Steven Wilson's Guitar Effect.

[An Absent Friend]

Hi guys , I just realized that I want to use SW's guitar effect he generally uses in more phycedelic ( Dont know the spell )

For ex. in ambulance chasing..

Alos he uses smt like that in Lamentations Doc. He improvises a solo over Masters App.'s mellow part.

I would be glad if I can learn its name. And if I need a pedal or smt like that.

Phaser?

Mountain of 'verb and Phaser = Epic Guitar solo.

Is it something known , that solo that SW plays to Masters App.?

 

[Ermz]

No. It's quite obviously improvised.

 

[An Absent Friend]

Ok what effect he uses on that solo do you know?

 

[Id]

If you're on about the little improv he did on the Lamentations documentary, they really should have recorded it and kept it in. I hear it in my head now whenever I listen to the track, its awesome.

Phaser?

.

 

[An Absent Friend]

Not the one he does on acoustic guitar the one he improvises with Prs electic guitar.

And yeah they should have kept it , its awesome.

Thnx Moonlapse if its Phaser.

If you want, I can post a guitar recording using phaser and you can make up your mind whether it is what you're after or not.

 

[An Absent Friend]

Yeah please. And are there any programs can make my guitar sound like that?

I set it to be a bit exaggerated so you can hear what exactly it is that the phaser does to the sound. Steve has it set very lightly on the clip and of course is playing through much better gear than I was here.

And I wonder if I need to buy something. Cause I really like it.

Thanks.

There are phaser guitar pedals out there. Have a look around the internet. For a starting point, I think Boss make one.

Thanks again.
