I'm wondering how I can get the crunchy reverb & phaser sound heard here:
or here:
but also on many other Lee Scratch Perry productions.
To me it sounds like reverb and phaser - but I'm not sure.
Thanks for any insights into what effects pedals / models, that are available today, would help to reproduce this sound.

Lee Perry was known to use a Mutron biphase at the time, as can be seen in this video:
A new version "mutron bi-pase ii" is available since recently. However I don 't know how close it is to the original:

In the reverb/delay department Perry used a Roland RE-201 Space-Echo. It was re-created in hardware and software several times over the years.

Beware though.. It‘s easy to go down the rabbit hole of gear hoarding. Perry‘s creativity and open-mindedness had a higher impact on his sound than the exact phaser and reverb models he had at his disposal. He was very skillful at getting the best out of a rudimentary setup.
