Well…that's what it looks like on the inside (Manual says it draws 8 mA):

OCD-ish guy that I am, I already added the box with manual etc. to my box collection in the basement. I'll take a look once I'm there again.
But I faintly remember that the regular Phase 90 also had a trimmer, which you somehow weren't supposed to touch? Maybe not "not supposed to", but I remember people saying that it was of not much use. I could be wrong, though.
Well I guess you could (as long as you remember the original position), but it seems it's not much use.
I'll also repeat what I said elsewhere: Sounds like a legit Phase 90 to me … at least in that mode The other modes are awesome too. The Phase 45 is maybe a tad too subtle for me.

Better NOT adjust the trim pot, the only use is for the factory setup to bias the sweet spot to make it phase. Of course there are some other pedals where you can use trim pots for fine tuning.
Yes, and it sounds awesome as is. Seriously, I just played around with it some more and I forgot how much fun these can be for a pedal with only one knob.

...and I just bought one today.

I debuted the Phase 95 during a rehearsal last night. No need for a volume control.
Wonderfully versatile lil' bugger too! Does everything from very mild thickening (aka sonic cornstarch) to deep swirly flanging-like sweeps, to almost a Leslie/UniVibe warble.
My only complaint is that the LEDs are ridiculusly bright! Nearly blinded me!
I played one yesterday and I really liked it.... except... well, I found the 45 setting too subtle, and I found the constant blinking of the LED with the rate to be annoying, since it stays blinking even when the pedal is off. So, for half the money I'd pick up a used block 90 personally, but for 100 bucks new and having the multiple choice of settings, I think the 95 sounds very nice. The block 90 setting didn't even boost the volume a bunch like some 90s can. Note; I was A/Bing it against a US (big silver) small stone, and it still has this edge over the Stone where it sounds, I dunno, slightly dirty by comparison - the SS was just too polite I guess.
after some weeks of testing the MXR Phase 95 i came to the conclusion that it only shines with stacked distortion or fuzz stacked before.
I found one used, mint condition, for 90 €. Received yesterday. Still got to try it. I will compare it with my regular Phase 90 and see if I dig this one better.
