Hello = I just like to know if anyone here knows what effects Hank used on God Only Knows? (Specs Appeal). I assume he also used a Wah Wah pedal.. the Glassy guitar tone that fits well with the song.
Thank You.

Hi Oz
Not totally sure about this but I understand that at the time he had a DeArmond Model 610 Volume Tone Effects Pedal.
The DeArmond 610 is relatively unique, as it moves in three dimensions: up/down for the regular volume effect, but it is also a foot controlled sweepable left/right 'tone' effect.
The Tone effect is basically somewhere between turning a tone knob on a guitar with your hand and a wah-wah. It is a passive effect, no batteries required, so it doesn't boost any frequencies like a wah does, but it does have a wide rrange of sounds.
The pedal was fitted with a rare Allen & Bradley volume pot.
Hank also used this pedal for tunes such as ‘"A Place in the Sun" and " Maroc 7 "
Hope that helps ..
Stay safe.
Derek

Hi Derek.. Thanks very much.. That was very informative. Yes, I think I saw him using one pedal that goes sideways(instead of up/down).. most probably like that one you mentioned above and a bit of wah-wah. The pot by Allen/Bradley must have played a major role for it's Tone..Thanks again Derek.. much obliged!

I had one of these pedals for a while and couldn't get on with it. I could do the up and down mode OK but the side to side movement and trying to play at the same time had me beat!

Hi Os

Hi Oswald,
In the Shadows Club I use to run one or two players used and got pretty good results with the Fender Tone/Volume pedal, I believe they are still available?
Regards
Gary
Sorry, I have just checked and they have now been discontinued, but there may one or two on the second hand market!
