I always used a flanger for that and got the sound spot on. They're kind of the same aren't they?

Yes and no. They both feature multiple swept filter notches resulting from delaying the processed signal and mixing it with the original. However, in a flanger the delay time is the same for all frequencies, whereas in a phaser the delay time is frequency-dependent, so each frequency is delayed by a different amount.
Hope that helps!
