Hey, does anyone know how to replicate the sound that is made during the live versions of Nothing as it seems, and Army Reserve. During Nothing as it Seems, I think it is Mike who uses a phaser and somthing else before the third chorus. I cant really explain where it is except that it is after the "Savin' up a sunny, maybe somthin' two tone" part. I think it's a rotary effect or somthing. It's also found somtimes during the end solo in Army Reserve live (i.e. Boston 5-25-06). I dont know how to replicate it or if anyone knows what the hell I am talking about, but I'd appreciate it if someone could help me get the sound. I have the Digitech hyper phase-X series, two chours pedals, a wah, and the tube screamer. I think those are what I need to do it but I dont know the settings. Also, during the studio version of Nothing as it Seems, there is one note played right before the first solo following the first chorus. I like the sound of that too. I know the Fender Blender is used but I only have a DS-1 and OC-2 for that sound. Any way I can replicate it? The pedal settings would be great if someone could help. Thank you!

    After 2000, Mike hasn't used the Fender Blender live at all, so he is probably just adding a lot of gain without the sustain when they play NAIS live.

    They retail for like $150 US, I'm looking to get rid of it for $100, shipping included.

    Isn't he also using a UniVibe effect in NAIS? Towards the end, he gives a haunting shriek w/ his guitar. I'm pretty sure it's a Univibe w/ some sort of distortion/octavia (or Fender Blender perhaps). Then again, I have a hard time diciphering effects.
    Rock on!

    Fender Blender is an octave fuzz.




    It's true that Mike hasn't used it live for a long time and I'm disapointed every time they play it (all 4 times :rolleyes: ) and the Flender is absent..



    As for the dude wanting Monster's flender...

    The Fender Blender is a nasty, nasty pedal. Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) uses the hell out of his live if that's any indication of how nasty.

    It can be used in a subtle way, but it works best when it's tearing your head off.

    I own one and I love it to death!
    Come on pilgrim you know he loves you..
