hawtin effects

[vip32]

Does anyone know what kind of effects mr hawtin uses in his live sets. Maybe you've heard the timewarp set, he uses them a lot there. Specially the one which makes a really metalic sound with harsh delays. I'm using ableton live to reproduce something like that, but no success yet.

I know he uses a vst in ableton combined with some other effect,
you can download a demo version of Lexicon PSP 42 from this link:

I think he was using an electrix repeater at one point but I'm not sure if that's the one you want for the delay fx.

hasn't used that in forever, since the cycloops (now peavey grabber) came out. it never worked right anyway.
the delay used is the previously mentioned psp plug.

I'm quite sure (atleast from his hardware days) that he was using an ensoniq dp4 effect unit... (with the rather known phaser) ... extremly flexible unit, you can program your reverb for example that the more higher the input gets, the more it increases the decay time and such things. a bit gritty sound, but we all enjoy that don't we?

Don't forget he also uses it in combination with the awsome Allen & Heath analogue filters (in his mixer).
Sometimes he uses them at the same moment.

for Ableton users:
I use the A&H filters myself in combination with the ping-pong delay from Ableton.
It might not sound the same, but it sounds pretty cool

Hawtin indeed uses the Lexicon PSP 42

wow.. this is the silliest topic post in a long time

fx are fx. there is no one package that totally stands out from the rest... build from what you have... have a couple nice plugins and/or an external processor and have fun.
