3. Upravljanje pedalom

The MXR Phase 90 is designed for straightforward operation with its single control knob.

Kontrole:

• Dugme SPEED: This is the only control on the pedal. It adjusts the rate of the phasing effect. Turning the knob clockwise increases the speed of the phase sweep, resulting in a faster, more intense modulation. Turning it counter-clockwise slows down the sweep, creating a more subtle and gradual effect.
• nožni prekidač: Press the footswitch to engage or bypass the effect. The red LED indicator will illuminate when the effect is active.

Savjeti za korištenje:

• Experiment with the 'Speed' knob to find the desired modulation rate for your music.
• Place the Phase 90 before or after distortion/overdrive pedals in your signal chain to achieve different tonal characteristics.
