I'm only 30, so, even though I assume you're joking, you're proving my point. Cheese balls.

Phasing the wet signal from a delay can be fun, even for those who don't usually like phasers.

Real Estate uses MXR Phase 90s in a really nice, if not subtle way. I hated phasers until I heard how they used them and now I have a Phase 90 on my board.

Use it for whatever sounds good to you. You don't have to use it the same way everyone else does. If it doesn't suit your musical tastes, I would sell it and use the $$$ for something that gets you closer to that "sound" you're after

Re: What am I supposed to do with a phaser?
I've really been enjoying Real Estate recently. I've been listening to the self-titled album a fair bit. Good to see there are bands out there who can use a phaser well. One of those effects that I've never felt the need for myself (along with flanger & chorus too for that matter).pjennings wrote:Real Estate uses MXR Phase 90s in a really nice, if not subtle way.

I'm pretty sure that's a flanger, probably an Electric Mistress.

Any recommended settings for "Rate", "depth", and "res"?
