Electro-Harmonix Small Clone Chorus 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Chorus....Impact on MusicThe Chorus effect simulates the sound of several instruments or voices by taking an audio signal and mixing it with one or more delayed, pitch-shifted copies of itself.The resulting sound ranges from a "lush" effect similar to a 12 string guitar to a clean "shimmering" effect similar to 2 instruments playing at the same time.No artist is more responsible for the popularity of the chorus effect than Andy Sommers of The Police. Within a few years his trademark chorus rich guitar sound was found on virtually every top 40 hit in the 80's. Chorus pedals soon became as popular as distortion pedals for many guitarists. This is the pedal popularized by Kurt Cobain. Depth and Rate controls create the finest analog chorus sounds, from clear, rich and dimensional to warm pulsating warbles.Famous Use of the Chorus Effect*"Every Breath You Take" by the Police *"Purple Rain" by Prince and the Revolution*"Come As You Are" by NirvanaPopular Chorus Effect Read more:Electro

Digital Delay 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Impact on Music....Delay
Delay is the original time-based audio effect that produces either an echo or doubling effect.Early delay effect units, such as the legendary Watkins Copy Cat, were tape-based units that used multiple tracks to produce "slapback" echoes. In the 70's analog delays produced longer delay effects but often lost high frequency response. It wasn't until the 80's with the advent of digital processing that the delay effect, as a full-frequency time-based effect, came in to its own. It soon spawned other time-based effects such as flanger and chorus.The most influential guitarist to use digital delay effect extensively is The Edge of U2.Famous Use of the Delay Effect*"Where the Streets Have No Name" by U2, The Edge*"Talk" by Coldplay*"Black" by Pearl JamNotable Delay Effect Pedals*Boss DD3 Digital

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 Octave Effect in Purple Haze 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Impact on MusicThe octave effect takes an audio signal and creates a new mixed signal that is either an octave higher or lower from the original. The result is a doubling effect which simulates the playing of two notes at the same time.Legendary audio engineer Roger Mayer is credited for developing the first octave effect named the Octavia in the late 60's. He worked closely with Jimi Hendrix
who popularized the effect by combining it with his wah-wah and fuzz effects, creating one of the most unique effects in rock history.The octave effect is also popular with bass guitarists who use it to fill out or fatten up their bass sound.Famous Use of the Octave Effect"Bulls on Parade" by Rage Against the Machine"Purple

Kurt Cobain Nirvana 1970-01-01 00:59:59 From his first distortion effect-filled opening guitar riff, Kurt Cobain
literally turned the music world upside down. He brought 70's punk sensibility into the mainstream and heralded a new sound for a whole generation. Not necessarily the most talented guitarist of his era, Cobain's use of effects made him far more unique and interesting. Most notably was his interplay between his heavily distorted Boss effect pedals and his delicate use of the Small Clone chorus effect. Quickly becoming a classic, the Boss DS-1 effect pedal provides all the heavy distortion while preserving subtle sonic dynamics, going from screaming loud to whisper quiet.Kurt Cobain

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

Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) 1970-01-01 00:59:59 As one of the architects of the grunge scene, Mike McCready helped shift the music industry's soundscape from the heavy distortion guitar sounds of 80's hair band's to his more aggressive bluesy sound. His main stay effect in his Clapton/Hendrix influenced approach is his simplistic yet effective use of the overdrive effect.

Flanger 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Impact on MusicFlanging is a time based effect that occurs when two identical audio signals are mixed together, but one signal time amount is altered which then produces a jet-like "wooshing" or drainpipe "swooping" of the sounds harmonic structure.Flanging was first considered an undesirable side effect that often occurred when recording very long tracks. Early flangers were produced by playing back the same sound on multiple tape decks and John Lennon first used the term 'flanging' to describe this technique.In the 70's, advances in solid state electronics made the flanging effect possible without the need for bulky hardware.Famous Use of the Flanger Effect"Are You Gonna Go My Way" by Lenny Kravitz"Paranoid" by Black Sabbath"Love" by The Smashing PumpkinsNotable Flanger Effect PedalsBoss BF3 Flanger EffectIbanez FL9 Flanger EffectMXR M117R Flanger Effect

With regards to his use of effects he has said, " I've found so many guitar parts using the echo effect . . . unlike other guitarists I don't use effects to color my guitar parts. I create my parts using effects. They're a crucial element of what I do so I don't use them in a crunch… they're part of the art".

....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

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".

Octave Effect, for the technically minded individual 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Octave Effect Octave effect boxes are a type of special effects unit which mix the input signal with a synthesised signal whose musical tone is an octave lower or higher than the original. The synthesised octave signal is derived from the original input signal by halving (octave-down) or doubling (octave-up) the frequency. This is possible due to the simple two-to-one relationship between the frequencies of musical notes which are separated by an octave. One of the first popular musicians to employ the octave effect was Jimi Hendrix, who also used a variety of other effects in his recordings and public performances. Octave Effect Octave EffectOctave-up effects usually use full wave rectification using diodes to "fold up" the negative part of the waveform to make a new waveform an octave higher in pitch.Octave-down effects are typically produced by converting the signal to a square wave, and then using flip-flop circuits to divide the frequency by two. This creates a buzzy synthesizer l

Music Business Attorneys 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Music BusinessAttorneys
By Kenny KernerA good, honest, knowledgeable music attorney is an invaluable asset to an artist, and an important part of his Pro Team. Music lawyers serve many functions, the least of which is shopping tapes to the record companies. And because nowadays the top attorneys in the business (you know, the ones who charge $450 per hour), will work for a fee of 5% of the artist's gross income--why, anyone can afford them! Hold on a minute--I'm not being sarcastic.Start Shopping NowJust recently, this band that I know, decided it wanted to release its own indie record and sell it at shows and on consignment in local record stores. To do this, and get the necessary UPC (Bar) Codes, seller's permit and resale number, the band needed partnership papers and hours of time to fill out applications for the State Board of Equalization, the Uniform Code Council and other government-related offices. This would have cost them thousands of dollars in attorney fees. At the sam Read more:Music

How To Pick A Personal Manager 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In the classic concert film The Song Remains the Same, there's a famous scene where Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant, a 270-pound former wrestler from East London, is backstage screaming at one of the promoters at Madison Square Garden. Needless to say, the promoter is backed in a corner and shaking in his boots! Many artists may think that an intimidating personal manager is exactly what they need. But Jeffrey Jampol, current manager of The Doors says, "The days of the Peter Grants in this business are over." People in the music industry prefer to do business with nice guys. A manager must be able to nurture and maintain numerous relationships, while at the same time standing firm, being sensible, and demonstrating a strong knowledge of the business. (It's a fine balance between ticking people off and not being a push-over.) If a manager walks into the record label and starts pounding desks, insisting that things get done his way, HE'S BOUND TO GET ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE!So what are Read more:Personal
