather than a flat clean signal.

Univox Super-Fuzz

Put the Phase 90 after the Super Fuzz, not before, so the sweep rides on an already-saturated signal instead of getting swallowed.

Dophix Michelangelo Overdrive Plus

Run the Phase 90's classic sweep after the Michelangelo's treble-boosted JFET crunch and the modulation has real bite to color.

Aguilar Grape Phaser (Bass Analog Phaser)

Two phasers rarely stack cleanly — pair the Grape Phaser's resonant bass sweep with the Phase 90's classic mid-range sweep and each covers different ground.

Keeley Aria

Phase 90's classic swirl colors Aria's compressed, blues-voiced overdrive after the gain stage rather than adding to it.

Greer Tomahawk

Phase 90's psychedelic swirl colors Tomahawk's cutting overdrive after the gain stage rather than adding to it.

EarthQuaker Devices White Light

Run the Phase 90's classic sweep after the White Light's bright, articulate drive so the modulation rides clearly on top of that rounded saturation.

Xotic BB Preamp

The BB Preamp's creamy treble crunch gives the Phase 90's sweep a warmer signal to color than a clean one would.

Spaceman Charon GE/SI Hybrid

Run the Phase 90 after the Charon's switchable germanium and silicon fuzz so the sweep rides whichever clipping character you've dialed in.

Greer Mizuki blue

Phase 90's classic swirl colors the Mizuki Blue's warm, bluesy overdrive after the gain stage rather than adding to it.

Lovepedal Purple Plexi

Let the Phase 90's classic sweep trail the Purple Plexi's natural breakup instead of a bare clean tone.

MXR Double Down

The Double Down's transparent boost pushes the Phase 90 harder without coloring it, so the sweep stays true to the phaser's own voice.

Catalinbread Cloak

Run the Phase 90's classic sweep after the Cloak's shimmering, harmonic reverb and the modulation colors the reverb tail directly. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret Mk2

Run the Phase 90 after the DLS Mk2's saturated gain and the sweep rides on top of an already-thick signal instead of thinning it.

Boss VB-2W

Run the Phase 90's classic sweep after the VB-2W's liquid, analog pitch-vibrato and the two modulations compound into something genuinely deep.

Roland SDE-3000D

The SDE-3000D's iconic digital delay follows the Phase 90's classic-rock sweep for layered motion. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Walrus Audio EB-10

The Phase 90's classic-rock sweep follows the EB-10's boutique preamp boost for added motion.

Alexander Pedals Radical Delay

The Phase 90's classic-rock sweep follows the Radical Delay's digital, ambient repeats for layered motion. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Empress Echosystem

The Phase 90's classic-rock sweep follows the Echosystem's dual-engine delay for layered motion. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Shin's Music Dumbloid

The Dumbloid's smooth, articulate breakup gives the Phase 90's sweep a warm, saturated signal to color instead of a dry one.
