Jon Buckland Coldplay
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Coldplay's anthemic sound is due to the prominence of John Buckland's guitar work. His use of effects adds depth to their sound and much can be credited to his use of sweeping tremolo and delay effects. On the topic of his use of tremolo and delay effects Jon states, "it gives you space and distance and makes you fell like you are playing more notes than you actually are".Jon Buckland's Use of EffectsDelay driven guitar effect in "Talk".Sweeping tremolo effect filled riff in "In My Place".Subtle use of disortion effect in "Yellow".

Jimi Hendrix
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Jimi Hendrix is arguably the most influential guitarist in history and his use of effects became an integral part of his sound. Jimi transformed the way guitars and effects were used by experimenting with fuzz and octave shifting effects. However, his mastery of the newly invented wah-wah effect pedal soon became the effect he is most noted for.The Vox 847 re-issue wah-wah effect pedal, with its legendary growl, is built to the exact specifications as the original made famous by Jimi Hendrix .Jimi Hendrix's use of EffectsThe use of octavegeneration on "Hey Joe".Intro wah-wah riff in"Voodoo Child".Wah-Wah effect in "AllAlong the Watchtower".Jimi Hendrix's Effects ListDallas ArbiterFuzz FaceRoger Mayer OctaviaFuzz/OctaveUniVox UniVibeVox 847 Wah-WahEffect Pedal

The Fender "Splato" Stratocaster Guitar
1970-01-01 00:59:59
I know I'm going a bit off topic here with this one, but I truly do love Fender ....What do the rest of you think of this one: The Fender "Splato" Statocastor Guitar . This is the write up on it from Fender's website:This is the Fender "Splato" Stratocaster guitar. Pardon the slightly inelegant name, but you simply have to see this unbelievable instrument to believe it. Wrought in aluminum and colored fluid, it's a work of art. And even that might be an understatement.The guitar was designed by—and will soon belong to—Jimmy Stout of Palmdale, Calif., who entered Guitar World magazine's 2004 "Design Your Dream Guitar" contest. He submitted an idea he had several months earlier for a radically customized Stratocaster guitar design. He won, which meant that his guitar would actually be built in Fender's famous Corona, Calif., Custom Shop.Revered 20-year Custom Shop veteran Scott Buehl, often referred to without hyperbole as a Fender "Uber Builder," accepted the daunt

Jack White (The White Stripes)
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Jack White and his traditional blues styling have already ranked him as one of the best guitarists of all time. In keeping in his minimalist tradition, Jack uses only 3 effects to achieve his unique throwback sound. Most notably is his use of the Digitech whammy pedal to produce rapid modulations in pitch for his solos along with the manipulation of the octaves which makes his guitar sound like a bass, as heard in his famous riff for "Seven Nation Army".The classic Electro-Harmonix Big Muff distortion effect pedal, with its legendary sweet sustain and rich tone has been defining the rock guitar sound for over 30 years.Jack White's Effects ListDigitech whammy effect pedalBoss CS-3 Compressor-SustainerElectro-Harmonix Big Muff Distortion SustainerJack White's Use of EffectsBig fuzzy riff in "Hypnotize".The "fake" bass tone in "Seven Nation Army".Garage band guitar sound in "Fell in Love with a Girl".


Eddie Van Halen
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Eddie Van Halen is undoubtedly one of the most original and talented rock guitarists in history. His fleet-fingered prowess on the fretboard however, often overshadows his creative and innovative use of effects. His use of artificial harmonics, phasing and flanging resulted in his signature "Brown Sound", known for its warm, smooth and dense tone.Eddie Van Halen Use of Effect's* Use of flanger effect in intro to "And The Cradle Will Rock".* Guitar solo piece on "Eruption".* Phasing technique in "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love".

The neck has been shaved to be like the '58s neck. The bridge was rounded, so he can play any string with the bow (and not only the E's). Two spring-loaded switches have been added under the plate (one for in and out phase control and one to put the pickups in series/parallel). The knobs have been replaced by push-pulls for coil tapping, or to
