The MXR Phase 45 is a vintage phaser pedal that offers subtle and musical phasing effects. It features a hand-wired circuit board built with original- spec 1975 components, hand-selected FETs matched to produce deep and rich phasing, and all-analog circuitry for warm analog tone.
Specifications:
- Input Impedance: 500 kΩ
- Output Impedance: 5 kΩ
- Max Input Level: -5 dBV
- Signal-to-Noise Ratio: >96 dB
- Phase Shift Range: 360°
- Bypass: Hardwire
- Current Draw: <1 mA
- Power Supply: 9-volt battery
The pedal can be powered by a 9-volt battery, a Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter, or the DC Brick™, Iso-Brick™, and Mini Iso-Brick™ power supplies (not included).
The controls include a footswitch to toggle the effect on/off and a Speed knob to regulate the overall effect rate. Rotating the Speed knob clockwise results in a faster phase effect, while counterclockwise results in a slower effect.
Use Cases:
- Texture your tone without overpowering your sound with the subtle and
musical phasing effects of the Phase 45.
- Suitable for musicians looking to add vintage phaser tones to their guitar
or bass performances.
The MXR Phase 45 is a faithful reissue of the original, offering a rare and classic phaser effect with authentic components and hardware.
