And I wonder if it's even real CV. Homeboy was only demo'ing it with volume pedals. Sometimes folks play fast and loose with the term... One awesome thing about the Moog Phaser is the switchable 12-stage phasing. If you engage 12-stage phasing the first 6 stages are controlled by the internal LFO and then you can control the other 6 stages with CV via the LFO input in the back. This makes for some crazy complex rhythmic phasing possibilities. Hard to explain, but you get the gist.

This is relevant to my interests,I had no idea. I'm trying to start collecting the moogerfoogers....

Y U BUMP THIS, dorfmeister?

I still has GAS & these are out of production (and a bit expensive).

This. And running LFO out to freq in on ring mod.
What happens when you run LFO out from MF102 to LFO in on MF103?

Tell me now!

how slow and wide to the KRP's go?

Not sure anyone here's actually ever played one. This demo that dorfmeister posted is pretty good though:

I had a KRP-1 for a short time.

Pros: unique sweep and sound character
Cons: price, size, Mode Machines has a reputation for mediocre build quality

They are perhaps the thinnest-sounding phasers you'll ever use (the complete opposite of something like a Wombtone). If you've used an Infanem Faye Sing on a string patch without any other effects, you'll have some idea of what I'm talking about. Somewhere I have some lo-fi .mov files, but I can't find them right now.

I sold mine, because I couldn't justify having $400 tied up in something I would use less than the two Moogerfoogers I already had. If I was raking in substantial money, then I'd pay $600-700 for a vintage one. (lately the gear robber barons have been asking $850-1200).

These are not a cheap or quick build, but the PCBs are available again for the Jürgen Haible PCB.
