FYI - here's how to make the Empress dirtier:
Harmonic Enhancement Circuit
The Empress Phaser has a clean and pristine sound by design. In
some instances, a dirtier sounding phaser may be desired. To
accomplish this, we’ve included a circuit which adds subtle, yet
pleasing, even order harmonics to the wet signal.
Engaging the Harmonic Enhancement Circuit
Engaging the circuit can be done by opening up your phaser and
locating the ‘BLEND’ dip array. Switching DIP1 on or off turns the
harmonic enhancement circuit on and off accordingly.

Yeah, also switching the blend from stock to 100% wet-able mode makes it way better too. Like honestly though I dont think it would get rid of any nasty high mids. im sure i dont notice/mind any nasty high mids honestly i just dig lots of crap sounding mid range

although I still like the PH-3s step setting more. It seems like the Hyperphase gets to more "extreme" territories, where the PH-3 almost is a bit modest. The step divistion on the PH-3 is more musical for my taste.
Hyperphase has some sweet glitch modes, too. YouTube it.
Ooooo this is relevant to my interests
That was my impetus in sending you that over some other phaser.

Thanks guys, I'll give that a try, long time since I dabbed around with it.

Ok I thought about lordgalvar's suggestion and popping out the lfo on a phase 90 circuit and putting in one of those electric druid taplfo chips onstead should be a really easy operation, no? Like there is probably some small reverb buildre who has done this already like you get a phase 90 with more waveshapes and tap tempo there should be some demand.

I've tried something like that once, it didn't bring the results I wanted... although I have to say I wasn't that experienced with electronics back then.
You really have to pay attention to not mess something up with the control circuit for those JFETs regarding their control voltage and stuff like that. It is for sure doable, but I'd suggest designing and building something from scratch based on the Phase90 rather than modding an existing one.

yes you are right, building from scratch would be better.

btw anybody who has had a cusack tap-a-phaser? that seems to have the required steppy stuff and probably is nothing more than a modded 90
OT: damn did anybody here know seymour duncan made a 16! stage phaser, i didnt know they made crazy stuff like that

Ok how about this? It's orange! Probably not quite phase 90 cause it's ldr/fet somehow (but its orange)
Edit: It may just be so that it has fet phase stages controlled by ldrs like an uhhh..
but hey!

was the drolo phaser mentioned already? It has step mode and could probably get into Phase90 territories:

thats 6 stage so its super awesome and swooshy but in no way like a phase 90

Tap a phase was my thought as well. Had the trem for a while and it was really cool.
