What effect does opeth use for the violin part in The apostile in triumph?

[Goober]

I know for a fact that it isnt an ebow, because they said they didnt buy an ebow until the still life album. what i do know is that they use a lil delay on it, and that yngwie malmsteen too uses the effect sometimes, but im too lazy to look it up

 

[Botfly]

Ebow or volume swells... probably ebow though.

 

[TehLeperAffinity]

Not Ebow.

 

[Pseud0]

no its volume swells

he said in a thread from like years ago that he learned this technique by watching some obscure yngwie malmsteen video from the 80s

 

[TehLeperAffinity]

I remember him saying it wasn't Ebow, because they didnt find out about it till SL. I think its volume swells with delay.

 

[Pseud0]

i believe a search (without the search function LOL) for the original thread from the days of old is in order

 

[TehLeperAffinity]

no he said that he could never play the swells like malmsteen you fool

they are volume swells.

 

[Moonstruck]

And it can't be an Ebow, seen as an Ebow can only be used for one string at a time, and in this part, 3 strings are played (the way I tabbed it atleast). I think it are volume swells indeed, probably with some kind of delay.

 

[Profanity]

It's probably done on a custom made violin.

And delay. Mike has been over this several times.
