Synchro & Samurai,

Thank you both so much for the kind words! Our bass player wrote Rochelle as a vocal tune in the 1980s, but it wasn’t ever released! I’m just playing his vocal lines on the guitar and I agree it is a great tune!!!

Surf On!

Paul

Nice! What is the effect on guitar in the beginning, some kind of delay?

Enjoyed the video. The personality of the band members really came through. Would love to have seen the gear pics up on the screen a bit longer...

Hi Samurai,

There’s several effects going during this song, at the beginning there is definitely a delay on and also a phaser, specifically the Explorer Deluxe pedal from Spaceman Effects. For my delays I use Malekko ID-300 and ID-600… sometimes both at the same time

Trust me, I spent way more on the pedals than the cables…

I know what you mean. My modest, five-pedal board came in at close to $2,000.

Thanks! I love that you use various effects, it makes it sound fresh and unusual but also good that you have a good taste in not overusing them. I think it’s really easy to make it annoying, but surely that’s not your case!
