I don't really know, but the way I hear phasers sounds almost like sequencing to me, where 8 would have more steps from one end of the sweep to the other. Someone else should educate us some more, please.

The amount of stages affects how many notches are in the signal. 8 stage phasers have a much more resonant and intense sweep than a 4 stage.

Ah thanks for the replies guys,
I thought the sweep of a Small Stone was deep enough for me, and I guess that is only 4 stages.

Yeas, I have the 4 stage small stone sweep myself. Wouldn't mind having a couple more stages I guess

There's a teaser video out:

You should get a Whetstone!! It's an awesome, awesome, awesome phaser.

Damn!

An envelope-controlled phaser that can have the envelope control either the depth of the LFO or phase shift frequency (at least I think that's what it is). Awesome.

Can't say I like it.

Empress doesn't really do it for me.
