[lovethehorrors]

1:57 what's the effect he use??

[coverbart]

@lovethehorrors tremolo?

[lovethehorrors]

@coverbart which one? any idea?

[coverbart]

@lovethehorrors It might be Demeter Tremulator (mono version)

[lovethehorrors]

@coverbart thank you.

[thommytaranto]

AndiAFC says: shit boring gay

I say, are you a fucking follower of gaga or something, this is the real shit and by the way, i fucked ur mom

[greenshoes43]

is jack white playing a theremin at the beginnning of floating?

[PwnageGravy]

@greenshoes43 That or summoning cosmic rays through his amp. Neither one would surprise me.

[AndiAFC]

shit boring gay

[teasey21]

@AndiAFC yes... yes you are!

[frankcarty]

best band of the weekend

[wyliexc]

I didnt know that this was a cover until just now

[Kamil17G]

@The3rdMugician As I've said I've checked those pedals and I believe that you're absolutely correct... What a ingenious usage of those

[Kamil17G]

@The3rdMugician thanks mate! truly it sounds fucking sick. I've heard that sound in a lot of his solos but not to such extent... I thought that it was mix of some crazy shit pedals put together with the max of their level. I've checked out a digitech whammy in a music shop and it was awesome but I didn't know how he gets this crazy fast and quick tremolos, and... ohh unfortunately I am even unable to describe them :P So in conclusion thanks a lot! Asap I will find some reviews on these pedals.

[patrickleydon]

@Kamil17G im pretty sure the tremolo is a ZVEX Tremolo Probe (possiblely modifidied), probe series very trippy but very expensive cus there all hand made and high quality electronics etc

They use a theremin antenna to detect your foot, or hand in Jack Whites case, and switch on/off effect.

And id say the rotovibe sound is the Hammond Organ playing over the riff.

Cool stuff, really have a unique sound.

[The3rdMugician]

@patrickleydon the zvex is on his amp. Actually there are 2. They interupt his guitar singnal and his copperphone signal. (the copper microphone he sometimes sings into) the tremolo in the selected section is two fast and persistant for it to be the probe. But he uses the absolute shit out of that probe. And Mark uses a moog little phatty and fender rhodes not a hammond. However the rotation could be a leslie speaker which could be ran with the combo organs but like the hammond used! but IDK.LOL

[Kamil17G]

WTF is going on with their guitar sound at 1:55 ?! If it's an effect I need to know what it's called. It's fucking awesome

[The3rdMugician]

@Kamil17G that my freind is extremely choppy tremolo. jack uses a tremulator made by demeter on his board. all his super fast tremolo in his racs solos comes right from that pedal being put up full blast. listen to the studio version of the switch and the spur and u can hear it for a about 3 seconds at the beginning of the solo. good stuff man. its a 200 dollar pedal. I have a Pulsar from EHX that does the same thing

[The3rdMugician]

@Kamil17G listening again it also sounds like jack my have his dunlop rotovibe on as well. maybe. the pair togeather sounds fuckin sick!!!

[The3rdMugician]

@Kamil17G dood iv listen to this thing 8 times! IT ALSO SOUNDS LIKE A PHASER IS ON IT!!! DAMN YOU JACK WHITE YOU INGENIOUS BASTARD YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KATE24211]

[Vavfaf]

brendan benson <3<3

[Lynx1525]

First time I heard "Floating" was on a skate video... One of my favourite songs.

[rebellferhan]

anyone know which guitar jack white is using in this video?

[MuddleHead33]

a custom made gretsch triple jet

"For the Raconteurs, he designed a Gretsch clone, which he has dubbed the Triple Jet. It is a double-cutaway Duo Jet with a pickup booster (which appears as a third, middle pickup), and features a solid copper top. It also has a Gretsch logo that was only used on a few guitars in 1912. However, the guitar is not a factory Grestch, as it was built by luthier Randy Parsons of Seattle."

[lolar05]

jack white is fucken kick ass

[titatho]

keeler is the best, damn... I would give everything to talk a few minutes with that guys

[dangerousdeadlydave]

Patrick Keeler is such a shredder

[freshbreaker]

Ha, the drummer wasnt following Jacks cue at 3:30.>JB

[muiris]

he was pressing an effects thing

[freshbreaker]

True that.>JB

[thekillers1293]

I think the effect he's pressing on is the Zvex Tremolo Probe if i'm correct.

[a0rzel]

Looks like the volume control from a Theremin. Something like that?

[xModGodx]

he is look closely hes playing on the up-beat

[kelevator9]

he wasnt cue'ing the drummer, he was manipulating a wah pedal on top of the amp to get that guitar sound

[jameszeppelin]

Patrick Keeler is such an amazing drummer! well.... the whole band are amazing to be honest

[rollingrockbrew]

they need a live dvd

[qba95]

youre damn right ;)

[frankcarty]

what an idea! it would be up there with HAARP and how the west was won

[STEVENABROWNE]

Mayyyybe not How The West Was Won but it sure would be amazing.

[5sagen5]

@rollingrockbrew they do but they are limited edition stuff i have one.

[CodyT3212]

brilliant! i never thought theyd play Floating again! its so relaxing and warm.....i love it when the racs play that juicy slice of tastiness.

[siltirocker]

Holy shit, , ,that's Jape's 'Floatin''! Cool!

[LupinLoverGuitarist]

The Raconteurs=On a level of their own.

Pure genius.

x

[ihavesixfeet]

this is so scary good!even scarier when i was there standing in front of BB.

[jetsetter332]

Holy crap the filming of this is so freaking intense...plus a dose of Eastern-flavoured Floating...oh man it's incredible. Jack sounds great, by the way. As does BB.

[shitzzo85]

what rich kid has the blues tho?

[cityairlines]

Forgot to say check out Terry Reid's original... He's amazing too. Love the breakdown these guys throw in... perfect to fire up a joint.

[cityairlines]

Perfect! Thanks for uploading this... I still think Jack sounds amazing despite the comments. One of the best bands right now!

[nclnrcc]

fuck, jacks voice sounds like crap on this one... smoking is killing hes wonderful voice

[nivek0270]

plus i this some songs r just out of his range anymore.

[imafoolhahaha]

so its smoking thats doing this shit?his voice has slowly been diminishing over the years and i never knew why until now

[asdlkjklsdf]

This show was late in the tour; that's the main reason. He quit smoking after Elephant.

[jennfoster]

jack's voice sounds like it's hurting.

:[[

he will always be the greatest, though; regardless. <33

[chipchapchip47]

if they would have broke out floating like at leeds last year, it would have been epic
