Jimmyp28 Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Ok am getting in to effects in a big way and am starting to build a pedal board. But my question, if you listen to this [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mpBYtUJoxE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mpBYtUJoxE[/url] at 2.33 is. Justin does some crazy effect. How do you create these sounds? its some thing i have never looked into really. Any idea? Quote
Musky Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) Sounds like a delay with the feedback turned right up, maybe with some kind of looper in there. Edit: There's a recent thread with a diagram of his board [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=151235"]here[/url]. DD-3 - with a hold function. Mind you, there's also a Bass Whammy on there, which also does squeely type noises, so maybe he's triggering both. Definately delay in there though, because there's a weird pulsing going on as well.

But it seems to tie in with when he steps the pedal on and off. Actually I'd assumed the bongo like beats that occur at the same time were his doing as well. Though now I'm thinking they might actually be bongos. Edit: Yeah they're drums. It helps if you don't just leap in at 2:33. Edited August 30, 2011 by Musky Quote
pantherairsoft Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 He taps his foot at the right time, by that coincidence. JC does lots of cool stuff with envelopes and wahs, but that's either mic feedback or Adam prepping his feedback for the squeaky solo that follows just after that section Quote

Mic feed back sounds sound but a risky move live dont you think? I do remember reading in an article once that he turns on effects to see the ambient noise. Quote
blind pilot Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 A similar noise again at around 2:45, it really does sound like feedback though, an I cant think of anything on his board that would do that? sounds good though! When we play it, its always guitar feedback. I did read somewhere he has another smaller board,normally over by his stacks! I cannot remember what effects are on there, used for lost keys, I might be wrong but i think there was another delay on there........maybe its this delay cranked? Quote
blind pilot Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 [attachment=88633:justinth...ingpicks.jpg] you can just see the 2nd board, GEB-7,Tremolo and another GT-2 are whats on there, could he be using this, as the camera angle he is side on? Quote

electric nate Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 sounds like someone in the crowd whistling to me? Is it there on the album version? I have no idea, i've never gotten into tool in any great depth. Quote
