I strongly believe that the phaser used is the Mu-tron
Bi-phase. They've used it before and mine can mimic
this sound exactly. For those who have one, here's my
settings:
Phasor A augmentedA only, Sweep: just below 2, Depth: 7, Feedback: 7.5

Comment: OK, This is probably my crowning moment in tabbing :) This

     should be ok. Lemme know what you think.
