Wylde Audio · pedal
This entry represents an MXR Phase 90, model code WA90, produced in a Wylde Audio branded colorway, a licensed collaboration pairing Zakk Wylde's guitar and gear brand with MXR's manufacturing and circuit design. The Phase 90 itself is one of the most iconic and widely used phaser circuits in guitar history, known for its simple one-knob operation and a lush, musical sweep that's appeared on countless classic recordings across genres. This Wylde Audio edition applies distinctive branding and finish associated with Zakk Wylde's aesthetic to that same trusted, decades-proven MXR circuit rather than introducing a new or different phaser design.
