Somebody recently mentioned that great analog EQ's do not induce phase shift. With one possible exception, I believe this not to be true (the exception: the NTI, which I think is no longer made). Get out your GML 8200 or most any other high quality EQ. Set it to a relatively narrow Q and turn up the gain to, say, +15 Db. Run a sound through this and sweep the frequency knob. You will hear the characteristic sound of a phaser because indeed the EQ does induce phasing. I am just speculating here but I would bet that the higher end or "more musical" sounding EQ's sound this way because perhaps they have been tuned to emphasize more pleasing sounding harmonics and/or decrease the less pleasing harmonics.
