anyone famililar with the effects on the opening guitar in this song

im just curious..for a while now i have been putting my ears to a test and have been doing pretty good as far as identifying effects

i can hear some reverb and delay but there is something else in there as well

Bet there's some chorous on that, seems like every guitar track in pop, rock music of that era(late 70's to late 80's) was "effected"!

not sure about the intro riff...but the effect on Rabin's solo was an MXR Pitch Transposer, which mixed the original note with one a perfect fifth/fourth(can't remenber!)higher.

One of the early Boss pedal dictionaries(that came with compact pedals), probably volume 3...had the pedal layout to get that tone.

I have one around here somewhere...or it may be on this website.

The solo seems to pan between the left & right channel too.

They did a lot of processing on that solo. I think they may have even done a fair bit of sampling with the Fairlight.

Hi silvertone6120 & Guys

We have a copy in the scans, "Pocket Dictionary Volume 1, page 42".
Here is the link:

Below is a screen-resolution snapshot of that section, to minimize the load on the servers:

Thank you Dr. Bob...I couldn't find my copy anywhere. I never had volume 1 though; the earliest I had was volume 3 and it was in that one also.
But I knew it would turn up on here!

Dr. Bob with the diagnosis! I'm part way there,I've got the NF-1, VB-2 and HM-2. Oh well! P.S. That is a pretty famous recording that feature's the VB-2.

Hi silvertone6120

If you have ever checked at anytime?
We have a few of the Pocket dictionaries scanned over on the other section of the bossarea.com site.
http://www.bossarea.com/pocket.asp

Unfortunately we only have the front cover of Volume-3, and no internal scans.

If you or anyone are ever able to scan the internal pages of Vol-3,
at at least 300 DPI, bossarea & all the members here would be very grateful.

Late last year I was very fortunate, that my good friend Justin,
gave me his pristine copy of Volume-1.

Regards Dr. Bob
