Beatles "Abbey Road" phaser sound

Hi,

 

I'm looking to get that Beatles "Abbey Road" phasing/flanging effect.

I know that at that time, there were no such pedal FX, they were doing it with tapes and/or thru Leslie.

 

All modern flanger devices sounds way too electronic and too 80's. Phasers are more organic and natural sounding.

 

Which phaser pedal do you recommend to replicate that warm vintage phase shifting effect?

MXR Phase 90?

Phase 100?

Electro Harmonix Small Stone?

I need your advice on that.

 

Thanks.

I love how the guy lists three sub-$60 pedals and Bieke comes out with his $400 answer and the dude's all like 'well, {censored}, I guess I shouldn't ask anything of THESE assholes anymore'.

 

It is the right answer, though.

 

Also look at the EHX Wiggler for spinning speaker emulation. That's only $100-$120 used.

I don't believe a Univibe could pull it off,let alone a phasor.You are in Leslie organ cab country.Also,there was a special way to mod the Leslie pre amp for guitar(a fairly common mod in the early 70's) and some kind of trick for Compressing/EQ'ing the doppler effect for vocals and even general mixdown.Besides Leslie cabs,a lot of what you're hearing there is Sir George Martin,tweaking those spinning spkrs to the best of Abbey Road studios,tonal capability.Now,I'm not saying you can't do it,it's just going to take a bit of experimentation.Good luck!

I played the Moog, but while it sounded lush, even the 12 stage setting wasn't quite "distinctive" enough for me to say yeah, it's worth $299 + the money for an expression pedal to get the most out of it with.

 

I would not say it out performed, or out wierded my 3ms (now 4ms) Phaser Fluer in any way shape or form. The 3ms is just as flexible, excels at under watery lush vibe, and funky settings. It makes plenty of sci-fi noises, and I really need to shell out the money for an expression pedal for it to take advantage of it's inherent weirdness.

 

The only Phaser I could see shelling out that much dough for is this one.

 

And for considerably less money I think this pedal might give you the chewy phase/flange type effect I believe you are looking for.

The EX-7 in the leslie mode will get real close to those sounds, and you can ramp up the speed with the expression pedal. It also features an A/DA flanger setting.


$200 new



Also, i've heard some good samples of this:

Line6 Rotomachine


another leslie emmulator


$119

 

BINGO

 

One of these are as close as you are going to get for under the price of a Leslie.
