I'm struggling to identify early effects used my Mr. Weir. Is it safe to assume that somewhere in the mid 70s he likely just had a wah pedal since I believe I hear a sorta "parked wah" sound like in Scarlet / Fire?

some sort of phase w/ the speed turned way down. Think those throbbing opening chords to Jack Straw, BTWind, LL Rain etc. He was using a phase 100 in '76.
Honest to the point of recklessness.

(btw, it's almost impossible not to jump on the double entendres of turning down speed and throbbing)
yeah, the only way I could have gayed this thread up anymore is if I typed it in pink.
fabulous!

I'll chip in here and say that when I saw them at the Cap Theater in Passaic in '77, I do not remember any pedals for Bob. None. Nothing in front of him at any rate. I was pretty darn close in a small theater. Jerry had a couple and not used too much. The wah, I saw Jerry park on some tunes but not *really* rock the pedal. Maybe searching for that sound that he eventually got from the Mutron?
I am vaguely thinking that maybe in '78 or so Bob started having a couple pedals. He never had many. Trying to remember if he ever parked a wah and I can't picture it. Maybe just not at my shows, which were pretty much one, maybe two a year.
Not much to offer here and fuzzy memories at best. But I guess they are the best.

I think in the very early 70s he might have had some Eventide boxes. You can hear some flange/chorus things going in '73/74 jams.
