Anyone know what effects Mike is using when he plays You Are? More specifically, the sound from the Live at the Showbox DVD. Thanks!

    MM4 and DL4. If you look at his DL4, he has a specific delay effect for "You Are".

    Any idea what those settings are, or have a pic of his pedals for the song? The MM-4 must be what he uses to get that wierd distortion sound then?

    Are you sure you're thinking of Mike's distortion for that song? Stone uses the Tech 21 Classic Distortion. That's the weird distortion. The MM-4 is just for Mike's solos in the background. The weird delay is the Classic mixed with a drum machine for the delay. There are pics out there of Mike's board but the DL-4 and MM-4 have the presets in them so a picture probably won't help, however, the picture of Stone's Classic marks the knob settings.

    I'm pretty sure it's Mike's sound I'm thinking of. I know Stone is the one with the rotovibe-ish sound. If you listen to that song on the DVD, you can hear Mike playing along with the bass line. Whatever that sound is, THAT'S what I'm looking for.

    It's the MM-4, I think. Stone plays lead and Mike adds fills so I think I know what you're talking about. Mike just uses the MM-4 mixed with the drive from the Keeley moded tube screamer or blues driver.

    That's probably it then. I wonder which Keeley mod he uses? Mod Plus or Baked?

    Dude, it's Phaser. Just found the recording. Either the Line 6MM4 or the MXR Phase 90. Mike's used both of these.
