Effets throw away your television

As for amps, "I was using this big Fender spring reverb from the 60’s" he continues. "I used it with a modulation synthesizer - that’s the sound you hear on the Throw Away Your Television chorus. As you’d expect by the name, it has ‘great reverb’ but also a really thick sound and a great tone. I listen to a lot of surf compilations and there’s a lot of really cool surf music that came out of the early 60s that was made by 15 year old kids and that’s how they sounded." Singling out another fine guitar moment, John reveals, "For Don’t Forget Me, I used and envelope filter and I was using the volume pedal a lot on that song too - and that Line 6 pedal in one of the analogue delay settings to where it’s constantly feeding back. Just as it was about to feed back, I’d just turn the knob as I’m playing to prevent it from going into full-on feedback. It gives it that spooky kind of feeling."
