Damien Rice Voice and guitar effects
 

hey...i listem to "o" but i dont find a lot of the effects and guitar equipments damien uses alive...at the gigs
someone knows anything about what kind of pedal effects he uses with the acoustic guitar ??? wich guitar he uses
and the two microphones...one is turned on a lot of effects???
tahnks.

Gd question. ALso whats that thing he uses to repeat things. He always does it live, especially at the end of I remember. Its like he puts tyhings on a loop?

i've never been to his gig, but it sounds like ur talking about echoplex

that's how they used to do it in the good ol' days^ and i know that john martin did it in the good ol' days. I've been wanting one for ages, but i don't know whether damo uses the actual thing, or whether he uses a digital pedal to synthesise it.

they seem quite hard to get ur mits onto, and they're pretty expensive. But still... i want one :(.

More commonly known as Live-Loop recording, there's many ways to do it, buy setting up a pedal to start the recording, another push to stop. then another pedal to start it playing. That's how Joseph Arthur did it anyway at his live gigs. I could ask my friend the sound engineer if he knows anything of it.

he uses a Line 6 DL4 for looping i think

this has been discussed before though, il try and dig up the old thread, it had a picture of his pedal set up and all. from what i remebered it included a Vox Wah, some RATs, a Marshal Distortion, some line selectors and the DL4

here we are

you could also use a digital delay to loop things

yeh but as far as i know, the BOSS DD6 only has 5 seconds of looping time, the DL4 is a delay modeller with i think around 15 seconds.....or you could use a dedicated loop station like the BOSS RC-20 which has like a monsterous 16 minutes

anyways, heres his pedal set up:

What a lucky man he is! i spent about an hour in the guitar shop looking at all the beautiful acoustics, but just bought some strings because i HAVE NO MONEY.

Get a job then :smiley36:
Getting a headrush soon :)
Oh penguin! I forgot to post, I've been busy, but there was a really cheap working echoplex on ebay.

14. Sorry, I'm a pedant.

i have a much clearer pic of his setup up than that but can't seem to upload keep getting errors, its bout 480k is tat to big. and maybe a few pics of the mic. ?????????

Damien's Pro Cro rat he uses is on sale at musiciansfriend.com and the stock is limited!

would he have to use something in the pa to stop feedback from using those distortion pedals with an acoustic,
whenever i try to use pedals with my acoustic i just get feedback

Make sure that you don't face the amp you're using, that should cut down on the feedback
