Anyone know how the tone on "Baby Blue" from Badfinger was made for the guitar part throughout the song?

no..I don't know. Liked their version tho...but it can't hold a candle to the Byrds' version nor the Chocolate Watchband's version, which I believe is THE best studio version yet...and they couldn't even play their instruments!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!

Ed Cobb baby!!!

my guess is that it's either a Magnatone or an Ampeg that has true vibrato and it's set really slow. It has that small amp fuzziness, and that warbling doesn't sound like a leslie. It could be a Univibe in vibrato mode, set really slow too.

I have a weird old Jordan Vibrasonic pedal that does a similar effect.

...and the solo has a bit of tape flange...

I hear the warbling at times also, sure is a nice tone though. Have not been able to get one close enough to my liking with my gear.
