I usually look at Freakbeat as happening between late 1965 to early 1967.
It is the end of the Beat era right before full blown Pysch.

It is beginning of feedback and fuzzboxes and studio trickery.


Phasing and compression too: I guess it's a cross between the mod/r'n'b sound and Joe Meek-type studio experimentation. Too tough for psychedelia, too flash for r'n'b. 1966-7. The Wimple Winch. :-)
