Effects on recordings


Recommended Posts

I'm not so much looking for stuff where an effect was used here or there, but where the effect is on prominent display in the song; nearly a "hook" in its own right.

 

For example:

Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson and Clover (for the extensive use of tremolo... bonus points for the fuzzed out solo, wah wah, etc.)

 

 

 

The Small Faces - Itchycoo Park (semi-early recorded example of flanging - comes in at about 0:50)

 

 

Sweet - Love Is Like Oxygen (auto panning at 3:21)

 

Okay, admittedly, the last two don't feature the effects as prominently as they are on the first example, but that's where you guys come in. :) What are some of your favorite songs that have used effects in a significant / dramatic way?

Ah, the song that got me into effects! 

 

I guess I'll have to go with an obvious, but classic. The reverse reverb of Loveless.

I just ran across something while listening to my iTunes library on shuffle. It's my attempt at a pseudo-dub remix of a track I recorded with a band called the Sedans. It's called "Prince Philla-Dilla's* Liplock Dub", and it's got quite a bit of effects on it... 

 

 

(*Philla-Dilla is a nickname Bruce Swedien gave me. He never calls me "Phil." :o )
