This is a device I’m trying to search for and the best option I’ve found isn’t readibly available on the used market: The Vermona PH-16. I’m open to Eurorack, desktop, or rack configurations. I just need stereo, analogue, and one that can be modulated by the input amplitude of the signal without any LFO active. Any suggestions?

The Vermona is such a great piece of gear, my partner used to have one back in Tokyo, where the brand was very popular. Following this as Id love to put my hands on an analogue phaser myself :slight_smile:

Pair of Moogerfooger 103s?

Are you looking for the envelope follower to be integrated into the module? If not, Schippmann PHS-28 is stereo. It’s a great phaser. You would need a separate envelope follower module as well.

since you’re already into Euro, the most flexible/cost-effective/readily-available way would be a pair of Doepfer phasers, plus an envelope follower module if you don’t have one.

they have several options, but the best-sounding one to me (from clips) is the new A-101-8. it’s based off the phaser used on so many Kraftwerk/krautrock albums and thus has a very familiar feel. they’re fairly inexpensive ($135-155 new) bc they’re BYO modulation, which is great for your purposes!

the patch should be pretty self-explanatory; just a tip that if you only follow one side of the stereo signal (or a sum) and feed that to the CV inputs of both, you’ll have smoother modulation, though you may want the more dramatic effect!

Easy.

Solid suggestion; cheap enough to be worth experimenting with, and leverages everything else I’ve already got. Great idea, Martín, thank you.

this ties into what I would’ve suggested if digital was in play, which is that the H90 has an excellent Instant Phaser emulation that I’m currently enjoying a lot as two parallel instances in stereo
