Websites For Effect Settings For Rock Songs

Does anyone know where to find the exact settings for the effects used on popular rock tunes. Examples would be the intro for 'She Sells Sanctuary' and the solo on 'Like A Stone' etc. I have a TC Electronic G-Force and it can be complicated, if you want it to be.

But i don't want patches just for the G-Force. Just effect settings that everyone can use. A bit like the amp settings thread from yesterday, but a bit more detail than that one.

Re She Sells Sanctuary:

"People used to bribe the producer to tell them what pedals and effects I used to get the guitar sound in the beginning of the song, that whole kind of mystical Easterny sound. The story that goes along with that is, it was a whole BOSS pedal board. I definitely had two delays in it, ‘cause there are two delays working against each other —long and short delays. It’s 400 and 800 milliseconds, approximately, at the beginning of the song. Also, it’s the way I pick — the attack of the pick and where I pick it on the neck. It sounds like a silly old story, but we were recording “She Sells Sanctuary” in a studio in London called Olympic, where Zeppelin and Free used to record. It subsequently was bought by Virgin and has become a more modern studio, but back in the day it was an orchestral studio where they’d record film scores. I was in there during “She Sells Sanctuary,” and I found a violin bow, and I started to play the guitar with the bow like Jimmie Page. I did it to amuse Atsbury, who was in the control room, and in order to make it sound weirder, I just hit every pedal I had on the pedal board. Then once I stopped banging the strings and doing all that, I played the middle section of the song, which was kind of a pick thing with all the BOSS pedals on, and that sound just leaped out. The producer went, “Hold it, hold it, that’s great!” And we decided to start the song with that mystical sound. If I hadn’t found that violin bow laying around, we wouldn’t have gone there"



So it just looks like a mix of flanger, delay and chorus

well the effect for like a stone is a whammy pedal set to two octaves up and delay.

Not too sure about She Sell Sanctuary tho!

It was a good site but they haven't updated it in ages. It's a pity.
