The Baby Quasar was way to subtle On bass IMO. He to be set fairly extreme to really hear it work.

Subdecay Prometheus!

Envelope up, envelope down, step filter... crazy what trippy sounds are comin' out of this nice little blue box!

Wow, we must have really different setups, because it's been the most effective phaser I've tried with my rig thus far. What phaser do you dig, SmallEQ?

Felt the same way about the original Quasar as well. I honestly haven't used phaser much in my band despite having had quite a few. I think I used some of the phasers from the Line6 M series quite a bit and liked those well enough, part of that was that I could actually hear the effect. The two Subdecay products felt like they had the way less usable range than a small stone (at least on bass). I remember trying the Baby Quasar with a guitar and thinking it was much better suited there. So far I really like the phasers on the Orbital Modulator, but at least part of that is the access to the different parameters and stages. I feel like I can really tweak it just right, plus I love the envelope phasing options. I don't know objectively how good the models sound, but I've found ways to work more phaser (and modulation in general) since I've had it.
