Whirlwind Orange Box Phasor (Phase 90)

[blackba]

Anyone have a Whirlwind Orange Box phasor? I currently have a MXR EVH phase 90, which I like. I run it on script mode 90% of the time. I have heard the Orange Box is an upgrade and it has true bypass which for me is plus. Is it worth the change?

I should mention the bypass on the EVH phase 90 is fine, haven't heard it affecting my tone. I have read that MXR pedals bypass is poor though. I generally run a buffered Korg DT-10 early in the pedal chain to drive the signal, so I prefer my pedals are TB, so I can put the buffers in as I need them.

I have one & absolutely love it! Made me get rid of my EVH, which I really liked, but this is a definite step up. Not as noisy, better bypass and more lush than the MXR.

+!
Very rich and organic...it just adds great texture. Great phaser, particularly for the money!

Joe, seriously please stop with the O and 0 thing. It makes your post hard on the eyes, and it is just silly.

Sounds like this Orange box is the real deal. Found a used on TGP and they wanted the same price as a new one from Sweetwater, WTF???

HAHA, i just posted a video comparing the Orange box's phase sound to the Eventide Modfactors phase. From what i can hear so far there's no contest. Eventide, Fractal, Line 6...........why can't they get their phase to sound deep and lush without it sounding fake?

I dont dig it either, its not on purpose really, just that the o key on one of my laptops is broken and I dont feel like sending it back for warranty repair work again for something so small

Seriously?

I apologize then... send that thing back and get it fixed.

I just thought you were trying to be all internet cool and shit.

Finally picked up an Orange box phasor. I really like it, compared to the EVH phase 90 it sounds smoother and is a little less pronounced. The EVH phase 90 seems to add some distortion to the phase sound in both modes, even more is added in the block mode. When I took the EVH phase 90 out of my pedal chain, I noticed a slight inprovement in tone.

Very happy with the orange box phasor, for the small cost of the change, it was worth it.

I like enough, that is has be considering getting Whirlwinds version of the dyna comp.
