Linn Sondek « Just perfect. »
Published on 08/03/12 at 07:52As the name suggests is the Phase 45 phaser, phaser whose quality lies in two words: discretion and musicality.
Analog technology recreates the famous 1975 model with components of very high quality, probably better than those used originally to regard the input jacks and output jacks, the switch startup.
UTILIZATION
Configuration could not be more simple: a rotary knob to adjust the effect speed.
SOUND QUALITY
Effects are stunning! If you find that the MXR Phase 90 is a bit intrusive, so that Phase 45 is for you. As I wrote above, what strikes immediately following the superlative quality of the effect itself-it is the distinction and the musicality of the phasing. And this on all the frequencies of the guitar. Strat LP and love it and I confess fairly pronounced low for use with the Les Paul Traditional: this duo sounds fantastic. The CSP105 also works wonders coupled with an Ovation with the legendary precision, and consistency of records, regales the class of the effect.
OVERALL OPINION
I own three phasing, in all of MXR: the Phase 90, Phase 90 and Phase 74 reissue 45 75. The three pedals sound superbly. Both offer a very clear Reissues most: stability never faulted the effect on all frequencies and with a consistency that I've never encountered elsewhere.
This pedal is a must.
And as for the problem of false abence making for external power, it is only a problem for the youth of today! 30 years ago, the pedals, the vast majority, could be powered by battery ...
