This all might not be quite the right gear, but should give us something that sounds like a classic BBC sound. A lot of the effects were done through older equipment after all since the Radio Workshop ended up with all the ex-BBC Studio gear.

At least this would be my starting point...

Or you could just buy VocalSynth!! Haha!!
Thanks for the info. I do have the REDD and TG12345 channels strips from Waves; don't have the J37 though. The ring mod I have is the Moog one from Avid. I haven't tried this combo together and will have to give it a shot. Right now I can't afford to buy something that might not do what I want. I know Izotope has a generous demo policy but then what do I do if I find out it does the job I want?
