In serious need of assistance, I have experimented numerous times to create the classic sounding psy squelch/fart its in pretty much every psy tune but I'm not just not happy with what I'm hearing.
So far I use two saw osc, slightly detuned, BP filter, then LFO to modulate OSC pitch (by 2 octaves?) and filter cut off.
Treatmetn with reverb, eq, distortion, saturation, phaser, but still I dont hit the target sound.
Can anyone share there specific techniques?
An example is in this video at 0.14
I guess he makes a short stab exports then adds effects to the audio but if anyone has the secret please share.

I get close with Vanguard just 1 osc Saw, low octave, then band pass or high pass filter, 70% resonance some drive (overdrive distortion) and modulate only filter freq just by hand or use automation clip. In the end add some delay.

Psilocybian you make it look so easy! so two lfo, lfo 1 modulating filter cutoff, second modulating lfo 1 rate, match both.

WHAT? You guys think we make psyfart because its an original sound? LOL you think we use 303 because its a trendy sound? or the FM lead because no one has used it before? c'mon
We like this sounds because one reason only:
THEY SOUND REALLY FUCKING GOOD ON DRUGS.
Also is just one of the many psy ingredients out there one needs to master to become a psy chef.
So yes, basically 2 things: pitch modulation and filter modulation (i preffer BP and HP).
Psy squelches are awesome, and you make a lot of different ones.
Squelching up/down, hp/bp, long sweeps, short zaps and whatever.
If you're creative enough I think you could even make an interesting psytrance track with just Psy squelches
One of many great tracks by Ianuaria features a bunch of nice squelches going all over the place:
