I can't seem to find anything about these guys. Any pictures of their pedalboard? I'm loving their guitar delay tone. Anybody seen them live and caught a glimpse, etc. Thanks!

Can you guys tell anything from these?



Flickr has a bunch of shots of them, I haven't found any good shots where you can see the board yet.

it just sounds like clean guitar + reverb to me? I don't think she even uses delay. she's just playing the guitar.

Looks like someone is pressing a Boss DD pedal in the pic you posted.

Is there a rackmount unit that makes your band suck ass? They've probably got a couple of those with some sort of Pete Cornish custom switching system.

i know they use MPC for their drum parts i think.

I don't think they're using anything out of the ordinary to be honest. Like someone else has already mentioned,
it just sounds like clean guitar with reverb... I don't think it would be anything that you'd struggle to recreate yourself.

They played on Later with Jools Holland when the album first came out so it might be worth looking on YouTube for them playing on there. That might give you more of a clue as to what they use...

i spy two in pic

tuner, reverb.

Well I could of sworn there was delay in some tracks but, thanks. Nice find Dan

there could be more pedals, but thats all i could find. I'm pretty sure there is a subtle delay in some tracks too...

I think it is the way she plays that gives the "delay effect"

you'd be amazed at what you can get out of the guitar all on it's own. her playing is a pretty simple example. like, you can just keep playing the note over and over, you don't need a delay. =P


I think the "subtle delay" you're talking about dan, is just reverb.

Boss RV-3, which that pedal may be, always sounded more like really short delay than actual reverb to me. God knows what the difference is. I think it also has a delay mode.

the rv-3 has a few delay+reverb modes bare in mind

The very first note she plays, you see her hand clearly only playing the note once. This has got to be a delay setting:

Seems to all be about the TU-2 and RV-3.....

A Boss DD-7, clean amp & some guitar tab!

you are right dan, there definitely is delay on that track. I just had a listen to it on the album as well and it's the same.

yeah, on some EPs there is definitely delay. Dunno about on XX.

EDIT: ah, night time.
