Re: Recommend the weirdest effects for Psychedelic rock!
i map the exp pedal to control feedback and delay time. with just a press of the pedal I can go from, say 100% feedback, max delay time, to 80% feedback, with minimal delay...you get the swooshing sound, but you can control it before it gets out of control (if you want to). the exp pedal (I use an ernie ball 25k jr vol pedal) is absoulutely essential with the dl4.

Pretty much any Boss multi-fx has the slow gear on it...a very fun effect...combine it with reverse reverbs and you are floating in the crab nebula.

Can that work by moving the Delay time or delay level knobs on an Ibanez Analog Delay with your foot?
About oscialtion effects, what would be a good one? How do they work exactly...i like the soundclips on catalinbread's Teaser Stallion...
"Reverse Reverb"? You mean Reverse Delay?

Really? I'd rather have a cheaper vibe with expression pedal.
Another good one is backwards delay, and the "octoswell" or whatever it's called setting on the L6 Verbzilla is cool.

with analog delays, just turn feedback up to the top, and delay all the way up to..play a note, and hear it oscillate. for the cool space ship sound, while it is echoing, turn the delay time knob down and then up again..fun!!
i mean reverse reverb...it starts out really wet, then the sound gradually gets 'closer' and is cut off abruptly. a gated reverb will work too, but it isn't as cool sounding.

The Tube, Mojo, and Deja2 'vibes are all expression controllable.

:laugh2: Hilarious. I can't tell you how many Pink Floyd tunes went through my head in the few minutes it's taken to read this.
Nothing beats a phaser + delay for psychadelic. Personally, I use an Arion SCH-1 Chorus and a number of delays to get that other world vibe going. Nothing like a good soundscape to take you away...

Re: Recommend the weirdest effects for Psychedelic rock!
i tend to use boss multifx for it...this is something i recorded with some slow-gear'd fady reverbs with 100% wet signal (some pitch transposing too, it sounds like): http://www.hazardfactor.com/collectives/lapwing.mp3

For the cash, I am partial to the Home Brew UFO (ultimate fuzz octave) pedal $150 US. The fuzz runs from razor sharp to muff soft. The octave function can be selected while the fuzz pedal is on...and sounds like hearing the last solo/outro of Hendrix's "Purple Haze". That upper "hornet's nest" sound as the song fades is the octave function of whatever pedal he was using. The HBE UFO is unbelieveably quiet! It is astounding the the amount of punishing music this pedal can put out, yet when the playing stops...all is quiet.

A wah pedal is a must.
I must add I not a big fan of single coil pickups, but they do seem to retain the guitar's musical character when put through extreme sonic alterations.
The Doors were mentioned as a psychedelic band, and I agree. But, they turned into a whiskey band from "Morrison Hotel" and beyond. The trippiest/spaciest album they ever created was "Strange Days". There is so much echo at some points, that it felt as if one were listening under water. The influence of (finally) good stereo sound techniques put to vinyl, and LSD culture is a major reason why "pschychedelic" music sounds as it does.

I like high quality harmonizers, but they usually cost a pretty penny! another guitarist makes harmonies way more fun anyway.

You can do a lot with reverb & trem from the amp....as far as effects, a Univibe, ADA Flanger, Echoplex and a Green Ringer. E Bows are pretty cool, too.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you ... the Meatball:
http://www.dinosaural.com/products_meatball.asp
It does everything from subtle auto wah to stuff that will make you seasick. Gravol not included.
EDIT: If you're close to the bathroom, feel free to listen to the sound samples at www.lovetone.com.

A volume pedal or judicious "pinkky-on-volume pot" use can get you close. I use the one on my GT-8 to approximate string and horn sounds.
You can get some really electronica flavored noises also when you combine it with the slicer effect.

I think that may be my next addition to my pedalboard. I really want to explore everything those L6 pedals have to offer. I'd probably use it even more than a wah pedal, to be honest. That effect is about played out, as I'm sure you agree. :13:
