Hey Effects Forum gang,
I did some research but i coulnt find any infomation about it. What effect does Phil Lynott use on the track Dancin' in the Moonlight? Is it a kind of Phaser or chorus?
Im interested

Must be a Phaser or chorus of some sort. Phase 90 maybe? I've seen many bassist used one. No real clue though.

Phaser.

Very clearly a phaser Waiting for an Alibi
That's a flanger
I believe the flanger he used was an MXR 126 Flanger/Doubler so I'm guessing the current MXR flanger would get you closest but I don't have experience with either.
As for the phaser I'm not sure. Given that he used the MXR flanger/doubler he certainly could have used the Phase 90 which did exist at the time. Sounds more like the Maestro PS-1 to me, but it's hard to tell. |

I've got pretty close with a Boss PH-3 set to 4 Band mode, so I imagine that any 4 band phaser would get you there.
