Jeff Buckley Guitar Sound
Anybody know what effects Jeff used in halleluiah? can't quite put my finger on it. kinda chorusey but not as harsh/cheesy/80's?

On the studio version, some massive reverb nonsense.
If you buy the full version of "Live at Sine", you'll realize you don't need any of that reverb nonsense. The magic is in how he plays. Goes to show you how little you need besides a Tele and an amp. (Probably a Deluxe or Princeton, maybe a Twin).

oh boy...that takes me back
jeff buckley....exactly what others said, tele, fender amp and its reverb. later, a les paul and a rick. his live sound was very much the rick, in the normal albums...the live at sine thingy is with a borrowed tele that he ended up keeping.
interesting cat. people thought he was jesus or something. disturbing to listen to now though.

I believe he used an Alesis Quadraverb on his guitar rig.
The studio version could be anything though.
Check out the live Mystery White Boy dvd.
By the way, what a great song. Ironically, I love both Buckley's and especially John Cale's cover of that song better than the original Leonard Cohen version, though Cohen is a lyrical idol of mine. I think Buckley patterned his cover after Cale's as well.

I always thought it sounded like he was using an EHX POG. But I could be wrong. Brilliant song, brilliant performance. Sent chills up my spine first time I heard it.

Buckley died years before the POG was a blip on Mike Matthews' radar screen. You're right about the chills, though. A man and a guitar. Nothing else.KennyLusk wrote:I always thought it sounded like he was using an EHX POG. But I could be wrong. Brilliant song, brilliant performance. Sent chills up my spine first time I heard it.

A man, a guitar, and an edit I think. I remember seeing or reading somewhere that the song is pieced together from at least 2 different takes. I have a theory it might be on a certain guitar upstroke.Rodgre wrote:Buckley died years before the POG was a blip on Mike Matthews' radar screen. You're right about the chills, though.

Eric, what do you mean by this? Can you elaborate?

Quadraverb, definitely. I believe Brian McTear of Miner Street here in Philly has Buckley's old units as well as his handmade presets. At least that's what he told me a few years ago...
