This is absolutely fantastic!
Instant purchase for me. Love the green too.
This is pretty much the closest I've heard in software to one of my favourite hardware phase shifters, the delay/phase module in the Roland System 700.
One suggestion for the beta phase, more fine control over very slow LFO rates would be great.

You can run this in demo mode. That's exactly what I did for the very short time before I made a purchase.

Thank you for a great VST and a good deal! After a trial run, that quickly convinced me of the quality of the phaser, I purchased it. Really a nice addition to my VST collection.
This evening I am going to try Stunning Phaser together with Poly-Ana, also by Admiral Quality.
Cheers,
Josh

Yes, we applied our usual tricks to this one so, while it costs a bit more CPU power than a typical stereo phaser will, it's well worth it in the sound quality it produces. (I expect before we're done the Beta there'll be a Quality control added to let you get "draft" quality to save a bit of CPU during tracking, etc. But it's not that bad now, though the Saturator coming in the 0.2.0 update is probably going to push it into noticeable when it's on.)
And yes, control curves. We're still fiddling with those, but please also note that you can get a finer degree of control in the two circular knob modes (Circular and the rarely implemented Relative-Circular mode) by moving your mouse far away from the knob as you turn it. You essentially get the entire circumference of your screen in pixels to adjust it, vs. just the length of the control that most linear sliders offer. We also offer a Linear mode, and you can turn that to fine control by holding SHIFT while you move the knob. (You can also switch between all thee knob modes on the fly with the other modifier keys!) These knob modes are set by the VST host-preference, which better hosts (and there are none better than Reaper) implement.
.....and it's my 50th birthday later this week, so I'm atypically going easy on myself. )
Will let you know when the next Beta update is out. Cheers!

Happy 50th for next week! I'll be there myself in a little over three years.
Regarding Stunning Phaser, CPU use is quite modest here at between 0.3 and 0.9 percent per instance depending on settings. I'm running an i7 7700K @ 4.3 GHz.
Thanks for the tips on the modifiers too. I'd found some of those through curiosity.
What's the best way to submit feature requests and bugs during beta testing? I'm regularly here on the REAPER forum if that works for you. One advantage of that is that others could see requests and that might hopefully prevent multiple requests for the same thing and also inspire other similar requests leading to an efficient pooled resource which this forum is renowned for.

Yep, posting them here is fine. You can also email us at info@... or send me a PM on this forum.
Still tweaking a few things but hoping to have 0.2.0 out later tomorrow (Wed).

Looking forward to checking out 0.2,0.
Will keep posting my findings and feature requests here.

How does it compare to the flanger rfx chain you came up with?

You're probably already aware of this but phasing and flanging, while similar in character, have sonic differences because they are obtained differently.
Phasing usually uses a bunch of all pass filters swept by an LFO to create moving phase shifts in the spectrum which are then mixed back into the dry signal.
Flanging uses delays swept by an LFO (when done electronically) which are then mixed with the dry signal to create comb filtering and doppler shifting. The "through the null" effect is achieved by inverting the polarity of one of the signals.
Both often use a variable feedback of the output to the input to add resonance to the effect.
My FX chain, as you know, is designed to simulate the mechanical flanging effect of two open reel decks manipulated by hand. This is quite a different effect to phasing and I tend to use both for different applications.
I was going to play around with ReaEQ and all pass filters with parameter modulation to create my own phasing effect (and I will probably still do so simply because I love to experiment) but this 'Stunning Phaser' gets me the sound of my favourite hardware phasers (Eventide and Roland) quite effectively.

I may be misunderstanding how phasers work, but does this plugin give the ability to manually control the sweep through automation? in other words, can I set a slope to go from 0 to 90 degrees out of phase over an arbitrary time frame?
I see the "off" LFO option in the GUI screenshot so I'd assume this is possible but thought I'd confirm.
