Maybe Mr. Mikev could answer? which one did Heart use for Barracuda? I might be joining a band that does some Heart but I also play Eruption and would like to know if I could purchase one that would do an adequate job for both. Real estate is getting very small on my pedal board?

Thanks in advance for any advise I can get on this topic!

it's a flanger on barracuda...
it's a phaser on erruption...

it is dang near impossible to find a good analogue flange these days... so I'd probably lean towards the phaser and 'fake it' for barracuda.

mxr phase 90... don't believe all the hype about the eddie model... it's got two differences - 1 a feedback resistor is cut on his... doesn't make that big of a dif IME but is an easy mod (just cut one side of r22!)
2 - a button that switches in a resistor that sets the speed knob to the 'exact' spot eddie used it at - as if it's so hard to turn a dial.

Thanks Mike that is what I thought. Your knowledge has set my mind at ease!

roger that - my pleasure.
