The Horror's Three Decades...

[Radiohead625]

What the hell is going on in this song? The effects are some of the craziest I've ever heard. Anyone know how he's doing it? It sounds like a twisted carnival!!!

[TheOndrakGuy]

Josh Hayward is big on building his own effects... properly weird ones too (apparently he's a physics genius or something) - also, I think during this album, he was heavily into using a HOG.

[Radiohead625]

Cool shit.... This guy has some of the coolest sounds ever!

I'm a fan of The Horrors but I always get the impression that people exaggerate the guitar guy's FX wizardry. I expect that most of his own devices are fuzz pedals and the digital effects come from the familiar sources (I doubt he creates his own reverse reverb algorithms for instance).

[julius_deane]

Yeah, I hear fuzz, reverse reverb or delay or an auto swell and octaving of some kind.

I could create something similar with a combination of m5/POG/Hardwire Reverb/fuzz/Bigsby I think.

Definitely some great sounds on that album.

When you pause the video at 1:40 it just looks like a hog and a bunch of boss pedals.

[Radiohead625]

He probably only does his own fuzz pedals, but either way he has some amazing sounds. What's a good reverse reverb for cheap?

It's been speculated in the past that he's used a Digiverb, which is even cheaper. It sounds like he might use old Yamaha and/or Alesis rack effects though. Yamaha FX 500 units are usually pretty cheap.

Here's a pretty clear shot of his pedalboard:

Alesis Microverb III has a pretty nifty reverse reverb, to be picked up for cheap too

[Radiohead625]

ugh... rack gear

[Ghost Hip]

He mods his boss pedals himself as well,, just sayin.

I see:

- Pigtronix Phaser

- EH Hog

- Boss TR2

- 2 Boss DD7 (...?)

- Memory Boy

That's all I recognize...
