Funky Vintage: Mu-Tron Bi-Phase | Reverb Video Demo
Музыка
On this episode of Funky Vintage, we’re getting groovy with the Mu-Tron Bi-Phase. If you’re huge Smashing Pumpkins fans (like we are), you might already know about this hefty dual-circuit phaser, but if you don’t, take a look at this video and hear all of its phase-y goodness.

This is a real man's size pedal...as God intended.
I think that's the first time I've heard Thru The Eyes Of Ruby in a pedal demo. Good stuff!
Criminal to not showed this in action in stereo. It’s the holy grail of STEREO phasing
I had one of these when I was a kid back 25 some odd years ago and I bought it for $25 from a store that didn't really know what it could do. Now later on in life they sell for $1000-$2000 yet I don't even know where it is or who I loaned it to. :/ Moral of the story always hang on to your pedals because one day you'll look for them and may realize they ended up in borrowed borrowed land. :/

I hear you. I had an old dean markley tube amp I loaned to somebody over 20years ago. Haven’t seen it since. Luckily I found another one on Craigslist at a good price so I jumped on it😜
That Super Phasing is so heavenly to me ears. I'd like to see you demo this again with some Fuzz and Overdrives, I'm sure you'd Jam the life out of us Joe.
Frank Zappa used Two..... Damn real-estate that took up!
Lee scratch perry
So easy, even a caveman can use it
Now thats what I call a phaser!!! Actually I am very familiar with the Mu-Tron Bi-phaser. Terry Kath from Chicago used one on stage and in the studio. Its the big grand daddy and way cool vintage sounds!
Great demo!
How long was Joe imprisoned in that room with his Tele Deluxe? That is a sexy pedal. 70's analog stylee.

@@philzyqotsa It's still called Bi Phase, but all ads were pulled as of this morning. I'm not sure why, but I ordered through Sweetwater before they were pulled, and was assured stock would be coming in by late March/early April. My SW sales rep communicated through email today and reassured me my order is still valid, so I'm sure the listings reappear soon. If I were you I'd call them and ask, because these will be spoken for quickly.
the best Phase ever, Mu-Tron rules!
you guys should do the Digitech space station!
One day, one lucky lad will play the mayonaise solo with one of these things in all of its glory

Orochi Oh really? I assumed it was this one because Butch Vig said that they ran everything through it (bi phase)
The late Doug Rauch used that bi phase on Santana's Welcome album. He used it on bass on the outro to the song When I Look Into Your Eyes.
That was the intro to Through the eyes of Ruby by the Smashing Pumpkins. Is this pedal anything like the Craig ANderton Phase Shifter? I looked at both Schematics, and they both appear to be opto isolator based. Maybe the Anderton pedal is a good alternative for those of us that can't afford the Mu-Tron, but can solder, and read schematic?
I have one, vintage. Full cream.

There was a lot of cream in my bi phase too. Wait, what are we talking about?
I know this is Smashing Pumpkins, but it reminds me of Aurora Borealis by Meat Puppets, especially the tone
Thru the eyes of ruby very surprised me!
Spiritualized album Lazer Guided Melodies... best use of bi-phase ever.

I have been trying to reach someone at that company I can’t reach anybody. And I can’t find the effects pedal anywhere else unless it’s used
It sounds like Jell-O.
Too bad its almost $2000!!! Berhinger! Please remake this for $50!

It is on it's way. Probably not for $50 but yes, there is one coming out soon.
Very strong sounding but not in a bad way
Anybody know if this was the phase box that Joe Zawinul used on his Rhodes? If not, which one might it be? Doesn't sound like an MXR100 or a Small Stone (at least to my ears). Also thinking maybe the Mu-Tron Bi-Phase was used on B. Joel's "Just the Way You Are . Can anybody confirm with relative certainty? Inquiring minds wanna know. :-) Thanks!

Without Question... Joe Zawinul used this on his Rhodes. You can see two of them in this photograph: www.pinterest.com/pin/331647960031220013 For Billy Joel 's 'Just the Way You Are', it was the EHX small stone. His producer, Phil Ramone, arranged for it. Source: Making Records: The Scenes Behind the Music By Phil Ramone (or just type Phil Ramone small stone phaser in your search engine). Richard Tee was also a user of the Small Stone .
Wow, we need a reissue like the muff. I'll spend $800 on a API512,Neve or guitar....but a pedal.
ZAPPA!
What year is it where a single pedal is this freaking big lol
lee perry used one of these
Not a fan of the "Super Phasing", but a great pedal none the less.

Pi-phase maker here - if you think a Pi-Phase is expensive, try looking at Bi-Phase prices! Unfortunately there's no escaping that making complex all-analog devices isn't cheap though.

What serial number is your pedal? It's possible to tweak things a bit if you're not happy with the sound, but keep in mind each Biphase sounds a little different these days through component drift and possible need for calibration.

I have one for sale.
I own four of these in the event anyone is on the hunt.
I don’t think these should be worth what they go for now. It looks cool as a vintage piece but not blown away by the effect. There are $100 phasers out there that sound better imo
I hate to be that guy but your playing that pumpkins riff wrong lol
Tune yer guitar son
Wait, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is reviewing pedals for Reverb now??
70' phase unit, 70s' hairdo. The guitar is slightly out of tune though.
