    I believe mike uses a TS-9 Tube Screamer for distortion and Eddie is using an Ebow for the effects on those songs. An ebow is like an electronic pic that allows you to change the sound of the string vibration. I believe the Smashing Pumpkins also used Ebows frequently.

    How does Mike get that sound that you hear in the leads for the 2nd verse of evenflow live. He uses it in parts of the solo too.

    I know he uses a wah sometimes in the solos.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    univibe (I think he uses the Line 6 MM4mod). Use a chorus for it.
