Does anyone know what the effect is on the guitar solo for the song "You Cut Me to the Bone". It's on his lp Robben Ford and the Blue Line, 1992.

it sounds like an evelope filter/auto wah to me???

Yeah, that's my favorite Robben solo. It fits perfectly into that song, nicely offsets the ultra laidback vibe of the rest of the song.

As for the effect, I'd say you're right, but don't know for sure..

Hey Guys,
In response to what effect Robben uses on that song, I believe it's just a strait/regular wah pedal. I've got a live video of him and the Blue Line playing in Germany and he's riding the wah pedal through that entire song. In the studio, he might have used an auto wah/envelope filter--it does sound a bit different to me too. You can go to www.virtualguitarmagazine.com/road_rigs.htm for a good look at Robben's rig--no drooling!! [Big Grin]

I saw him in Germany as well (just after he put out 'Handful of Blues' in Trier (I believe the club 'Duchsal'). He was using 2 Fender Blackface Twins (reissue or not, I don't know), a TS-808 and it appeared to be a Wah of some sort and a TC Chorus. There were 30 guitar players crowded to that part of the stage drooling over his pedalboard.

Probably just Guitar->wha-wha->Dumble ODS amp.

The amp he used live you saw was probably a 80's red-knob Twin or a Twin Amp (the current one). I've seen him use those amps 4-5 times in Europe.

His wha-wha is a modded Dunlop 535Q wha. Don't know what's been done to it though.

I just saw him Recently in Germany and he had 2 Red Knobbed twins and his Dumble head...One twin was for cleans and the other was not on...he only used the speakers for his Dumble...couldn't see his pedal board but heard a Wah and precious few if any other effects.

Chow,
