Guitar players: do you have any advice on creating those marvellous effects that Prince uses at the Undertaker session? So far I got the info of several sites (sources). Like the equipment Prince used back in 1993 when he recorded the Undertaker session in Paisley Park (From guitar magazine):
- Alesis Quadraverb (Used for Reverb.)
- Roland GP16 with VCA expressionpedal (Used for Ring Modulation)
- Two Zoom 9030's working together to make sound patches.
- Colorsound Wah
- several Boss stompboxes

Any hints on creating the Undertaker sound? I got a far end when I use some chorus and auto-wah from my Boss multieffect board and feed it with a colorsound (70's!) wah. This is good for the wah-sounds for which also Prince uses his colorsound wah pedal (as can be seen from the video). At the Undertaker track I add some bending with my bending pedal of a Boss multieffect, but just a little bit. However, I am looking for that 'pillow talk(?)' sound: you can clearly hear it at the beginning of the Ride (or the title track). It's some setting in the 9030 Zooms:
Who can help me with some hints in creating that sound? Together with my Colorsound wah it must be that crazy sound that is used throughout the set.

I use a Cloud (Schecter) with EMG 81/SA pickups, Marshall 4x12"+ Marshall 100W head (transistor). Most effects I get from my Boss ME33 (instead of separate stomp boxes).

Cheers,

As far as I know, it's the Digitech Whammy that gives that typical undertaker sound...

I have a 9030 and it have that auto whammy/pitch shifter effect (like the solo during Bambi on the Undertaker video). In fact, Prince didn't customize the stock sound very much.

If I remember right, it's called WhoopsZgoose.
