MXR Phase 90 settings
⚡ Match a tone on this gearHow do you dial in a specific tone on a MXR Phase 90?
Time and modulation effects sit at a specific point in a chain and change character completely if they move. Settings for the MXR Phase 90 come with the position in the signal path, not just the knob values, because a delay in front of a driven amp and the same delay in a loop are two different sounds.
Name the song you are chasing and Tonelify returns the settings for this exact pedal, not the settings the original artist used. Those are two different things: the recording was made on gear most players do not own.
Settings for this unit only ever use controls it actually has, because its front panel is stored in our gear database. You will not be told to set a knob that is not on the unit.

MXR Phase 90 questions
Where does the MXR Phase 90 go in the signal chain?
After the drive stage. Running a time or modulation effect into a distorted input smears the repeats into the distortion instead of layering them over it, which is why this kind of pedal usually belongs in an effects loop where the amp has one.
Does Tonelify support the MXR Phase 90?
Yes, and its front panel is stored, so settings only ever reference controls this pedal has: Speed. You will not be told to set a knob that is not there.
