Can you please post something about the gear of Thom and Nigel in this shows?...
I did a full rundown in this post.
View ArticleWhat did Radiohead use to get the sound at the beginning of 15 Step?
Jonny’s Analogue Systems modular, and perhaps some Max manipulating for the reverse sounds(though that could just be clever adsr manipulating).

Submitted by JamesI’m not 100% on this but I think the squirkrkriyyy sounds behind the opening beats on 15 Step are manipulated tape sounds. As in the actual sound of tape running back and forth and...
View ArticleCould you reccomend any good pedals for harmonising?
I you’re looking for anything besides octaves, the only real options are the Digitech Whammy V(the newest version with the classic mode) and the Boss PS6. I would get the Whammy(for just octaves or for...
View ArticleDoes the Whammy allow the use of octaves with both a clean and a dry signal?
I am not sure that I understand what you are asking. But the Whammy offers the ability to either shift your guitar’s signal, or to have the shifted signal sound in addition to your original dry...
View Article(seems you can't reply to questions) Wouldn't an EHX HOG work for that guy?
It offers way more than he needs for far more money and with a far larger footprint than is at all necessary. The Whammy is big, but the HOG is HUGE. Also, the Hog/Pog2 are good for extra filtering and...
View ArticleHow do you think the Whammy V sounds compared to the original?
They sound different, but I like the sound of both. The V offers the chord mode(i.e. actually good tracking on more than one note when you want it) and also True Bypass and a regular power supply. I...

My Iron Lung is an octave up. My Iron Lung does get it’s “warble” from the original Whammy’s bad tracking. The Whammy IV and Whammy V both ALSO have this bad tracking; it’s the timbre of the sound...

Thank you! Your questions should be answered here.And if you really want I could give you specific advice on how to do it yourself based on a specific budget etc.

It isn’t documented besides this single case, so not common.Maybe there was a technical issue with his Fireglo during the from the Basement sessions, and so he strung the Jetglo to six strings. Or...

Often delay trails get softer and sometimes lowpassed as they fade. Perhaps this is what you mean? It would help if you explained what you mean by EQ shift, as that can mean a lot of things. Which...

It’s a sample of a real bass or of a realish sounding synth-bass, but it probably isn’t from Kontakt’s library(the majority of the samples that they use are created by them of their own instruments,...

Submitted by samuelconantIn response to the question about Ed’s “EQ”ing of his delay signal, he was on to something. There are plenty of videos showing Ed manipulating his wah pedal before it hits his...

The radio itself is fitted with a 1/4” jack, so I don’t think that it does go through a direct box. If it does, however, it would likely be a passive Radial Engineering one, since that’s what they seem...

You’re actually the first to ask! I think that it’s Jonny’s Korg Prophecy, with liberal use of log controller for pitch plus distortion.From its glissando, it seems likely that it could be his Korg...
