bass phaser

[lowstar]

hi folks,

i recently built the bad stone from topopiccione, and while it´s a cool phaser, it doesn´t sound too good with bass.
i did some searching, but other than some ways to make a phase 45 sound better with bass, i found no solution.

so i have two questions:
1) which phaser would be the "mother of all the bass phasers" ? i got a polyphase in the works, i got the parts for a small stone already, and 52fx builds tucked under my belt. so difficulty would not be that much of an issue 

2) i like those soundsamples: http://public-peace.de/exar/phasing/phasing.htm, especially the one called "tapper".
they are from the exar phaser ph-04. now i don´t want to clone the exar phaser, but i would like to get this kind of "deep phasing" from one of the many diy builds.

so, have a heart for the bass players !

cheers,
lowstar

You could try increasing C14 on the Badstone to 0.47uf or even 1uf which would allow the lower frequencies from your bass through better,

Yes, I can recommend the above named;

I love the Poly-phase on bass...... it is so good (even stock) but really comes alive when modded.

I love my old TC XII Phaser, it's the "BK" version meaning Bass/Keyboard, also sounds
fantastic on GTR.
Have not seen a schem for this anywhere, its a complex beast but has dozens of different
sounds
Making in/out caps much larger should help a lot with bass, try a least 220n, perhaps 470n
or 1uf, if you can get some poly caps that large.

MM.

thanx for your answers so far.
will making the input/output caps bigger also make the sweep go deeper ? i thought that would be harder to accomplish, like somewhere in the notch/filter section.
actually, i had the t.c. phaser for quite a while, but i don´t know which version. maybe i should try to get it back to try it out again (that was before my diy times - actually, that´s when i started my diy times, cause that friend, who has a whole collection of the t.c. pedals, gave a t.c.chorus/pm/flanger to me that needed repair, and he let me keep it ;-)

cheers,
