I think there's a robot in "Return of the Jedi" whose voice is done using 
the same effect. In the scene where C3P0 and R2D2 are being introduced to 
Jabba the Hutt's chief robot. He says something like "Well, you're a fiesty 
little one, but you'll soon learn respect".
I'm PRETTY sure that's what they did to his voice.
