Definitely sounds like they need to work on the groove a bit on this one... it's dragging, and it doesn't have that pimp-walk funk of the studio recording.


 

how old is the bass player, 10?


I knew about them here a while ago, and find them very good...

Yeah I was a little bored earlier today reading this thread, got the gears turning about this. I think that LS-2 in the corner is routed out to that Microkorg, and its setup to do that synthy octave noise thing. This is what I'm guessing anyways, probably totally wrong.


Fooled around with Guitar Rig + mah Whammy pedal. Got in the ballpark.

Just guitar > Whammy octave up + dry > M-Box, and then into Logic using Guitar Rig 4. Could have probably got a little closer if I spent some more time on what amp was used, but the signal chain in GR4 was: cranked Micro Synth > RE-301 > Octaver > Verb > JC-120.

Pedalboard from a few days ago

 

Now that's a pedal board. Have most of them worked out, but does anyone know what volume pedal that is? I'm thinking it may be an ernie ball stereo. Also, i can't see any trace of a flanger in that picture, or in any other picture for that matter. Always wondered what flanger they use. Shoulda payed more attention on friday night as to whether it was Dom or Kev flanging during Expectation...

Look guys, I just want to know what the {censored} the effect is on Alter Ego and Why Don't You Make Up Your Mind etc is.

It is actually making me cry.gif inside


TVD got there, but I swear it's way less complicated then it really is.


I even asked a fansite, and they said it was just a pitch-shifter. But 'just' pitchshifters don't make that awesome shimmery sound! mad.gifcry.gif


I love Tame Impala.

99% sure it's the microkorg. In the vids of Jeremys Storm and Alter ego for Viva or whatever that radio stations called, there are no pedals noticeable on the pedal board that could make such a sound, yet there is a microkorg sitting on the left of Dom. As long as those were the only two songs they played, there is no other reason for the microkorg to be there besides for use with the guitar to make that sound.

Firmly believe this as well.
