Hi,

this recurring 2 notes throughout this track, e,g, it comes in at 42 seconds , sounds like a primitive e-bow. Any idea how i can replicate that sound in a DAW? I have a guitar.

Cheers

An electric guitar is basically a triangle wave, so I'd find a synth that has one, most do, and then something that does good guitar distortion. There are free versions of Amplitube and Tonex for distortion. Experiment with a medium to long attack.

That part on that song is nothing but a volume pedal, or turning the volume knob on the guitar. You can easily do it with or without a DAW.

But it's guitar through a reverb amp?

This effect was created by use of a volume pedal (or volume knob with more accomplished guitarists). Not an e-bow, but simply play the chord/note with volume off and bringing up after the attack. So any synth program could replicate the effect either with ADSR or use of the MIDI volume CC.

Ha!, previous poster was too quick for me!

Get that new Swello from Electro Harmonix.

Around the same time Dave Berry released legendary single, "The Crying Game" generally thought to feature the first guitar wah effect?

Apparently the guitar effect used by Big Jim Sullivan was not actually a wah wah pedal but a De Armond volume pedal.

As has been said:

The Lovin' Spoonful's "Daydream" features a honky-tonk piano played by Steve Boone, four different guitars, and spoons played by Joe Butler. The guitars, some with unique textures, were arranged in a layered, "Beatlesque" style, with one guitar utilizing a volume-control pedal.

Cool they can make it sound like an autoharp. Also, quite noticeable panning.

The autoharp sound is an autoharp.
