Oh, Candy Solo - Cheap Trick

[atomicwash]

What effect is Rick using in that solo?

[RobB]

Maybe an old univibe with the rocker pedal?

[cmatthes]

That, or a dialed down Leslie.

That sounds more like it. A really CLEAN Leslie. Doesn't have that phasery whoosh that Unis have.

[Steve Haynie]

Guessing Univibe just like RobB and cmatthes.

[Navigator]

Sounds like a phaser (MXR, et al) set on fast speed to me. That was the standard effects pedal back in the day (before chorus), and I used to cop that sound with my MXR Phase 100.

I've got a Phase100 and a Leslie and it sounds more like the latter to my ears. I've never heard a Univibe in person before so I can't discount that. Does kinda sound like something that's controlled by pedal because it has a bit of a wah-ish effect as the speed is ramped up at the start of the solo.

[atomicwash]

Cool! Thanks for all the input. I've heard Will Sergeant from Echo and the Bunnymen use a very similar sound. I'm a student of the 80's, so I'm not too familiar with modulation before chorus.

[cmatthes]

I've seen Rick do it live with a VOX wah, but it doesn't sound the same as the record.

Whatever it is, it's got 'warble', but I'm hearing very little if any of the 'Doppler' effect that Leslies have.

All i know is "Great Song!"

[gtone]

Wah + Leslie on fast setting?

[LordOfTheThighs]

Ricks playing "High Priest Of Rhythmic Noise" on keyboard, to open "Oh Candy".

[atomicwash]

Nice!
