Ron Nealey used to make those -- not cheap though. Uses a funny little connector. You could probably get a schematic off him for $5 or so. Save you a lot of hassle trying to figure it out.

"A six-pin Molex type connector located on the rear of the unit provides connection to an optional three-button footswitch that duplicates the operation of the three buttons, providing remote foot control of the phaser"

Could you just put it in a true bypass loop?

I would say yes, but that would limit the functionality without having the 3 buttons. But I guess if you find one Phase tone you enjoy, you could just throw it in a loop and just bypass it

It's also got a plate on the bottom so you can mount it on a mic stand and flip the switches by hand ...
