    MXR phase 90 issue

    in Kit & Tab

    Posted

    Hmmmm.... I'm trying to rack my brains with this. I'm 99.9% sure I've heard of this problem before, on another message board I'm part of.

     

    I have a funny feeling that it's something like a bad diode or a bad capacitor or something like that, but I can't quite remember exactly. I'll see if i can find it though.

    At a guess, without having a proper listen/look at it, it could be a number of issues, such as the jacks, the power filtering section etc etc.

     

    Philllll's suggestion to try it with just a battery, not via the powersupply would actually help with figuring out what the problem might be.

     

    Try just running Guitar > Phase90 (powered by battery) > fairly clean setting on amp and let us know what happens then.

    also, fyi, there is a shitstrom of threads about making mansion replicas on this board. If I was going to take the piss out of anything, it would be that you didn't really look hard enough. Look at anything in the general luthiery thread, or people's specific threads on their manson replica.

     

    In conclusion, if you used search and had some actual proper questions and read a few posts, green glitter sounds pretty cool actually. Not using search and reading, it's not a kaoss pad you put into guitars, it's an xy midi controller, and taking the piss out of someone looks like this:

    Fake Manson? Where did i said that it's body is going to be shaped exactly like a Manson? Do you see Manson pickups? And btw, the stage-thing was just an example. I'm mostly going to use this for recording...

     

    And one other thing: Why do you people have to be so rude against me? Like ''omg noob kid go to work get your 3,5K and buy a real Manson that's a fake lol it sucks''

     

    First of all: I'm not trying to make an exact copy of MB-1. This is only inspired from it and probably only things that are going to be the same are flaked/glitter color (well, not even that, this is going to be green or yellow, not red) and the Xy-pad.

     

    Secondly: This project is just for fun. I'm not trying to create anything special or unusual. I just want to make a guitar that looks cool in my eyes. So, if you are here only to tell me, that it will look and sound awful and it's a fake, please go away. You can't tell me what looks good for me. And for being fake... Look to the first part of this text.

     

    Thirdly: If you look the project guitar closely and then Manson MB-1, you may notice that they don't look the same: They have differently shaped bodies, different pickups, a little different headstocks...

     

    So, maybe that tells you that I AM NOT TRYING TO COPY MB-1. I'M TRYING TO MAKE MY OWN GUITAR, WHICH IS INSPIRED BY MB-1 :)

     

    Maybe you should actually think about the point people are trying to make before you assume we're calling you a twat. If i was going to call you a twat, I'd call you a twat.

     

    What I was saying is that there's no point in modding a guitar to bits if your playing/recording/whatever sucks. The whole point of modding something is to take something you like, and adjust it to what you need. Putting in superfluous stuff like xy pads and whatever is pointless UNLESS you absolutely need to be able to use it from the guitar. Is the difference in milliseconds between touching it on your guitar, and on a proper midi controller beside where you're playing going to crucially affect the outcome of the song? I'd like to see that.

     

    Modding should be a thing of necessity, and not just "because you can." For example, I have a peavey rotor ex. I never ever liked any pickup I had in the neck position, so I got rid of it. With the pickup I had in the bridge, it was all I really needed, however, for playing certain controls, I needed a tone somewhere between a bridge humbucker and a single-coil in the neck, so I put in a coil-split control for the bridge, and it was perfect. A simple pot did it, although if I wanted to, I could have done it with a backlit touch-sensitive circular pot similar to a classic ipod wheel.

    "OH WOW that guy totally has a manson!!! Pity his playing sucks sweaty diseased ass...."

     

    just sayin. If your playing is awesome, nobody will give a fuck what guitar you have. BUT, if your playing is fucking awful, your fancy shiny fake manson wont matter at all.

    actually, that's a seriously neat little solution to making a stand. I'd be tempted to look into making something like that, but I've no space in my room, but I might be getting one of the spare rooms in the next few months to turn into a maankaev. I'd sort something out then.

    Ikea do a handy shelf unit which is exactly the right size to hold a load of 12" vinyl and about the right height for the decks...

    oh then it's probably ok. Most of it would be cut/sanded/whatever else where and then brought into studio. Mind you, there was lots of things like spraymount, paints and glues always being used. you kinda get used to it.

    If you go down the MDF route make sure it's properly painted. MDF particles are up there with aspestos.

     

    I didn't know this. hahaha! That means the last 6 years of my life in architecture school have just been an asbestos fest hahaha!

    if you want one that's not going to move anywhere, go for it. They don't look too portable. I've seen magma stands in a tonne of nightclubs and they're solid as a rock. Anything on them isn't going anywhere. If you're a dj playing clubs and you give more of a fuck about what your gear looks like than the music you're playing, sorry to be the barer of bad news, but you're in the wrong industry.
