Sounds to me like something Mike Stroud would play and I think he uses a Whammy for octave up with various fuzzes. I'd put my money on fuzz + dat POG

Oh man it's the best. So inspiring (and incredibly humbling). It's one of those albums where you hear something new and mind-blowing every time you spin it.

its probably a cheaper octave fuzz if anything. bowerbirds aren't the band to have anything all that outlandish from what i know of them

Really pretty sounding whatever it is. I'm in the camp of non-Ebow but with some kind of clean octave tracking thing into some light fuzz. Is that a camp up in here? That's the one I'm in.

And maybe I just suck at playing mine or use it in a different way.
exactly.
Yep.
I don't think it's an ebow either.

Totally dude, I remember buying it used in this huge local record store that I went to a few years ago and the only name I recognized was Zappa so I bought it, never hearing anything else by him and it totally grew on me (being one of the few records I owned since this was before I was old enough to have paypal/credit)

i think it may be a guitar played into one of the Line6 "synth" effects models that are included in the FX Junkie supplement to the PodXT, or some kind of similar modelled-synth-effect.

Fuzz could be Zhago, although they might not have had them when they recorded this. I know they have them on their boards.

Really?
Bowerbirds have Zhago?
They're into Dwarfcraft?
Somebody needs to ask them and I nominate Casavettes since he started this thread.

I figured they might have D-CRAFT... The guitar board on the other page shows 4 pedals and one is a tuner and one is a P.O.G. so that leaves two...
