Phaser settings for Andy Summers?

[cragginshred]

Tune were covering is 'When the world is running down. Aprox Phase settings or is it a Flanger?

 

[Greg Ferguson]

I’d look into a chorus, maybe the dimension. It’s not a phaser.

I did some searching… hint hint… look at the Electric Mistress and the Boss CE-1 and CE-2 models.

Summers really caught my ear with his use of chorus.

Googled Summers effects and ended up fining YT videos but nothing on his actual settings

So if it is a chorus how would you set it? sounds pretty wet

 

[mr_fender]

Yeah pretty sure that's the Electric Mistress and a tape echo.

Aprox settings? Slow ?

This is an excellent interview.

Andy didn’t use a phaser. He used an Electric Mistress Flanger set like a chorus and an echoplex.

Got it, no one seems to have a good starting point for settings. By any chance do you?

He did occasionally use a Phase 90.

Try the Electric Mystery model into a mono tape delay in front of a clean amp. I believe he used Marshall Super Lead and Super Bass heads live back in the day. The Brit 45 models work really well for clean Marshall tones. Tele bridge pickup. The default settings for the Electric Mystery model are a decent starting point. Maybe bump up the depth a bit for more warble if needed. Tape delay is roughly a dotted 1/8 tempo, little to no feedback, and about 40 to 50% Mix so the delay slap is pretty loud.

Have you tried the Message on the moon preset? sounds pretty close! with a few tweeks on the delay setting it think it would work pretty good.

 

[mr_fender]

Yeah that's a good preset too.

I should revisit my old Police/Sting presets. Was in a great tribute band years ago using the AX8 but never really moved many over. There's a few from older firmware over at https://forum.fractalaudio.com/thre...ets-to-the-iii-links-and-clips-inside.152648/ you might find some blocks in those sound ok?

Good general reference tone (flanger, echoplex, compressor). Start at 3:41.

This looks like Montserrat, Ghost in the Machine sessions at George Martin’s studio.
