Yes, Heaven.

The trippy middle 8 of Rock's Off.

Apparently a flanger, see previous page.

And it’s “Rocks Off”.

The effect on Rocks Off is most likely done with varying the tape speed of the recorder by holding the capstan. The result is an effect that has both flanging and phasing. Most famous application of this effect is While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Hilarious really that we should invent FX pedals to mimic the effect of somebody sticking their thumb on top of a tape deck capstan roller...or the sound of an echoplex with serious speed stability issues.

...and god knows what Leo Fender must have sai when first told that folks actually wanted his amps to distort

Sounds like there is a fair bit of phaser on this one:

Sounds like Chorus, doesn't it? Pretty spaced-out sound on a country track

Phasers were all the rage in the mid/late 70's but seemed to fade shortly thereafter. Zeppelin used them quite extensively as well on their later albums.

Yep ..I remember buying a phase pedal around 1978 . They were the big thing for a while...then more extreme sounding flangers and the like came to prominence.


I could never take to those...I probably lacked the vision and imagination.

Very useful those Star Trek phasers.

I was going to ask the same thing

What areKeith and Taylor playing on Can You Hear the Music and Tine Waits for No One?

Keith played a wah through a Leslie on CYHTM. He played a Hi-Fli on TWFNO.

Keith throughout his career has been amazingly diverse and inventive in his playing.His early playing on songs is so different from the slide period of the late 60s, and then all the other eras like his Leslie period

Taylor played through an overdriven Leslie on Dancing with Mr D. You can really hear it in the Glyn Johns mix

Phasers were really popular in country music for a while.

Fingerprint File doesn’t sound like a Leslie or an MXR phaser to me. I’d bet it’s the Hi Fli through a cranked amp.

Pretty sure it's the Roland SDD-320 Dimension D, all the rage in the late 1970's and early 1980's. They used it on Heaven, and on half of Tattoo You. Stevie Ray Vaugn used it a lot to thicken up his tone (as if he needed to thicken it more..).

I am not sure...all the sounds I have heard from the Hi Fli -I never played one- are more phase shifting than phasing, it's more space ship than thick leslie wobble.

I think Time Waits is the Hi Fli all over, I think the treble boost sounds and the dimension sounds on IORR album (like the solo's on If You Can't Rock Me and Ain't Too Proud) are all Hi Fli.

Fingerprint File is so thick, I would be surpised it is a pedal of any form. But of course studio trickery can do a lot.

Mathijs

Didn't Keith at times use both a Phaser and a Wah? At same time?
Did another guitarist ever do that? Back then in 70's , before F/X chains?

Jagger's f/x guitar is massive. You can hear how fat it is when it drops out for the first quiet section. and then comes blasting back in.

btw I always knew that it was Jagger on guitar. I saw earlier posts...

"The moon is up" is a great song especially the guitar effects. It sounds like phasing / flanger or maybe something else. The harmonica goes also through some "rainy" effect as goes Ronnie's pedal steel. On that song the Stones went all the way with sounds effects.

Was 'Hot stuff' mentioned in this thread yet?

Get Close has phaser too

Yes, I just listened through better speakers and I think it's a cranked Leslie with some humbuckers going through it.

Listening on my phone makes everything more compressed so I was thinking it sounded like a guitar amp.

Oh I'm sure.

Hendrix used a wah and Uni-Vibe, which is a sort of pseudo-phaser.

Like on 2000 Light Years From Home.

I only noticed it just now: Keith is sitting in front of a Leslie cabinet, with the breaker pedal on top.

Was listening to Foxes in the Boxes last night. Is Keith's using a Phaser on No Use in Crying?
