Listening to Internet radio as I work, this number from Andy J Forest came on with IMO a tasteful use of a rotary speaker effect. If it's not that then someone will correct me I'm sure. Anyway, I like it.

I could very easily be wrong, but I'm not so sure we can identify that as rotary. If we were in a room and could get it in stereo, then it might very well be rotary, but I have a Peavey amp with a phaser and reverb that will make that sound. I think you can get it with tremolo and some delay too.

I have invested a lot of time with effects that could have been better spent just practicing. I have never come up with anything I wanted to use in public, but I appreciate it when I hear someone else use them.

It sounds like chorus to me. Nice use of whatever effect it is!

Shakeylee - thanks, it would be interesting to know. But I'm not after recreating it, it just caught my ear. I think it's a lovely sound. I expect it's a mix of what he's doing acoustically and whatever effect that does the magic.

Check out the long notes after about 55s, that's a great electric keyboard sort of thing.

Thank you so much. And wow I've just been listening to the rest of the album Deep Down Under (In the Bywater). What a fantastic, diverse range of harmonica tones in there. Needs more careful listening but for instance the biting intro on the opening track 'We Win'. There's traditional and modern all together. Very glad to have discovered this.
