Phaser Types...?

Been meaning to ask, I never understood what the different Phaser types for the Radias insert effect meant.
There is a choice between "Blue" and "U_VB".
Couldn't find anything with google. Korg tech support didn't even know.
:?:Is the type supposed to emulate a vintage rack?
:?:Does either kind present a different way in which phasing is applied?
Spill the beans supergeniuses, cause Im stumped

I'm not sure about Blue, But I think U_VB could possibly be U-Vibe? I've only realised this after I noticed the U-Vibe effect on my AX3000B. Blue is probably named after a blue coloured stompbox.
Haven't had a chance to check yet, but does the manual have anything to say on it?

The manual does not give an explanation for the different phaser types unfortunately.
I think you're probably correct in your assumption though. However I was unable to find much information on the U-Verb rack you mentioned after attempting to investigate via youtube/google.
Going with your idea, the pedal could refer to a release by Line 6.

For the record, its 'u-vibe' not 'u-verb'. After a little research I found this:

One of the most famous variations on phase shifting came in the form of the Uni-vibe, mentioned earlier. This was marketed as a “chorus” effect, but was, in all actuality, a phase shifter. The unique throbbing helicopter sounds this box produced were key ingredients in some classic tracks produced the ‘60s and ‘70s.
Listen to:
- Hendrix’s “Machine Gun”
- and “Voodoo Chile (slight return)”
- Robin Trower’s “Bridge of Sighs”
for THE archetypal sounds of the Uni-Vibe.
Electronically there is a huge difference in how a Uni-Vibe worked, but the relevant thing is that it too is a kind of phase shifter.
