Question:Hey there,

I've played around with my effects pedals and amps and I just can't seem to get this sound, can you help me?

What are the effects used in the intro of 'All The Young Dudes' by Mott and the Hoople? (if you don't know it, it's here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT54T42ld... )

Thanks in advance

There may not be any effects. It sounds like a good tube amp with the gain turned up high, with maybe a little chorus. Also, there is some playing in harmony (two notes at the same time) but that's done on the guitars and not with effects. The answer is pretty expensive: a high quality tube amp.

Good luck!

It sounds like they are useing a light delay
