Something I've been thinking about...

If you should set 2 smallstone phasers behind each other like this:
RHODES-----SMALLSTONE-----SMALLSTONE-----AMP

is it possible to get the Mu-tron Biphase sound? The first would work as "Phasor A" and the second as 'Phasor B". And running both phasers on different speeds?

the Bi-Phase has a lot more parameters to influence its sound (sweep generators i.e.) by use of differents combinations etc.
Plus the circuitry is just different so it would be hard to get that type of sound anyway.

Possibly by playing with:


Rhodes |----------> 1st Phase -----------> 1st Mixer channel
              |----------> 2nd Phase ----------> 2nd Mixer channel


But, as stated, the bi-phase has a few more parameters.  But, if you're willing, you can open the small stone.  I'm pretty sure the resonance is a trimmer (it is on the original Mutron Phase and Phaser II).  You switch out the trimmer with a pot and bring it to the surface.
