PT-999 Phase Tone Pedal
The Maxon PT-999 Phase Tone is a true vintage phaser that has remained virtually unchanged since its 1974 introduction. Unlike many "reissue" pedals that merely mimic the look of the original, this little blue box houses the exact same circuit that made the legendary Phase 90 a staple of 70s rock. The secret lies in Maxon's meticulous attention to detail - they've meticulously reproduced the original Toshiba FET transistors that give the PT-999 its uniquely "chewy" phasing character. Crank the lone Rate knob and you'll be transported back to the golden age of classic rock, with the PT-999 effortlessly recreating the lush, organic phase tones that defined the era. But don't mistake this for a one-trick pony. The PT-999's wide sweep range, from a slow, undulating throb to a frenetic jet-engine whir, allows you to dial in anything from subtle thickening to full-on psychedelic swirl. And its transparent design means it'll play nicely with both clean and distorted tones, adding dimension without compromising your core sound. If you're chasing the holy grail of vintage phase tones, look no further than the Maxon PT-999. This is the real deal - a living, breathing piece of 70s history that will transport your playing to new dimensions without breaking the bank. It's no wonder the PT-999 has been a secret weapon for countless guitarists over the decades, from Van Halen to modern-day tone chasers.
