Via reddit...

I googled it for you, and I found an old guitar magazine article that says this:

'Its eerie intro consists of Denis’ guitar processed into cut-up staccato blips by a Yamaha SPX90 with its noise gate engaged. β€œI just went crazy scratching the chords very fast,” he explains. β€œI was trying to simulate what the keyboard did on Pink Floyd’s album.”'

Whatever happens if you spend time on reddit - don't let it get you down. Always post your questions in more than one sub to avoid the likely insta-downvoters. Sometimes reddit can be great - like the redditor who gave me that great answer. But other times - it's crabs in a bucket over there. A site like this is usually far better because it's a community and people can't get away with being petty, stupid, obnoxious or some horrible combination of those things. I've had a lot of luck starting threads at a nearly dead b-movie forum because a surprising number of the few people still there play guitar. Community again.

Also - when somebody says something is impossible or nearly impossible - sometimes (if not often) what they really mean is that's true for them.

Oh dont worry im really not in.

Was an lurker if I got in with, it would have been with asearch sometimes but since the drama, I avoid it as much as possible for the boycott principle. But ez for me BC I wasn't really in.

Lemmy is my first , I've never used mastodon or others because I hate the twitter mechanic.
But I'm following Foss news and combined with the reddit drama I decided to got in Lemmy.

With Lemmy I have enough drama and others to see now, so if I do an search, I stay on it. If I go wandering it wouldn't be on reddit but on video games or guitar now ^^.

And with this topic you really do the mess job for me in a kind, if I can say, By being here, and with your post, I know I can be here and have the good stuff of the internet, by interests. From where after not my concerns and if an drama to follow, I will of on Lemmy ah ah.

But ty for your kindness πŸ₯°

Could be a crazy sort of delay effect with a lot of the settings cranked, or a sampler?

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

happyandhappy thinks it's tremolo pedal. I've never used one so I'm about to google.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tremolo would have a volume drop I think?

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

I watched 4 tremolo pedal demos. They weren't like the song and they weren't very good. My hunch right now is the guitarist used a tremolo pedal with a knob or two at a very low or very high setting to get a kill switch-like vibe.

Everything is so directed towards products and marketing. Youtube and google serve me up vids for products. I don't want that. Give me an uploader who has experimented a lot with that pedal and they are screwing around. That's what I want. They don't even have to play well. I want sonic explorations not "This pedal does a great job of capturing the classic 1950s Fendβ€”" Shut up!

You were right. I edited the self text.

Try looking up the the Dwarfcraft Grazer

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

I watched a demo vid. That's a funky box. In fact - I think Bill Frisell uses that in the last ~4m of this - Bill Frisell ~ La La Means I Love You. It's such a fantastic cover.

Thanks.

I also posted at reddit. Twice to avoid frustration. One of my posts was removed by a bot for "link dropping". Huge reddit subs are the worst. Bots tell you to read the rules. But the rule I broke isn't even mentioned so how can I be certain the bot won't remove my post again or an annoying mod won't remove it because I didn't obey the fucking spirit of the rules?

Anyway - the largest reddit guitar subs are a trip. Nobody seems to actually play there. They are only there to dream.

i love music forums but most people are absolute dorks about it online. my dream would be to have a communist music forum with the depth and engagement you can find in niche music forums, but not cringe. definitely like post here if you have more topics of discussion lol

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you're curious - somebody at reddit gave me a great answer and I put it in the self text.

post here if you have more topics of discussion lol

I certainly will. I'll have questions again.

that makes sense i was gonna say that really theres a lot of ways to cut it up like that but if you were gonna play it through a guitar a harsh (square) tremolo would be how to do it

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

harsh (square) tremolo

Ah - another piece of the puzzle I didn't know.
