That Cocteau Twins (Robin Guthrie) chorus/flanger sound?

[dallasisacowboy]

I'm looking to cop that Robin Guthrie sound as it is one of my favorite modulation sounds ever. And I could use some more modulation on my board. So if you fine folks could recommend me a few pedals, I would appreciate it kindly.

Thanks for your time!

Copping that Robin Guthrie sound could take you years.

There's actually quite a bit of info around about his gear.

A good place to start looking is his own website:

TL;DR : Just get lots of flangers and delays.

Lots of different studio rack choruses and delays (the TC 2290 and Roland Dimension-D), an Electro-Harmonix Clone Theory at one point. Also he pitch-shifted overdubs to give it more of a stereo spread.

Live I remember reading an old GP mag that I can't find anymore that gave his pedalboard as being 99% Boss pedals.

The Garlands era chorus sounds can be pretty accurately recreated with a VFE Choral Reef.

My guitarist uses a Hartman analog flanger for Guthrie sounds. It works super well.

I just put Blue Bell Knoll on a few minutes ago after checking this thread out, and I can't get the smile off my face. I would imagine that a lot of rack/studio gear he started using post garlands could be roughly approximated with some of the eventide pedals that are around now.
