Roger Waters effects (The Wall)

[winterburn69]

Hi, looking for effects and tone Roger Waters used on The Wall and the following tour. I know he used a Fender P, maple fretboard, RotoSound Jazz 77 strings and for types of pedals I know he used delay, tremolo, chorus, flanger and a phaser.

What I'm looking for is the specific pedals he used, like brands and models.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I read that his delay is possibly a Binson Echorec or and Echoplex

This Was his pedalboard during The Wall tour.



Just Phase (90)
Space (?)
Balls (Bass Balls ?)
Delay

There is no tremolo at all on The Wall. Just a bit of Chorus on Hey You Fretless bass solo.

THe most noticeable effects he and Andy Bown used were Phase and Bass Balls

Waters (Gilmour and Wright too) used the Binson Echorec in early 70´s.
For the wall they used a digital delays

That looks like it says "SPARE" to me. I also see something marked "ECHO." Pink Floyd using echo? Who would guess?

yes.. it says SPARE on 2nd switch... But It says SPACE on 2nd knob (right by the volume pedal)

Balls is by far the best.

It says balls, echo, spare, phase, amps on, and the three 'phase spaceballs' knobs read speed, dist and sense. Right under those it reads tuner.

You are right...SPACE is written vertically by the knobs. (PHASE SPACE BALLS)
Here´s a close up.

Balls might refer to his phaser, if he used a Maestro...

I don't know The Wall well enough to say which effects are there on bass and which are not, but since we're talking about Pink Floyd, I'd say he used the Maestro phaser and not the Bassballs...

and SAVED from a complete derailing!

oh. well... they never used Maestro gear... Waters used an MXR Phase 90 since Wish You Were Here (1975).

Balls comes from Electro Harmonix BASSBALLS (Envelope Filter w/ distortion). Which is pretty noticeable on live recordings.
