: I can't find this question anywhere on the forums so far, so mainly I was wondering if anyone knows what amps,effects or guitars he uses to get the strange "clean" sound in Pigs(Three different Ones)? Does anyone know how to emulate it without going overboard and buying the exact gear? He repeats the chords in a strange way, almost like it's an echo but I'm almost positive it isn't. The sound I'm talking about mainly is the main rythem guitar at the beginning all througout the main verses. Can anyone help me at all? The sound itself to me is most perplexing.
Well first of do some strong clean acid ;)
Second, tho to be honest, I don't have a clue what he was doing as far as guitar sound, I believe it to sound like he's wearing fingerpicks (Jorma Kaukonen style..) and plucking the chords, which might give way to the 'echoing' sound you're referring to, which I'd never thought of.. nice..
Wish I knew more about it.. or he's playing with his fingers without fingerpicks, with some serious limiting and maybe gating going on
I'd like to hear what you think
