Members petejt Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 I feel fucken stupid asking this question , especially since it seems fairly obvious that the chorus tone of the guitar in Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time sounds dead-set like the Roland Jazz Chorus 120 amp. Even more loony, since I have that amp myself. But, WAS IT that amp that was used for the tone & chorus effect? Or another chorus pedal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Karma1 Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 I don't know the answer, but her backup band at the time was a Philadelphia-based group called The Hooters. You might be able to look them up and find the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Goominim Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 It does sound like a Boss CE-1. I love that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guitar Josh Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 It does sound like a Boss CE-1. I love that song. For the record, the chorus circuitry in both the JC-120 and the CE-1 was exactly the same, so both answers could be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that Gloominim was supporting the OP's theory. bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OrangeLazarus Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 I dunno, personally, but that is a {censored}ing great track. I don't care what anybody says. Cindi Lauper puts so much emotion into her voice that you forget about the over processed sounds and focus on the raw feeling that is conveyed.

Members jonny guitar Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 Miles Davis has a really nice version of Time after Time ... such a nice melodic song. Youtube has a couple of live version like this one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=TNP9OuwCVJs&mode=related&search= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Your Brave Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 Willie Nelson, of all people redid Time After Time on his "The Great Divide" CD. He did it excellent too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Goominim Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 Which begs the question: what's the best Boss CE-1 clone out there? Which ones have the 3005 chip in them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Electric Catfish Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 of all people redid Time After Time on his "The Great Divide" CD. He did it excellent too. And Miles Davis, who also did the tune, also had a tune called "Willie Nelson". Coincidence??????:eek: Yeah, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it was rack gear. And a Marshall amp, surprisingly! I just found this information, from The Indie Musician.comhttp://theindiemusician.blogspot.com/2007/03/time-after-time-inside-story.html "TIME AFTER TIME" - THE INSIDE STORY Get an insider look at a professional recording studio experience. Producer/Engineer William Wittman remembers the techniques and equipment he used to record Cyndi Lauper's song "Time After Time". --------------------------------------The guitar was Eric Bazilian's Strat through Record Plant's 50 watt Marshall 2x12 JMP combo.It's got an 87 on it, probably compressed a bit with an La2a..........Then we moved up to the Mixroom, which had a customised Trident 56 in TSM.we set up the same amp and Eric overdubbed the final guitar playing in the control room between the two speakers with the amp in the little overdub room.At that point Cyndi mentioned Don't Stand So Close as a way to think about the verse guitar... since that said "chorus" to me, I put the Publison DHM-89 harmoniser on it and set it for a very short delay with a bit of pitch shift on each side, one side up the other down.and that's the guitar chorusing.-------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LedZep1985 Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 "Time After Time", and "True Colors", are my two personal favorite songs by Cyndi Lauper. Sarah McLachlan did a great job duetting with Cyndi Lauper on a remake of "Time After Time" on one of Cyndi's latest cds. That chorus tone sounds great on the song.
