whatever the source sound is, it's running thru a square wave lfo that's modulating the amp (volume) 100%; this sounds like a delay, but it's actually a continuous sound being switched from full on to full off, like the pick-up switch trick on les pauls.

there's also an envelope doing a slow rise on the pitch.

i'll be dissecting this further when i'm back in the studio, and i'll be reporting back... i intend to crack the nut on the source(s) --- it may be layered.

i, too, had the vinyl when i was young.
