whats going on here?

What guitar effect is he using or what is he doing from 2 mins onwards. The singer that is. First he starts just playing one note over but then it turns feedbackish. How is he doing that?

Great song by the way!

Just a delay with a load of compression behind it methinks!

As above, just delay. I dunno, I can't notice any compression, mostly 'cause I don't usually ever notice compression unless it's stupidly harsh. Distortion and delay (distortion before or after? I dunno), and a relatively high feedback on the delay.

It sounds like he is partially muting the notes at the start as well so as not to let them ring out (which gives it the choppy sound) but then starts to let them ring out.

Aye, that's what it sounds like to me, a delay pedal, fast speed/rate setting and loads of feedback, towards the end he bends down and manually adjusts the rate.

Here's another one for y'all, I've been meaning to ask about this for ages:

From 5.40.

AFAIK, Jack White's effects pedals consist of Big Muff, Whammy, and POG. Can a POG do that? Or what's the craic?

It sounds a lot like Underworld's 'Rez', and 'Rez/Cowgirl' is one of my favorite tracks ever, I'd love to do a cover of it (I'm playing with a DJ + Percussionists/Vocals and using loops and whatnot so it may be do-able!)

Any ideas?

Sounds like Jack's using a step phaser.

As for Underworld, that's a synthesiser with a relatively high filter resonance I think and the cutoff frequency set to taste.

Bootsy.

Thanks for that.

That's another damn pedal to add to the list!
