yeah that actually sounds like hes just using a reverb pedal with a delay/echo box. i pretty much can replicate it with my dirty tubescreamer turned down to lower volume with the echo setting on my danelectro delay (modded into the damage) then hes basically shaking the guitar, banging on it, and scratching the strings to accentuate different harmonies, notes, and chords to accentuate the piece. You will find that you can pretty much recreate ANY effect short of ring modulation using a wah wah-> overdrive x2 (1 dirty/1 clean)> tremelo ->deja vibe -> assorted delays ->echo/reverb box -> whammy 2->phrase sampler->tube amp. you can mod your effects, guitars, lines, and amps, but basically thats all you need to do anything. I can make flanges, phases, etc just with my tremelo> deja vibe-> and overdriven signal. If GARMOPAT survives his surgery the next thing iam getting done is getting that modded moogfooger ring modulation.
