    @jray5363 5 років тому +2

    Thanks for the video Phil! As a beginner, (for years), pedals have always been a mystery. I never would have looked at some of those because of the non-descriptive names. It’s nice to hear them in action with someone that knows how to use them. Thanks!

  • @SocksworthRiffs

    I used to own an MXR Jimi Hendrix Experience Fuzz, and I loved it, that was a very long time ago, but I still think about it all the time!

  • @TommySixGun
    @TommySixGun 5 років тому

    I’ve had a bunch of different Phase 90’s and even a Phase 100 (in the late 70’s). I bought a Phase 95 (mini) about 6 months ago and it blows me away.
    Great video, Phillip!

    @craignesbitt7856 5 років тому +2

    If I remember right the Custom Badass 78 Distortion is MXR's take on the DS-1 (which came out in 1978) with the LED mod (Crunch) that you could toggle on and off.
    I love mine and run the gain low (9-10 o'clock) and run a gain boost that I toggle on and off for more or less "loud" with my Vox

  • @whatidoissecret28
    @whatidoissecret28 5 років тому +4

    the 78 distortion was my first pedal ever and I still use it all these years later, I always feel like it's an overlooked pedal from MXR but one of their best imo. I just learned this recently but apparently it is based off of the boss ds-1 which came out in 78 hence the name (specifically it is supposed to be based off the keeley mod ds-1)

    I've not gotten around to checking out reviews of the Torino drive, but have been meaning to because my local shop has one for I think 60 or 70 bucks. Definitely going to go snag that thing this weekend! Thanks Phil, you always seem to come through lol.

  • @kentissue2215
    @kentissue2215 5 років тому

    I have 15 pedals currently at my feet (Crybaby and Whammy are off board) and only two of them are MXR...Carbon Copy and Analogue Chorus. Both serve me very well. Thanks for the vid!

  • @BillMellow
    @BillMellow 5 років тому +2

    The il torino is worth every penny. I was lucky to snag mine when Sweetwater was clearing them out for $70. It's by far my favourite pedal.

    My old yellow distortion + has not left my board since the mid 90's.

    Those are my only 2 favorites. Had a few others. Sold them. Got a phase90 but it rarely is in my chain

    @BillyMoonMan 5 років тому +1

    Mxr classic 108. It's a fuzz face without the crap. Buffer really helps with putting pedals in front of it. Boosting it with a bd -2 right now. Awesome! But then again you have to like fuzz.

    @bradhargis2261 2 роки тому

    I had a carbon copy bright for years and gigged with it regularly. It was my favorite delay pedal. Stopped gigging, then sold it to fund the purchase of the horizon devices flux echo.
    I miss my carbon copy bright.

    @gregebersole2691 5 років тому

    I have the '78 custom badass. Love it for some Bon Scott era AC/DC tones. I have to check out the video of the Boss pedals.

  • @brianyarbrough1720
    @brianyarbrough1720 5 років тому

    The Phase 100 and the Dynacomp were major pedals for me growing up. I still use a Dynacomp

  • @chrstopherthomas6952
    @chrstopherthomas6952 5 років тому

    Cool video man. The pedals are cool but I love that guitar. That's the exact fender I want. I have 3 Squier strats 3 Jackson guitars a B.C. Rich mockingbird and a off brand P bass. ( a Galveston, it's actually really nice. ).

  • @skeetschuler1859

  • @wadecourtney8958
    @wadecourtney8958 5 років тому

    I tried a few Phase 90 pedals, the EVH, the script logo, the block logo & I decided on the Zakk Wylde Phase 90. To me it sounded a little darker with a more pronounced sweep which is good for me cmbecause I use it with bass along with a MXR Black Label chorus, a MXR Blowtorch overdrive with boost, a MXR bass D.I.+distortion, A Dunlap 105Q bass Wah & a Dunlop volume pedal

  • @jezmez68
    @jezmez68 3 роки тому

    That Blue Box is great with output at 10, and the Blend around 3:00. Pretty sure that's the Jimmy Page "Fool in the Rain" solo setting. I love that sound. It's cool to play pedal steel like notes with that setting.

  • @telesandstrats3297
    @telesandstrats3297 5 років тому

    I have the MXR analog chorus and love it! Wouldn't have another chorus.

  • @macdonny
    @macdonny Рік тому

    I have the distortion III, and the super badass distortion on my pedal board. They both sound great! I use the III for a heavy classic rock sound, and the badass for more modern sounds. The III has huge output, and the badass has a great eq!

  • @TheEaglewoman2

    @Polyphemus. 10 місяців тому

    I amassed a fairly sizable collection of MXRs from my days working in music shops. 24 at last count, even after selling a couple. I have most of the ones shown here. The Blue Box was my first, and still a fave. Along with the '78, Carbon Copy, Echoplex Pre, Univibe and La Machine, I'd add the Analog Chorus, Bass Octave Deluxe, Sub Machine and Phase 99 to my top ten.

  • @jessevassallo
    @jessevassallo 5 років тому

    Big fan of these top 10 videos. I would change the il torino and the 5150 for the micro amp and the 10 band eq.

  • @SneedyKetler
    @SneedyKetler 5 років тому +1

    I’m glad they started reissuing the Phase 45 after many years OOP. It’s only 2-stage phasing, so it sounds a little different than the Phase 90, more forgiving to edge-of-breakup tones… definitely an unsung pedal.

  • @flynn_22
    @flynn_22 5 років тому

    Mxr echoplex is my favourite after that it’s the m300 reverb then the submachine and then the analog chorus they’re my favourites

  • @LightningDogg
    @LightningDogg 5 років тому

    My favorite, the only MXR I own, is the Carbon Copy "dark". I don't really get the same impression you get, but you've forgotten more than I know about guitar sounds. I just like it.☺

  • @rickeguitar9086
    @rickeguitar9086 5 років тому +1

    How about the Distortion +? That was my first distortion pedal. MXR made some really neat pedals and were solid in their construction.

  • @davedger
    @davedger 5 років тому +1

    The boost mini. It's the echoplex preamp and the micro amp all in one

  • @mattgilbert7347
    @mattgilbert7347 2 роки тому

    The '78 distortion is the Keeley Seeing Eye Modded DS-1.
    Others have answered the '78 thing. That mod switch is the Keeley contribution.

  • @KRAZEEIZATION
    @KRAZEEIZATION 5 років тому

    I’ve never owned an MXR pedal. I think the Phase 90, micro chorus, Dyna comp and blue box are on my list now! It seems they don’t have an overdrive from the 70s? The GT OD is a newer pedal.

  • @uwwdelta
    @uwwdelta 5 років тому

    I run two of the mxr custom badass modified overdrive pedals. One I run with very little gain to boost my Peavey jsx. The second one I run with a moderate amount of gain on a clean Channel much like you would use a distortion pedal.

  • @cyb3r3vil30
    @cyb3r3vil30 5 років тому +2

    My two only favorite MXR is Dime Distortion and compressor pedal
    As you like Boss I have Mega Distortion I hate it my love is with EHX and old ROSS pedals

  • @MeloSomethin
    @MeloSomethin 5 років тому

    Hey Phil, so about the custom badass 78, I remember reading somewhere when researching the pedal that it was named that reference to the boss ds-1 since it was introduced in 1978, and the pedal itself is based on a modded ds-1. Mind you I read this on a forum so, yeah. Btw, I'm surprised you didn't put the Custom Badass Distortion, a surprisingly versatile pedal if you ask me, the Zack Wylde OD is pretty neat as well, then there's the Custom Badas O.D. though it's on the modded od-1 territory.

  • @Setright230
    @Setright230 5 років тому

    It was a great review I do lean toward the original carbon copy custom as if open the back you do have two dip switches, that G Tripps does do on a few pedals lol. I’m surprised being a few OD you didn’t add the Fet especially the custom shop one. As a blues a that with a blues driver or tube screamer original 808. You can really thicken up some lead on single or humbucker. But even play with some rythym. It’s a little under looked as it’s the pedal that I’ve found with some valve distortion going can shape it or alone clean is transparent but gives this slight change for fullness. But I’d love to know what u have done to your 65 Deluxe. The valve truck on my hot rod was a fantastic cheap improvement to that amp. But you 65 sounded nice so would be great. Do you use any keeley pedals, love the 4 knob Comp he does and if still doing the first of what I call Jimi in a box with a added pedal. You Can have octave vibe and change it’s got the fuzz the wah but all slight adjustable for if play around and sit with a piece paper can set for different yrs of his tone. A cheap extension pedal it is really amazing.

    Hello Phillip, first of all, congratulations for your channel, this is the first time I put a comment on UA-cam because I finally think I saw something great (your channel). I don't know if you can guide me , I have a RAT pedal and an MXR overdrive (Zakk Wylde Signature) and I just can't find a great sound putting both together, I like how they sound indvidually but I would like for you to give me a "fix". I know it is all about the taste of each person but so far I like yours. Regards

  • @bluesvertigo3961
    @bluesvertigo3961 5 років тому

    Carbon Copy Deluxe by far!! It includes both the original CC and the CC Bright, plus a bit of additional delay time, modulation and an expression pedal jack.
    Also Phase 95 since it also includes 45 and 90 in both Script and the nonscript (?) circuits.

  • @peterwelsh1932

    78 is the release of the Boss DS1. The Custom78 distortion is a clone of the Keeley modded DS1. Before I had the chance to find a used Keely DS1, I got this one. And I finally found a Keeley DS1. I swear, they sound exactly the same.

  • @ericfranco6336
    @ericfranco6336 Рік тому

    If you use the EVH 5150 Overdrive with a Marshall using a crunch tone, set the pedal like you wold usually set a Tubescreamer (low gain, high level) and it will produce an awesome "brown sound" distortion.
