I moved the Phase 90 in front of the fuzz, wah-wah, and Carbon Copy delay and it made a world of difference.  In this video, I promised I would come back and just play the Phase 90 without the Vibe-Baby.  I'm super happy about the results.  I got much closer to the Country Blues tone I was shooting for.  The wah-wah works much better this way too.  The wah-wah is after the fuzz and the Phase 90.  Earlier I had the Phase 90 after the fuzz and wah-wah which did not work very well at all.  Keep experimenting.  You will find a combination that works the best.

P.S. Or, you can read the webpage where you bought the effect (which I just did) that explains exactly why you have to place the Phase 90 BEFORE a buffered pedal or you will lose tone and volume.  And, they explain that a buffered pedal would be like a delay pedal when it is on which is exactly what I have done in this video.  I guess it pays to read.  But, I've had this pedal for years.  Thanks to a subscriber's question, I researched it again and discovered this.  If you don't, have a buffered pedal, you can also order this Phase 90 from Analog Man with a buffer option.
