What's your favorite analog phaser?

Analog:
Subdecay Prometheus (place in step mode, turn down the step, use the rate,depth,intensity to get your "phaser" on.
Boss PH-2 Super Phaser (use to own one that I modded for inverse phasing as well as stopping the rate; very noticeable swirl)

Digital:
Source Audio Orbital (has 4/6/8/12 stages with waveforms, blending of waveforms and lots of parameters to control)
EBS DPhaser (I use this as a very swirly phaser, has 18-stage phasing which sounds really good when slowed down and some Green Russian Muff added to it)
 
I had a Phase 90 Script but I lost some definition, especially when the downbeat is on the bottom part of the swoop.

Better results with my Source Audio Lunar Phaser. Great for that Roger Waters tone.

So THAT'S what the 'D' in DPhaser is for! I've always wondered... Somehow, that never occurred to me. Haha

Phase 100 > Phase 90.

I mean where do you go if you need that little push over the top?
This one goes to 100! That's 10 more innit?
Been watching a little Spinal Tap, have we? ;)

I recently tried the ehx bad stone and was very impressed. If you’re looking for a more pronounced/clearer sound I think it works really well for that. Honestly it sounded about as good as my chase bliss wombtone. Granted the wombtone has a tone more options. But the bad stone sounded great. Great enough to make me buy one.
 
In terms of performance and price being the sole factors in searching for a new box with versatility, I would have to point to the Boss PH-1R. The resonance control is a great feature for customization of tone, but there are clearly more powerful and professional phaser pedals you can attain.
