    on their song 12:51 they have an instrument that sounds awful like a moog syntheiser, but on the video it look as one of the guitarists is playing this on his guitar

    is he using a pedal, or is he trying to make himself sound great.

    i love that sound and i can't afford a syntheiser so a compact pedal would do the job lovely

    Any chance you could record a clip and upload it? Shouldn't be against the rules really...

    Sounds like a filter to me, like a Deluxe Electric Mistress with the timing circuit turned off...

    Yeah, I know the feeling. Wait til the others arrive and wait and see.

    I first thought it was a phaser or flanger through a wah pedal but the tone didn't change to the DEL popped into mind. Mate has one and you can get that sort of tone.

    I'm loving the full metal tone that makes you feel sick when you hear it. Very had to describe...
