Yeah, the wah I'm referring to is the Vox simulation. Much smoother
and even than my crybaby.

A couple questions: Are all your effects on that track VST,
or are you using some hardware as well? Was all the looping done in
Mobius?
I had to actually listent to the
song again to remember. The first sound you here are from the Lexicon
PSP84 (VST effect processor). And so is the effect on the guitar that
starts in after that intro. Ah yes...the rich pad effect is my Boss
VF1...should have known. I created a MAX/MSP patch that emulates that
VF1 patch, but I haven't had time to convert it to VST. Then later on
the stuff with the high octave/delay on the guitar is the PSP42.
I just got a Digitech EX-7 (on the clearance rack at Guitar Center!) a
couple weeks ago, and it has (among other things) a model of the XP300
Space Station (that I love) and one of the best sounding Wah-Wahs I've
ever heard. I've been having a blast combining those sounds with some
tremolo, phase, and delays attempting to get at some of the sounds you
made on that track. Tons of fun!
Sounds like it. I haven't used wah
in quite a while...I still have my Vox wag in a box somewhere, which
was always a favorite of mine for its smoothness.

On the subject of guitar pedals, I also just got the Danelectro Wasabi
Forward/Reverse delay. I have to admit that I don't like a couple of
the functions as much as I thought I would (the tap tempo is a bit
glitchy when trying to fine-tune while playing and the switch on the
back to attenuate the pedal for use with Humbucking pickups seems to
only make the output quieter), but I did find one function to be a
pleasant surprise: Unlike my other delay pedals, when you set the
pedal to infinite delay and use the speed knob to manually change the
loop length, it doesn't pitch shift. That was actually disappointing
to me until I realized that it also doesn't lose your recorded content
when you shorten the delay time, so you can go back to your original
length, and if you overshoot it, it just adds silence to the end.
Maybe there are tons of delays out there like this, but I'd never used
one, so it was revelation to me.
It's a blast to play around with! I was demoing it for one of my
guitar students and started by looping a 3 second drone (the max delay
time), and layering some rhythmic harmonics. Then I hit the reverse
button, which flipped the whole loop backward, and layered some other
rhytmic stuff. I then slammed the speed knob to 0 to make it stutter,
and then slowly pulled it back to the original loop time.
Of course, it doesn't really work as a looper, but it was cool enough
to make my student's eyes pop!

Thanks you, Josh. That is very kind of you. :) Nebula is
one of my favorites too....it does make me feel as if I were in a
spaceship, traveling through galaxies, etc and observing astrophysical
phenomena.

I'd just like to go ahead and throw out
my recommendation for this album. Nebula, in particular, has been in
fairly heavy rotation on my iPod lately and has inspired some tricks
I've been throwing into my electric playing. Very spacey!
Per's new album is also excellent. It inspires such creativity, that
I've made it my workday soundtrack.
Get them both!

FYI...for those who use iTunes,
here's the link to my new CD "Fragments". For some reason, you can buy
only a few songs individually, or the whole CD digitally. Not sure why
they do that!
That happened to me as well on an album release at iTMS. I think it is
when a piece is longer than ten minutes. Greedy Apple might think that
would give you too much for too little money ;-)
BTW, what iTMS aggregator service did you go through? I've been using
CD Baby in the past and am looking into AWAL now.

Previews sound interesting. That ambience and alien scales... scary
stuff :-)
