I just saw this - someone posted a Badstone schematic, which seems to
use a 4049 for its FETs.  Still a very cool idea, that I want to
experiment with.

BTW, how much of a difference do the VCR's make in a phaser design? Will
a design that uses FETs sound noticably different than a design that
uses photoresistors?  How about OTA-based phasers?  Can anyone describe
the sonic differences between these phasers, in a way that makes sense?

Thanks,

nice job of phasing in the digital domain)
