Actually, Nils Lofgren played that solo. Check out the last page of the May '05 Guitar One. He talks about it and there's a brief transcription, but it doesn't specify the effect...he just says that Bruce said "Let's put a flange on it, or a chorus." It's pretty wet, I'd guess more of a chorus sound, but it could be a few effects simultaneously. Great solo.

That solo always reminds me of a Boston song, maybe "Don't Look Back." Great solo.

Re: What effect do you think was used on Tunnel of Love?
thanks bro had to look that one up but always said to myself "that sounds like a xylophone made of bells"! Here's the encyclopedia def for everyone:
"The glockenspiel (German, "play of bells", also known as orchestra bells and, in its portable form, lyra) is a musical instrument in the percussion family. It is similar to the xylophone, in that it has tuned bars laid out in a fashion resembling a piano keyboard. The xylophone's bars are wooden, while the glockenspiel's are metal."

yup ... that's the instrument ... i think one is used on 'born to run' too ...
i have a guitar synth patch i use that blends a glockenspiel tone with a fast 'attack' and quick decay with a flute tone that has a slower attack and longer sustain ... so when i play and hold a note, the 'ping' gives way to the 'oooooooh' ....
