I agree with RG. I have never heard a noticable difference in sound by increasing or decreasing wire size on any wires in low voltage pedals and I have replaced many.  
 
 
 
Alex e-mailed me this same question and I told him that on the original Small Stone's I am not aware of any volume drop with the effect on. I have owned one in my lifetime and I did not notice any volume drop. What I mentioned to Alex was that Phase shifters vary the amplitude of the wave form to a user adjustable RATE setting and maybe he just hears more of the low portion of the sweep.  
 
 
 
Although, he may have a legitimate problem with his pedals also like dirty input/output connectors, leaky caps, or drifting resistors?  
 
 
 
Anyone else heard of an inherant drop in volume with Small Stones?
