The only difference between the two is the single 22k resistor that adds a very very small amount of regeneration. There is no "tone suck". Any tone suck someone may have experienced with a newer Phase90 would be the same tone suck you'd get with any non-true bypass Script logo phase90 or any MXR pedal for that matter. Most people prefer the script logo because it's the first version and originals cost more, and so therefore, it must sound better. Cynicism aside, I do prefer the script logo specs simply because if I can't have control over the feedback regeneration, I generally prefer my phaser to not have any at all.

So, to answer your question in a way that I understand it, the block is less phasery than the script but more than the 45. That being said, depending on your settings, sometimes there is a little bit of distortion if you’re playing clean.

Actually, the Block version is a bit more "phasery" than the Script because of the bit of signal regen through that 22K resistor feedback loop.

But, hey, you don't have to pick one over the other--it's an easy mod to have both. Run two wires out of the eyelets for the 22K resistor to the two center pole lugs of an on-on DPDT toggle switch. Mount the 22K resistor across one pair of the throw lugs and leave the other pair open. VOILA! Script Phase 90 when the open pair is selected, and Block version when the the 22K throws are connected. See photos below. I mounted the mini-toggle through the side of the enclosure right over where the LED is soldered to the board--it fits really nicely there, and doesn't interfere with battery placement. Mine connects to the 22K eyelets through the pair of SIL sockets I had previously mounted to try the pedal with and without the 22K installed, but you're better off soldering the wires directly to the board if you're doing this mod from scratch.

Really? I’ve had it all wrong for the last 5 years. Well then I must add this to my build. What makes the script version so freakin sought after?

Mojo probably.

My whole world is crushed!!! I bought a 74 reissue a while back. Now I’m gonna have to buy a block. I’ve built all the phasers that I have come across so far, I probably need an intervention.

To quote Keith's comment above (complete with tongue-in-cheek commentary):

"Most people prefer the script logo because it's the first version and originals cost more, and so therefore, it must sound better."

Just for grins, I tried a 10K in that feedback loop, and got a self-oscillation that pulsed according to the speed control setting. So it's quite easy to go too far with the regeneration....


What part of the circuit creates the mojo, and when are you guys gonna come out with a kit for it???

Hear hear. While building this one, I too tried different values. 15k seems to be the absolute lowest I can handle, with 22k being the 'sweet spot' IMO.

I'm a born skeptic. But after listening to Dan from That Pedal Show compare his original script to a bunch of others, nothing could touch it. Not even close. It might just be that pedal, but it was clearly the best. Can't remember the episode, but a a little sleuthing will turn it up...

Oh yeah, I forgot, I do have the phase 95, duh
