Members dgc480 Posted May 22, 2009 Members Share Posted May 22, 2009 I love the solo tone on this song. Before you hate on this song, please just listen to the tone dripping solos in this clip. Soo funky and psychadelic. I found a Fuzz pedal called a Hartman Silicon Fuzz that sounds a lot like the ground-base effect he's using. http://www.theohartman.com/HARTMAN_BC108.mp3 However, there's a Germanium Fuzz that sounds fuller and more toneful in my opinion. This clip has face-melting tone and sustain. http://www.theohartman.com/HARTMAN_Ge_NKT.mp3 So, then it sounds like he's using some kind of modulation on top. Maybe an old phase 45? (new stigtronics phaser 45 should do the trick). Unless anyone can tell if it's a phase 90, or I may be way off on the whole phase effect. thanks for any help, am I the only one who thinks it would be sweet to get that tone? I mean, I do play in a funk band so I'm a bit biased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheLemon Posted May 22, 2009 Members Share Posted May 22, 2009 Ram's Head Big Muff combined with a Maestro Phaser. Marc from Skreddy Pedals make the ? Lady that is supposed to nail that sound minus the phaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jorhay1 Posted May 22, 2009 Members Share Posted May 22, 2009 i read an interview with ernie that said it took a couple of days to nail that sound big muff, maestro phaser and some strange old school studio techniques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onyxrhino Posted May 22, 2009 Members Share Posted May 22, 2009 weird. I've always heard that it was the Roland Jet Phaser on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Severed Pumpkin Posted May 22, 2009 Members Share Posted May 22, 2009 Skreddy Ernie + Maestro phaser = that exact tone. The Ernie was named after Ernie Isley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stereojunkie Posted May 22, 2009 Members Share Posted May 22, 2009 the Isley brothers are just too cool for life. ya'll ever hear the story where Les Claypool was auditioning for "rock band" Metallica and he pulled out his bass and asked them if they wanted to jam out some Isley brothers tunes? Bring back da funk, brothers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sethlover Posted May 22, 2009 Members Share Posted May 22, 2009 weird. I've always heard that it was the Roland Jet Phaser on that one. That would make some sense. Those Jet Phasers were very popular in the funk scene during the 70's but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skr3ddy Posted May 22, 2009 Members Share Posted May 22, 2009 That would make some sense. Those Jet Phasers were very popular in the funk scene during the 70's but who knows? The song predates the Jet Phaser by ~2 years according to http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/nov04/articles/roland.htm Srsly; it's was done with a Big Muff into a Maestro Phase Shifter, direct into the mixing board, with lots of overdubs.

Members Bobby D Posted May 22, 2009 Members Share Posted May 22, 2009 marc sounds right, you can hear the "direct to board" sound on that solo.....it's a bit ragged and pretty obvious he played direct into the pedals and into the console...gilmour does this sometimes too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad. I was pretty sure Larry Graham was using one in the early 70's on those Graham Central Station albums. Here's him demoing it around 2:00 checkout around 1:00 [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] This is a cut [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Karma1 Posted May 22, 2009 Members Share Posted May 22, 2009 Ernie Isley is one of my favorite guitarists. If you want to hear what, in my humble opinion, is his best recorded guitar solo, check out a song called "Hope You Feel Better Love". It's from "The Heat Is On" album. They really gave him room to stretch out and cut loose on this one with an extended Hendrix-inspired solo that is absolutely smoking. His own album "High Wire" has some great stuff on it too, if you can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO its in the top three that Skreddy has put out. So much fuzz and sustain without being real muddy or noisy. Just a great all-around fuzz tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its low noise for a big muff but with a lot of gain and fuzz you'll always have some noise. I like the small size and reliability over the EHX units.
