Name a song & artist with noticeable, prominent guitar effects. Name the effect if you can.

An obvious starter:

Do You Feel Like I Do; Peter Frampton; Talk Box

OK... Blockbuster — The Sweet: Hurricane Surf Siren Volume Wah!

Born To Be Wild — Slade: erm... Hurricane Surf Siren Volume Wah.

All right, I'll level with you... I bought a Hurricane Surf Siren Volume Wah. There's got to be someone else who has used it...heh.

Sultans of Swing; Dire Straits. Knopfler famously used the simple little Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer compressor on that and other early Straits tracks. I hear lots of other processing on those numbers too.

Oh, and if I remember right Andy Summers used the Electric Mistress flanger on about half of the Police's output...

I think... it's going to be tough to integrate this pedal. It does five things not particularly well, but at least three of those are quite unique. It has a reputation as a tone-free zone, but I don't really think of my "tone" as a precious commodity that must be preserved at all costs... it's whatever emerges at the other end of the devices I play through, I guess.

"Hurricane" is white noise flavoured with some sort of whistling modulation controlled by the foot pedal; "Surf" is pure static and not very pleasant to listen to (also controlled by the pedal). Volume and Wah are self-explanatory, but the Wah is back-to-front for some reason... a bit counter-intuitive. It's not the most sensitive wah in the world, but it works pretty well for a 40-year-old pedal.

"Siren"... the piéce de resistance... has its own little button and separate volume control. Stomp on it and it starts to escalate, stomp again and it subsides. It's independent of whatever else you might be doing with the pedal at the time, so you can play something atmospheric with a gentle wash of white noise behind it and then whack an air-raid siren on top if you so desire. It actually sounds great with some echo on it; it just needs some control over the pitch. I'm trying to think of something else I could run after this pedal to take advantage of its unusual noise-generating capabilities.

When I found it I immediately thought Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here/ radiohead You and Whose Army/ Four Minute Warning -type thoughts. I don't know if that sort of atmosphere is within my reach with this thing, but I'm going to give it a shot...

Oh, and back on track... speaking of radiohead...

Any slow- to medium-tempo song off OK Computer
— DOD 440 Envelope Filter

(should I admit that I just found one of these as well? :oops: )
