Anthony Jackson's effects ???

[doncorey]

Hi,

I'm wondering if you or anybody you might know of, knows which effect/ s that Anthony Jackson uses on Chaka Khan's Naughty album . He uses it on the whole album but it is particularly strong on the breaks of the first song "Clouds " . He uses it on the Steve Khan album, Public Access, on the first song Sise . If you need me to I can probably find other examples , it shows up on alot of his work , I could also provide more specific info on exactly when the sound I'm talking about occurs ( ie, measure numbers or the time in the piece ).

Thanks for any help ,

Don Corey

Anthony makes tremendous use of his flanger. All the Eyewitness stuff is laden at various points with this great color, set with a wide, slow flange, which he uses in a seemingly "orchestral" way, as punctuation and to delineate sections. It's been a part of his trademark sound for decades.

I know he used the old TC Electronics chorus/flanger stomp box for a while.

Def a flanger. I think the original effect back in the day was a modified phaser.
