Ian Peres effects on Cosmic Egg?

I haven't listened to it yet but I have seen them play live in a very tiny venue with the new line up. The only pedals I saw were on top of his keyboard, not sure he used any on bass, just Jazz -> 2 SVTs! The keyboard setup seemed to be a clone of Chris Ross's setup, and I think he used an English Muff'n overdrive pedal at least... Plus an old Memory Man delay for self ocillation swoops.
 
Listened to it last night - definitely some overdrive/distortion/fuzz (or mega cranked tube amp) on some tracks, plus a N.I.B. inspired wah intro to one of the tracks... If you Google Ian Peres you get his Facebook page, so you could try and be his 'friend' and ask him yourself!
 
I just came across this thread via google search on the subject. ;) I love the sound he has in the studio & live.

Here's a link to an article on Wolfmother from Mixonline.com, with a section about Ian Peres' setup (live setup at least)...

According to drum/bass/keyboard tech Judd Kalish, Peres plays a Fender 1962 reissue bass through an Ampeg SVT VR head and an 8x10. Keyboards are a Korg CX-3 and Rhodes piano. “For bass guitar, I use a Korg Pitchblack chromatic tuner, a Dimebag Darell wah pedal, a Way Huge Swollen Pickle distortion pedal and an Electro Harmonix English Muff'n pedal,” Kalish says. The CX-3 sees an original Electro Harmonix Memory Man Deluxe delay pedal. “For the Rhodes, I use a Crowther Audio Hotcake distortion pedal and an Electro Harmonix reissue Memory Man pedal.”

Hope that helps.
 
I don't know what effect he did use, but you can write on his wall :hiding: , and ask him about the effect used :). He's being nice with ppl who ask him about music. He 's a great guy, good luck , cheers. xx
 
Not to bump a zombie here, but I never took Ian as a Malekko guy. :ninja:
