All Boss phasers up until the PH-3 has been analog phasers based on BBD circuits. The PH-3 has a digital design that’s very different both in design and sound. The PH-3 has 4, 8, 10 and 12 stage phasers and also three new modes called Fall, Rise and Step. Rise and Fall creates unidirectional phasing sounds. That means that the phasing sound will always be going down or always be going up. The Step mode applies filter modifications in a non-consecutive manner giving some unique phasing effects.
