Build Level: Intermediate
Based On: MXR® Phase90™
The Phase 90™ is the parent and more grandiose version of the Phase45™. It is the quintessential
analog guitar phaser sound. The effect is produced by mixing a guitar clean and phase modulated
signals. An simple LFO drives four phase stages which are controlled by JFETs used as variable
resistors.
The NomNom version of the Phase90™ includes a couple of mods to offer additional tonal
variations, namely a Voice switch and Color potentiometer.
This project requires four matched JFET transistors. See the Build Notes for more details.
SPEED: Modulation rate.
VOICE: Selects between the stock phase caps and an alternate set.
COLOR: The control sets the amount of feedback in the phaser circuit. Higher feedback
equates to increased intensity in the phase effect. The highest setting has some mild distortion
which some players like.
T1: This trimmer is used to calibrate the modulation effect.

  • Page 8 Build Notes Transistors • The NomNom requires the 2n5952 transistors to be matched for the phaser effect to work properly. While you may be able to stick four random JFETS in there and get lucky, the best result comes from matching the cutoff voltages for the transistors as closely as possible.
