The Mars Volta: effects question!!!


Recommended Posts

  • Members

If you guys listen to The Mars Volta you know that the guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez uses quit a few effects. I love listening to this band and alway wanted to know what he uses. This might be an impossible question, but if you guys have any ideas I would love to hear them.

 

thanks

I never understood why so many players like to put tape over the pedals' logos.

 

 

one rumor is that he didn't want to look like he was endorsing any brand in particular....

nah...different strokes fer you...

 

But, Omar and Frusicante seem to be buds. The former does a solo on the new RHCP while the latter also shows up on TMV's Deloused.

 

Omar's influence comes through on a couple tunes off the new RHCP, "Strip My Mind" in particular...I think.

 

It's all good...we're all friends here :wave::thu:

omar had frus. play quite a bit a francies.

 

from what i understand.....Omar is not going to play AT ALL on the upcoming record.

 

 

he is having frusciante play ALL of his parts, so he can concentrate 100% of his efforts on the recording and producition.

yeah...that's right. didn't flea also do some of the horns on that one too? i'm not sure.

 

 

He did some on Frances, as they now have a permanent bassist and he didn't play any bass on this album. If you own the albums, it says who does what and when.

That is totally retarded. Frusciante is a good player, but that's just lame.

I;m a big mars volta fan . live they put on a great show...

 

 

now that im into effects more than ever , i realized , that big board plays him ... he doesn't use his effects all that great ...

 

he'd could get away with a board with just 7 pedals tops..
