News: More MXR Reissues On The Way

After the recent success of the Custom Shop Script Phase 90 and ’74 Vintage Phase 90 it should come as no surprise that other vintage MXR pedals are being reissued by Dunlop Manufacturing.

Here’s what the marketing suits at Dunlop are saying: (I’ve fixed the errors in their copy . . . it should be ‘80s not 80’s guys!)

Micro Chorus – “This ‘80s reissue delivers a stunning range of rich chorus textures, from sparkly watery shimmers to intense rotating speaker simulation with a twist of the Rate control. The Micro Chorus is designed with old-school bucket brigade technology for warm analog tone and features true bypass for pure guitar tone when the pedal is off. Its road-worthy hardware and components are housed in a space saving Phase 90 sized box.”

Micro Flanger – “Based on the benchmark sounds of the MXR M117 Flanger, the MXR Micro Flanger classic features many of the same flanging effects of its big brother, but in a smaller and more convenient size. Originally released in the ‘80s, this faithful recreation features the same two critical controls—a Speed knob to control the rate of cycling and a Regeneration knob to manage the overall intensity—and stays true to its 100% analog bucket brigade technology for the ultimate in warm and organic tone. The Micro Flanger has been updated with a true bypass switch so you don’t lose any tone during bypass. Go from jet plane like sweeps to cool outer space type effects with the MXR Micro Flanger.”

Phase 45 – “The ’75 Vintage Phase 45 reissue from the MXR Custom Shop reproduces the rare little brother of the Phase 90 to exacting specifications. With two stages of phasing, the Phase 45 offers up it’s (sic) subtle and musical voice via hand-matched FETs and hand-wired circuit board. Authentic tried and true components and hardware such as a Carling switch, CTS pot and Switchcraft jacks.”

Considering the very positive reaction to the other recent MXR reissues these should all be home runs.
