Members Funky Chowder Posted June 26, 2007 Members Share Posted June 26, 2007 I don't know for sure, but I'll bump this with my guess: a DigiTech Whammy (I believe he used the sought-after WH-1) with a two-pickup guitar (one with volume up, one with volume down). Each little double-stop is a power chord, essentially. You could set the Whammy to generate the top note (e.g., you play the roots while the pedal is set to a 5th) or the bottom (you play the top note while the pedal is set to a 5th below you). Then, you could hammer on each note while your pickup toggle is to the volume-down pickup, then just switch to the volume-up pickup, and then abck to volume-down for the next note. Does that make sense? It's actually a bit easier than what I might make it sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sainty Posted June 26, 2007 Members Share Posted June 26, 2007 delay and guitar toggle switch, its on the mexico dvd. I find it pretty hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lanefair Posted June 26, 2007 Members Share Posted June 26, 2007 I read somewhere ages ago that even Tom struggled to play this one. I'd use a tap tempo tremolo and save my wrists. But yeah it's toggling the volume on and off, probably using a whammy so he only has to play one note at a time instead of a power chord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funky Chowder Posted June 26, 2007 Members Share Posted June 26, 2007 For that matter, you could possibly get away with just doing a hammer-on for each note while having the Whammy harmonize it. I used to do it with hammering on the power chords, but my technique wasn't very clean, and it'sa bit harder to do, albeit less rig-specific.

Members cromulent Posted June 26, 2007 Members Share Posted June 26, 2007 he does the same thing on bulls on parade, sliding his hand on the strings, very much like scratching on a record. I find even that hard to do because I could never get the timing right or the scratchiness loud enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sainty Posted June 26, 2007 Members Share Posted June 26, 2007 That's pretty cool. I had assumed otherwise.Much respect to his technique. yeah, I'm pretty sure all his pedals have one setting and that's it. whammy being 2 octaves up.

Members Welladjusted Posted June 26, 2007 Members Share Posted June 26, 2007 Whammy harmonizing (in fifths?) with the toggle mute trick. It can be done without a whammy pedal, but Tom does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Raskolnikovs axe Posted June 26, 2007 Members Share Posted June 26, 2007 i read in an interview years ago that he uses a whammy a 5th up on that part specifically, of course with the toggle switch trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RUExp? Posted October 25, 2007 Members Share Posted October 25, 2007 He uses a Boss Tremolo pedal too so it could be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Heineken Posted October 25, 2007 Members Share Posted October 25, 2007 His guitars are equipped with a custom 2 way mute switch (signal/mute), doing this with your regular pickup toggle switch is way harder since you have a 3 way switch and it is noisey(pops) when doing it this way. I doubt if he used his whammy on this part though i could be wrong. Its mostly tapping techniques and his mute switch if you ask me.

Members LeeC1987 Posted November 1, 2017 Members Share Posted November 1, 2017 Sorry to resurrect a long dead thread for my first post, but I'm using a POD500x and it has a smart harmony function that unlike the Whammy requires a key and scale as well as the interval. I set it to a 5th above because I'm sure about that part, I tried it first in F# minor since that's the key of the song but it sounds trash, the closest I've come to replicating it is in E major and I have no clue about the theory as to why that is. Does anybody know how I could set up a smart harmony pedal for this song to mimic exactly what a Whammy pedal does? The options are all the keys (obviously), then for scales it has major and minor, pentatonic major and minor, and also the harmonic and melodic minors.
