I recently picked up an original Maxon PT-999, from back when it still mentioned Greco on the label. This is a slightly modified version of the Phase 90, and I have to say that so far it's the best 4-stage phaser I've ever owned. This thing stacks great in front of an overdrive and gives it that classic 70's "chew" that has been on countless recordings. It's a very musical phaser as well that doesn't overpower the mix or add a ton of it's own tone (and no volume drop). It just enhances whatever you've got going on with swirly goodness. I've never tried an original script logo Phase 90, but from what I've read online, this Maxon version is better. I'm impressed with the condition it's in too, considering it's 47 years old. If you like phasers and don't own one of these, it's highly recommended.

This is badass 8)! I've always wanted to get a hold of one of these and run it through its paces. I'm kind of a sucker for old Maxon modulation and delays.

Talk about cramming in the components! It's cool that they have an enclosure inside the enclosure for the PCB.

Nice, I don't know how they got it all in there and still working when it was boxed up.

Vintage 70's MIJ = Awesomeness that we're still trying to figure out.
