Does anybody know the effect that Ben Kenney uses with Incubus on the Alive at Red Rocks DVD. He uses it I think during the song Drive and then for a little run before the next song. It sounds like he is playing some type of organ, but if anybody knows the effect/pedal I'd really appreciate it. Here's the clip of it on youtube.
Thanks |

Funny enough I was just playing along with that DVD out of sheer boredom and respect for that man's playing and the band as a whole.
The other thing that's affecting his tone is the use of flatwounds on his bass. |

Wow, I'm starting to think I'm becoming some sort of obsessive fan here. I'm just a gear nerd, I swear! |
