Lyle: All of the audio and video recordings in this lesson was made with a Line 6 TonePort UX2 and the Gear Box software it came with. Here's a screen shot of the chorus effect setting:

zz: thanks dude.....looks like sweet little box

Lyle: This first delay riff is used in the rockabilly style. You set your delay to a 16th note echo of the beat of the song you're playing:





Delay effect 16th note slapback


Lyle: You can also set your delay to an 8th note, or half the beat of the music you're tapping your foot to.

Lyle: Here's an example of a quarter note repeat:



Lyle: This produces a real dreamy effect.



Delay effect quarter note echo


zz: like that quarter note delay.......looks like you playing just a pentatonic scale

Lyle: Yes, the A minor blues is what was used.

Lyle: Another delay setting is the dotted 8th note setting. The Edge from U2 uses this in a few songs.





Lyle: I also like to set my delay to a very long repeat and harmonize with myself. Here's a video example:



Lyle: Another effect that I used to use allot is called a Flanger. It's like a Chorus effect on steroids:



zz: sounds like something the who uses?



Flanger effect settings


Lyle: They used a synth set to arpeggiate the Baba ORiley intro.

Lyle: Another fun effect is the Phaser. It is like a mellow Flanger:





bluesguitarmp3: sweet

bluesguitarmp3: i like it

gitman: they sound nearly the same to me

gitman: flanger and phasor

Lyle: There are close, just depends how you set them up.

Lyle: Van Halen used an old MXR Phaser for most of his solos in the early days. He would set it to sweep very slowly. Here's an example:



zz: I gotta run dudes.......thanks for the lesson.Lyle....really was interesting

Lyle: The Rotary effect is popular too. Hendrix and Clapton used it from time to time. It comes from the special amp and speakers used for Hammond organs, the Leslie rotating speaker.

Lyle: Now go to your music store and try out some different effects. They might inspire you to play something different and come up with your own new sound.

Lyle: That's all the time I have tonight. Any suggestions for the next lesson on guitar essentials?

jimmy: do you recommend getting on processor for all effects or different pedals?

Lyle: The all in one devices have come a long way and are a good value.

Lyle: Gotta run, thanks everyone, have a good night
