Solved
Via reddit...
I googled it for you, and I found an old guitar magazine article that says this:
'Its eerie intro consists of Denis’ guitar processed into cut-up staccato blips by a Yamaha SPX90 with its noise gate engaged. “I just went crazy scratching the chords very fast,” he explains. “I was trying to simulate what the keyboard did on Pink Floyd’s album.”'

Thanks for your topic, its making me a very fine an good resource to save as beginner
Whatever happens if you spend time on reddit - don't let it get you down. Always post your questions in more than one sub to avoid the likely insta-downvoters. Sometimes reddit can be great - like the redditor who gave me that great answer. But other times - it's crabs in a bucket over there. A site like this is usually far better because it's a community and people can't get away with being petty, stupid, obnoxious or some horrible combination of those things. I've had a lot of luck starting threads at a nearly dead b-movie forum because a surprising number of the few people still there play guitar. Community again.
Also - when somebody says something is impossible or nearly impossible - sometimes (if not often) what they really mean is that's true for them.
Oh dont worry im really not in.
Was an lurker if I got in with, it would have been with asearch sometimes but since the drama, I avoid it as much as possible for the boycott principle. But ez for me BC I wasn't really in.
Lemmy is my first , I've never used mastodon or others because I hate the twitter mechanic.
But I'm following Foss news and combined with the reddit drama I decided to got in Lemmy.With Lemmy I have enough drama and others to see now, so if I do an search, I stay on it. If I go wandering it wouldn't be on reddit but on video games or guitar now ^^.
And with this topic you really do the mess job for me in a kind, if I can say, By being here, and with your post, I know I can be here and have the good stuff of the internet, by interests. From where after not my concerns and if an drama to follow, I will of on Lemmy ah ah.
But ty for your kindness 🥰
Could be a crazy sort of delay effect with a lot of the settings cranked, or a sampler?
happyandhappy thinks it's tremolo pedal. I've never used one so I'm about to google.
I watched 4 tremolo pedal demos. They weren't like the song and they weren't very good. My hunch right now is the guitarist used a tremolo pedal with a knob or two at a very low or very high setting to get a kill switch-like vibe.
Everything is so directed towards products and marketing. Youtube and google serve me up vids for products. I don't want that. Give me an uploader who has experimented a lot with that pedal and they are screwing around. That's what I want. They don't even have to play well. I want sonic explorations not "This pedal does a great job of capturing the classic 1950s Fend—" Shut up!
I watched a demo vid. That's a funky box. In fact - I think Bill Frisell uses that in the last ~4m of this - Bill Frisell ~ La La Means I Love You. It's such a fantastic cover.
Thanks.
I also posted at reddit. Twice to avoid frustration. One of my posts was removed by a bot for "link dropping". Huge reddit subs are the worst. Bots tell you to read the rules. But the rule I broke isn't even mentioned so how can I be certain the bot won't remove my post again or an annoying mod won't remove it because I didn't obey the fucking spirit of the rules?
Anyway - the largest reddit guitar subs are a trip. Nobody seems to actually play there. They are only there to dream.
i love music forums but most people are absolute dorks about it online. my dream would be to have a communist music forum with the depth and engagement you can find in niche music forums, but not cringe. definitely like post here if you have more topics of discussion lol
If you're curious - somebody at reddit gave me a great answer and I put it in the self text.
post here if you have more topics of discussion lol
I certainly will. I'll have questions again.
that makes sense i was gonna say that really theres a lot of ways to cut it up like that but if you were gonna play it through a guitar a harsh (square) tremolo would be how to do it
harsh (square) tremolo
Ah - another piece of the puzzle I didn't know.
