Uhbik P, Melda Phaser, Kilohearts phaser, most likely whatever phaser came with your DAW are all the same plugin on some level other than some parameter differences. I can't really see how you could have an "underdog"phaser when the implementation and DSP is mostly the same around the board outside of analog modelled phasers. If that's what you are after i would look into Eventide Instant Phaser MKII or D16 Fazortan 2, or if you want to DIY quirky phasers, look into Soundtoys PhaseMistress
Why do you expect the OP to read your lengthy reply if you obviously didn't even read his short original post?

Soundwise amongst the best and even already without the System host very versatile... and it even includes a playable tape-flanger.

The chorus in this bundle is absolute class.
A well-behaved signature.

This guy makes awesome plugins, including a phaser:

His CV includes modeling the Softube synths, Weiss EQ1, and Chandler Germanium:

I wish eftilo would do some sales, but he doesn’t want to unfortunately.

Ya, it is unfortunate. If not a sale at least a permanent bundle price or something.

I asked him about that as well, he did say he would address something’s with future releases.
Demo process and whatnot, maybe reevaluate
things like bundle pricing as well.

Nice! I would def be in the market for the bundle.

This was a surprise - very nice and has a lot more options than the simple looking GUI would seem to suggest - also does a good Small Stone

Not really a flanger, but it can do that. Liking Flaw from Tritik quite a lot.

Models of the BOSS BF-2 and MXR-117 flangers, and BOSS PH-1r & PH-2, MXR Phase 100, and EHX Small Stone phasers are the most desperately needed. It's crazy really that the audio plugin industry is as mature as it is and yet no one has modeled these absolute guitar staples as standalone plugins.
Since this post, Audiority has released models of the BOSS BF-2 and MXR-117 pedals. 8)

With these victories, our movement is now targeting the aforementioned phasers.

I don't remember if it has been mentioned before, but recently I rediscovered the Kiloheartz phaser, flanger and Ensemble, and I had forgotten how good they are. No bells and whistles, but simple, efficient, and good sounding.
