Question About Scott Henderson's Guitar FX

[Paul Marossy]

I'm familiar with most of his equipment from his website http://www.scotthenderson.net , but there is one effect that has me baffled. In his latest album "LIVE!", on the song "Xanax", starting at 4:50 until 5:05 there is a very interesting effect that is hard to describe. It almost sounds like a delay that is acting a doubler more than a delay. Has anyone else here heard that tune? If so, any idea what it is that creates that effect? Is it just a clever setting on a delay pedal? I'm wondering if it's DIY-able...

Could be the SE70, that has some great "modulation delay" patches which can sound
like that.
I got one a couple of years ago, fabulous box, even though it's a little dated, the VB-2 and
Slow gear settings are gorgeous ....

Could also be his quite awesome talent helping some !!

Ah, the SE70, eh? Interesting. I'm not familiar with that one, I'm going to have to do some research on it.

EDIT: I see that the SE70 is similar in concept to my Zoom 9030. That was when those little half-rack units were popping up during the early 90s...

The SE70 became quite sought after ( still is ! ) and you're correct, it's a "mid/late '90's" design.
I've seen them in many studios and rigs, the overdrive is fairly average, but the mod/delay and
tape delay settings are VERY tasty.
There's also very decent chorus/flanger/phaser patches, which are digital but extremely useable.
Reverbs are great also, in particular for guitar " s p r e a d"   

Mine is permanently strapped to my amps send / return loop
It's MIDI controllable and has an expression input, CV input and is stereo in/out both
at +4 db or -10 db if required

BTW   I HIGHLY recommend it

Hmm... sounds like a fun one to pick up and mess around with.

Since we are on fancy delay effects ... just wonderin how the delay repeats can have varied volume kinda like making it as if its a rotating delay...tubular motion.

I'm pretty sure that my Line 6 delay modeler ( rack ) can do that with the multi-tap delay.
It also has "dynamic" delay, so only the louder notes get loud delay and the softer ones
stay quite pure .... nice !
REcording delay's in software and "spinning" them with a stereo panner is interesting

 :icon_idea:Maybe a volume+ panner after delay might do the trick .... or just go all vintage - a simple volume pedal after  rock on baby
