Anyone know what he used on Paperhouse, from Tago Mago - inparticular the vibrato sound? I'm thinking it's probably a phaser, but which one?

I just Bought The Tago Mago reissue on vinyl. It's bloody great! They've reissued loads of their records, very 'spensive tho. (sorry, I don't know that answer to your question tho)

Not really sure but They used to make a lot of their own stuff in those days. Love Can, amazing band. One of our fish is called Damo

Delete the "s" from "https" and it works like a charm.

I should imagine that it's Irmin Schmidt doing some sort of mischief to his sound. I'm a Can obsessive (and built my strat as a Karoli-Caster), but it's very hard to find out what gear he uses. I haven't a scooby. Even the fuzz-wahs are very difficult to pin down.
