Will try this when I get home later this evening snd report back!Here's a quick and dirty starting point.
Start with the Classic Vibe model in the Phase block.
Reduce the Mix to 50% for a bit less pitch warble
One the More page of the Phaser block, try these to even out the sweep:
Type: Photocell
Bias: 0.25
Exponent: 1.0
Attack: 10ms
Release 10ms
From there, assign a pedal to the rate parameter with Min around 1 Hz and Max around 6 Hz or so.
To my ears it tends to sound the best with the depth turned down a bit at higher settings, so one way to do that is to assign the same pedal to the depth parameter as well. Set Min to around 5 and Max to 10 and then Swap the Start and End values to 100% and 0% respectively. That will make the depth go down as the rate goes up and you end up with a bit more even sounding rate range.
Sounds decently close into a cranked JCM800 style amp.
This works fantastically well. Thank you!Here's a quick and dirty starting point.

sorry for the long delay, yes your settings sound cool! thanks!Here's a quick and dirty starting point.

This is great fun. Many thanks. I'm going to use it for an AC128 FF demo today. Cheers.Here's a quick and dirty starting point...
I've always prefered to place less-subtle modulation effects before fuzz or distortion due to the huge swath of overtones in a distorted signal. All those overtones will quickly turn a nice burble into the jet engine effect. (Not that there is anything wrong with that if that's what you are going for.)Would this effect ultimately be best in front of the amp? I’ve heard mixed things about phaser placement…
Well this makes sense. I guess I want to know where in the chain this will have its most clarity when engaged.

IME - I almost always place phasers and univibes first in the chain. Wah, compression and envelope followers might bump them depending on noise floor, input impedance, and other factors. Your ears will generally tell you what's right for your tone.Well this makes sense. I guess I want to know where in the chain this will have its most clarity when engaged.

@mr_fender I did give your Roto settings a run today, in front of the SLP1959 and preceded by a real world AC128 Fuzz Face (to the Axe's front input, Input Impedance switched to 90K).
Your settings are great fun and I thank you again. Here's the vid if you're interested.
You can use custom names on FC and FM switch labels. But not on the blocks in the grid.Side note is there a way to custom name the blocks in a preset. Like I could name Phase 1 swoosh and Phase 2 Roto?
