Robben Ford Discussion

SuperReverb2

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything definitive using the search engine.
Does anybody know (or has found out) what kind of effect Robben is using on the album Jing Chi Live at Yoshi's? Is it a harmonizer, octave pedal, fixed wah, ???? It is VERY noticeable on the second part of the solo on Cold Irons Bound.

Thanks in advance

Chuck

The only FX Robben has ever used live in my 7 year tenure is wah pedal, volume pedal, and a tiny smidgeon of delay and, rarely, reverb.

Hi Daved:

THANKS for the reply it's GREATLY appreciated. It did sound like it was a "fixed wah" sound (more or less) but there also seemed to be a little something else going on as well. Maybe what I'm hearing is the keyboard player "harmonizing" as Robben is playing.

Take care

Chuck

Robben does have a little "AutoWah" stomp box that he is fond of which sees sporatic use in the studio, but, although it's entirely possible that I might be wrong, I can't remember ever taking it out on the road with us.

What kind of wah pedal is Robben using?

Daved mentioned in an earlier thread that Robben is using a custom Dunlop pedal that emulates and old Vox Wah.
