Name That Effect

[Guybrush]

Hey all

Just wondering if anyone could help identify the effect used during the solo in the clip below? The track is a live version of Kevin Carter by Manic Street Preachers.

It's nothing super crazy or anything just a really nice sounding (to my ears) squelchy phaser or filter I think. Can anyone with better ears than me put their finger on what it might be?

The solo kicks in at the 1:04min mark. The effect seems to get more pronounced around 1:20mins.

Its highly likely a Boss Flanger.
For someone with such cool sounds, the man use(d/s) a lot of Boss stuff /corksniffer

Are you talking about the almost doubling sound? Boss octave pedal will do that. I have the latest octve pedal, ocv-3 I think gives me that same sound.

Cheers guys. I'm referring to the phaser/flanger sound so I think LaceSensor maybe correct. He's playing octaves so that will explain the doubling effect.

There's very few (it any) decent photos of his pedal board as it's operated off-stage by his guitar tech.

Thanks!

Also, because I can't leave well enough alone, he apparently was using a MXR Micro Flanger for the album before that one. Its possible he used that again in the studio.
