anyone have ideas on how to recreate the oscillating wobbly feedback from Radio Friendly Unit Shifter? I wonder how they're doing it live below? Also weird that it starts right before they walk out. Is some roadie hiding in the shadows triggering a loop? It does sound similar but slightly different from the album version so it seems live.
It's probably a recording.
IIRC, the sound is from the use of a Sansamp classic, Small Clone and Polychorus set to insane warble all at the same time.
The warble is from Kurt's Polychorus with the depth turned all the way up. Not sure exactly what distortion he used for it, but probably some combo of his standard DS-2 and maybe a sansamp as was already stated, although I also remember reading that he started using the DOD Grunge sometime in 1993 too.

There are settings on the web where you see Kurt's settings. And also settings found from fans to use with more recent Polychorus. I had one and could be pretty close to this sound.
Fuzzonaut about the RM-1N:
"Amp in a box"?
No, there's no amp in there - tone fairies and feedback goblins live inside this box.
