[James Husted]

The company I work for (Symetrix) used to make a unit we called the Phase
Filter that used 2 ssm2040's in an All Pass config. The thing that made it
sound great was the control voltage setup. The two filter chips were run
from the same cv but they were never calibrated to track together and the
result was a very deep and fluid sounding phaser. We originally designed it
with 3 ssm2040's but in that config the thing was WAY too intense (it bent
notes and stuff). Having multiple filter banks that don't perfectly track
together makes a huge difference in the sound of phasers.
