It is actually making me 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!
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.
