He used a lot things throughout that song. He was using a Strat or course and usually either a Hiwatt amp or Fender Twin Reverb. I'm not sure exactly which part you're talking about, but:
The main riff over the verses is just a fuzz face with mild fuzz using the bridge pickup on the stratocaster.
The little fills are a clean signal with delay in which he uses the volume knob to swell into them.
Later on he uses a clean signal with a leslie speaker.
Solo's he uses a talkbox a fuzz and delay depending on the part.
But that's the basic run down of Pigs...
: 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.
