What problems are you having?

My approach is to make sure both "MIX" outputs are 100% wet, feed the
output back through an inverter and use an external audio mixer. The
output of the mixer becomes the input to the phaser.

The inverter makes for better sounding resonances. Also, try to start
with both "phase" controls in the same position, then adjust to find
the sweet spot.

Also, the resonances can become unstable at very high frequencies,
making for a screeching oscillation, so you might want to put a
lowpass filter in the loop, cutoff around 8000 Hz.

Personally, I think the phasers sound better when you use them
individually or in stereo, setting up feedback loops as I have
described... dual is a lot more difficult to deal with as you say.
