What is it that Andy Summers used? That Pete Townsend used? |
|
I mean, what guitar effect(s) did Andy Summers used for that "wash" sound in the Police?
That Pete Townsend used for that wah-wah/talkbox sound in "The Relay"?

You're probably thinking about a chorus pedal, although I'm not sure what you mean by a "wash" sound

3. I hear it like a "wash" of chords |
|
I've always heard his chord-playing as a "watery-sounding" or tapestry "washing" sound. He makes the chord kind of linger and flutter.

2. Straight from Andy's lips to me: |
|
A compression pedal and a chorus pedal. And, of course, a Fender Telecaster. That is about it, most of the time.
Tele-->Compression-->Chorus.
