Ok, I've been playing guitar for years and never used guitar effects. In fact, I can't tell what guitar effects are used to achieve the sounds in PJ songs. Can anyone give good examples of guitar effects and their related PJ song? Delay, fuzz, etc....

    I guess just name the song and we can give you a rundown on the effects.

    I can give you some answers about some distinctive parts, but I know there's people here who can be a lot more precise. But here is what I came up with on the spot:

    I don't remember exactly what that effect for the verse in Given to Fly was. Phaser? Some kind of rotary effect or box?
    For the leads on Red Mosquito you will need a slide.
    The rythm part of You Are is done by playing a guitar through a drum computer.
    The solo in Fucking Up (L2L?) is pretty much just drenched in delay.

    The leads are mainly overdrives in these cases, I think. Probably Tube Screamer, modded BD-2 or something similar.
