Can anyone give any examples of the phaser settings Bobby used on any given songs? I mean any songs. I guess it's that "the more you know" thing. I just wanna know more and if anyone can help I'd be really appreciate it. Thanks!

Oh and the "O" I couldn't think of was Orban- but it was a reverb unit. From the GD Newsletter:
edit: like on Dark Star with those awesome rhythm fills, soo smooth.
Bob currently plays a Gibson 335 guitar. He uses such special instruments as an Eventide Clockwork Digital Delay unit for repeating notes and creating an echo-like delay of different sound colorations and textures. A Eventide Clockwork work phaser system, an Orban/Parasound studio reverberation unit. Another accessory is an Alembic Parametric Equalizer (a flexible tone circuit) which gives him complete control of frequency responses by enabling boost or cut adjustments at any or all of three band-widths. The sharpness of the boost or cut can also be controlledBy Oct 1974, in Bruce Polonsky's Winterland pics you can see Bob plugged into what looks like a Foxx Foot Phaser, which by the way can be set for a controlled sweep.
