Any ideas what effects were used for Sussudio?

Yes here in the UK we were all sooooooo upset that the Tory drummer was quitting music (like he's not said this a million times before).
Crying they were.
Crying tears of Joy ;)
 
From David Frank, the keyboard player/programmer on the album:

"The sussudio bass sound was 2 tracks of minimoog sequenced on a oberheim dsx sequencer. Not midi.. .control voltage/gate. First we recorded a sound with lots of bottom without any resonance on the filter.the other track was lots of resonance+ super fast decay on the filter envelope. I arranged the wholesong,except the horns and guitar in a little room in townhouse studio while Phil was working on other songs for the album. The horn line of course was derived from the bass line."
