Definitely doesn't sound as tinny for sure, but hit it with distortion and that airplane sound ... bleh. Not a fan. & the sweep doesn't seem to have the depth I'm after.

I'm not trying to shit on your suggestion, I do appreciate everyone's feed back here. I apologize if I come off that way.

Nah im not taking it that way at all. Sometimes it can be hard to find the right sound. I tried a lot of pedals before going full circle on the hartman and now its my only regular modulation. If you want a less tinny/airplane sound with distortion you should try running the modulation before the dirt not after. You play bass right? I've got time this afternoon I can throw a bass demo w/fuzz and the hartman w/depth maxed out to see if it can do the sound you want.

Univibe. You wants it.
I rock an aquavibe for the swirl...a good tzf flanger might get you there too, I've been wanting to check out the jack deville mod zero (it's also got chorus/trem/leslie).

No youtube video can effectively convey a good swirly sound, unless they're recording in stereo and adding plenty of studio magic.
You just have to try some out.

for flanging and chorus i use the TC Electronic SCF. it does restrained flanging AND the wall-of-Slowdive, has a very pretty chorus sound, and also features a Pitch Modulation function which is in esse a vibrato with the ability to mix in a variable level of chorus and gets close to the faux-Leslie and seasick Kevin Shields modes. my only complaint about it is that the range of the sweep speed could be a little broader at the ends of the spectrum.

Honestly, judging by those timestamps, I'd go with a univibe set to a shallow depth, and some reverb.

I got that sound using a whetstone phaser, I bet you could get it with the grand orbiter as well. :idk:

It's not necessarily but if you'd like too that'd be cool. I'm also actively seeking a baritone, so upper register bass stuff would be cool if you do it :)

I'm checking out everyone elses suggestions, thank you all.

& Gunner, that's a good point. Nothings gonna sound exact on a demo, but I'd like to get as close as I can :)

On your whetstone, if you keep the feedback nob dialed back but the depth up, can you still hear the sweep clearly but with less of the high end swooshy-flangy noise?

I had it in the vibrato setting, I'm sure if you set it up in that setting you probably could tweak it to your liking.

Hmmm I really like the long, asymmetrical sweep, & the low pass filter..... damn it.

I feel like chorus/vibe is the closest modulation type pedal for the sound I'm thinking of for that swelling/bloom kind of sound, but I want it to sound dark and with less sparkle than most chorus. Maybe I just need a reverb. Or try a Cosmichorus :idk:
