Omg, awsome effects, put what is it?

I'm only a minute in, but here's my estimation.

Lead part is a slow gear and whammy effect (probably oct up), plus some delay and heavy reverb to make lovely whale type noises, that I (and more famously, Justin Chancellor) like to make.

Background is probably a more conventional synth with a massive delay on it. Basically it just rocks up the envelope up slowly, which is then repeated quickly. I think the boss does that type of synth so I'd imagine that is what is causing it, but I know very little.

Now just imagine something like that being played between songs in a set...that would create one hell of an atmosphere.

[Edit] Single pedal wise, the minimum is probably a whammy, synth and delay. And of course a looper or recording equipment.
 
hmm, i wonder why i didnt catch this thread long time ago haha. If anyone is still interested. Yeah, the synth sound is actually just a loop i did with distortion and wah and looped it on the gt6b. And everyone on here is basically right. on the GT6B, i have the Slow gear setting on and the whammy i put it an octave up. I got a tape echo,reverb,flanger and distortion running as well. Those are from the Line 6 POD X3. I haven't used this sound in a while cause i really want to try to recreate it on stompboxes instead of multi-effects pedals.
