The MXR Variphase is a killer twist on the classic Phase 90, providing more control over the sound and feel of the iconic effect than ever before. Built into a Cry Baby housing, the Variphase allows you to control the speed of the effect with your foot so you can ramp up and ramp down the effect as needed within and between songs. Set the speed to a slow, dramatic swoosh for strummed passages and then kick up the shimmery velocity for a ripping solo.

Open up the Variphase’s tonal spectrum with the Mix control, which enables you to set the ratio of wet to dry signals. Bring the phase effect up front and center with the Volume control. Finally, on the inside of the pedal, there’s a switch to toggle between aggressive Block phasing and the subtler Script sound.
