Deano Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 This is my first post so be gentle! Does anyone know how Jonny gets that endless guitar sound at the beginning of Lovers In Japan? He is strumming quite a lot when you see him doing it but you can't hear the strumming if you know what I mean. An idea of what pedals and settings he uses to achieve the effect?

He has alot of complex rack-effects. Probably some delay/modulation that cuts about all the dry mix, and only sends out the wet mix. That may be why you don't hear the defined strumming.

yellowtalk Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 its a chord, and like you say, its a rack unit definately! I'm sure you could get close through a effects processer, just got to look around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat1229 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 yeah there deffinately some delay modulation there, the sound produced sounds similar to a leslie speaker...which there are multiple ways to emulate. That constant drone could also be produced by a keyboard/synth modulator however in this case I do think its his guitar and (highly priced) rack gear.

fakfak Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I'm certain he has something in his rack (and I'm betting it's the Eventide proccessor) that produces the doppler effect that is dominant throughout this song. There are pedals (most notably the Hughes and Kettner Rotosphere) that produce this effect quite well, but Jonny doesn't have any of them in his live setup.
