I got this off list, I'll reply on-list because I think others may
benefit,
The Phaser in question was part of the ARP Quadra. In my view it is
what made The Quadra worth owning. Anybody correct me if I'm wrong,
but I believe that very few Quarda's survive today because of the
touch switches on the front panel.
As for Phasers in general, ARP, sometime in the late 70's
bought out the product line of Mu-Tron. Yes, ARP made the MuTron
Phasers, Bi phase , Octave Divider and some sort of 'Wah' pedal I
believe ( I forget , it's been 20+ years! ) The Mu-Tron Phaser and
Bi-Phase used a Hamamatsu device with 6 LDR's and a single LED. Too
bad that they are not still available.
More to come...
