Artist usage
Add artist
In the "Watch Mac DeMarco Live the Indie-Rock Dream" you can see his MXR Phaser on top of the amp at 2:04. I do not know what he uses it for but it's there.
"On this album some of the more memorable sounds came from an MXR Phase 99, which I borrowed from the good people at that company. It’s like two Phase 90s in one box. That’s all over “Pressure Relief” and “ZZ Top.” I don’t know if there was a subliminal Van Halen influence going on because we recorded in Sunset Sound where Fair Warning and Van Halen were recorded. Maybe some subliminal echo of Van Halen was there when we were recording. I felt the need to phase certain things."
At the 1:23 mark you can see this phaser Matt also goes on to speak about it.
"Having been a player that never used two phasers at once, I was pretty blown away with the sounds I was getting and I now have to retire my Phase 100's for the Phase 99!" via Pedals And Effects
