Loss of High End in Phase 90
I have a very early block Phase 90, recently it sounds really dark and I loose a bunch of high end. Any thoughts? I have in the past gotten (?) a bit of high end boost with it.
Thanks

Roger, if you're using a battery as a power source, it may be an older battery and as it drifts slowly down in voltage it may misbias certain sections of the circuit causing a tone change. just a thought.
i would also closely inspect any recent changes as Maverick suggested

It does it with all my different guitars and various pickups. I tried changing the battery. It still phases and sounds good just sounds darker than it did, or what I thought it did.

Never had a phase 90, but my phase 45 has a trimpot that affects the sound.

the same exists in the phase 90, but be careful adjusting this trimpot. do VERY small turns and try the result.SteadyEddie wrote:Never had a phase 90, but my phase 45 has a trimpot that affects the sound.
other than that it could be a bad component in the phase 90.
is there a volume drop along with the high end loss?

Geez, I figured out that I had another cable issue. Same issue as in my cables, Cables, CABLES! thread. If, through lots of use, the solder (or atleast mine) can come a bit loose. Ugh, nothing wrong with the pedal.
