An idea for approaching both sounds (Mutron III and Phase 100) is the Spectrum filter from Source Audio. It is a programmable envelope filter and also has a phaser. Plus an octave section and a distortion section. Quite versatile but it does require that the user is comfortable with audio software in order to get the most out of it.
I have a 100 reissue, but man, I also have a MXR Phase 95 (the mini with three phases built in). I love that 95, it just sounds so good, the script on it is perfect, and it's so small, its the one on my board. I love it.
I hate every Grateful dead live recording (I know I know) but I love Jerry's playing and the records, especially the latter day ones, so I appreciate this review and appreciate your focus on this tone.
JGB does this one version of waiting for a miracle on 8-27-1991, I'm about 100% positive he's using a ph-2. I know Jerry had his standard rack and pedals he would use, but even though his rack is well documented at times I don't think that means he never used any other effects sometimes. Beautiful video also, great channel
Great Video thanks!! I have two vintage script-logo ones and they are better than the modern ones. I got to see Jerry's rig up close and he had his waveform switch setting set all the way clockwise (8 O'clock position), the two little circles with a line all the way through them. With that setting and the speed control up high (3 O'clock) is the closest sound I think to a Leslie speaker. My second favorite setting is the one you use it on, first click clockwise (3 O'clock), large circles with the line all the way through it. This deeper setting I like best with speed control on low. I almost choked when I saw what they are selling for on Reverb right now, since I don't need two of them I'm heavily debating selling one off.
I will have to try that setting. Generally I like using it as a slow phaser so the one I use, I like-but I’m always up for some experimenting. Thanks for watching!
@@crazylegscabs5659 Did you end up giving the setting I suggested a try? The reason I ask is because from my experience of owning several of these is that the Vactrols get funky with age, especially before they fail. The light dependent resistors inside the Vactrols are fine, it's the LED part that is the issue. My pedals have rebuilt Vactrols and it's a night and day difference. I plugged mine in to play with it against your video and with the same settings you use I get a very different sound. When I have time I'll make a video and upload it.
Fun fact, a keen eye will notice that when comparing the vintage script logo to the modern ones the waveform switch settings are not in the same positions. Hence why I try not to just go by what position it's in but also explain the waveform shape also. Keep on Truckin' & pickin
Another great video CLC, thank you. I too am endlessly fascinated by Jerry's evolving rigs!!
Love to hear your take on Garcia's use of the octave effect.
The EQD Grand Orbiter is AWESOME. Only pedal I've sold that I miss. Matter of fact, buying it again tonight.
This is a channel I’ve been wanting to find for a long time! You’ve confirmed my suspicion that a phaser is the next piece I need for my rig.
Phaser is always my favorite effect. So many great subtle tones, and really help shape my tone and more importantly my playing / attack. Great review!
You are totally bringing it alive
Cool, pretty tricky there! Agh, that sound brought back some crazy memories 🎵😬
Thanks for your support bud. ✌️
Great shout on the far from me sound! Thanks for the videos.
Thanks man! I freaking love that tune.
I bought one! Thx. Love it .
One other Mutron tune… West LA ! Thanks man. Nice work.
Nice! Glad to hear it
Great content keep the videos coming 👏
Thanks, and thanks for watching!

Yea I gotta give that 95 a go, people rave about them. ✌️
What settings do you use on the phase 95 do you use to replicate this sound?
Love the vids... nice stuff!!!
So glad you found your way here. I’ve watched your stuff for years. Thanks!
@@crazylegscabs5659 great videos...I need to do more, but can never find the time. Watching yours have reinspired me. Thanks

Keep rolling bro ✌🏼
Thanks for the support ✌️
My Jerry rig effects are mainly a Phase 100 and an MXR envelope filter.
Nice, I bet that sounds awesome.

Phase 100 on Struggling Man and Tears of Rage too.

IMO, the script logo version sounds better than the block logo. Also the Phase 95 & Phase 100 versions can switch between script & block.
Do you give up much if you buy one new vs finding a vintage one?
Sounds awesome! Are you from Philly?
Thanks bud! Yes indeed, born and raised in the 215 (burbs hahahaha)
@@crazylegscabs5659 nice KOP here. Are you a cabinet maker?
77 an 78 Block logo are the same as the script logo. Save a few bucks there.
Algo help
What Garcia needed was a tuner.
