Bands who have successfully used the Digitech Auto-Ya-Ya effect
???
I have always used Digitech multi-effects, they are decent sound for the price, wide range of effects etc etc.. but Digitech has this stupid effect, the Auto-Ya-Ya which sounds like a voice going "yah-yah-yah" to the guitar signal.. the fucking thing is entirely unmusical and I have never figured out what to do with it. The only bands I have heard use it to any good is RATM (it is Tom Morello fav) on Battle For Los Angeles (Calm Like a Bomband TOOL on 10,000 Days ( Vicarious [probably the most effective use of the Auto-Ya-Ya i have heard yet..] ) any other good demonstrations of this effect y'all know of? |
beginning of the diamond sea?

no, thats an envelope filter (as used commonly by Hendrix or Jerry Garcia) also called an 'auto-wah' the auto-ya-ya from digitech is the same kind of thing, but it doesn't pick up on the striking dynamics as an envelope filter. It strictly modulates the notes being played themselves. but I can't see anything musical about it. The Envelope Filter I use constantly (after all I am a deadhead) and I am in love with it for Reggae lead guitar, I only use my 'wah' pedal on reggae rhythms to add to the 'ka-chank' melody (the wah adds a kind of swooshing sound) but the Auto-Ya-Ya is always pointless to me.. That guitar solo on TOOL "vicarious" is the only true musical thing I have heard, and it just sounds like a distorted human voice.. |
I had a digitech bass synth pedal with that stupid sound...sounds like some shit Korn or Limp Bizkit would use.

but do you think TOOL used to properly in vicarious or is it utterly useless? |
I created an account just to respond to this thread. Check out Buckethead's "Buried Deep Stay Buried Still." Great use of a yaya in the main rhythm riff.

You're a deadhead? I didn't know that. I knew you were a "card carrying Rastafari" and an OG gangsta rap fiend, but I didnt think anyone on SYG was very into the Dead. I wouldn't call myself a deadhead per se, but I have a 120 cd wallet of shows (most of them just CD-R's, few true boots) and their studio albums. Cool. This is a good thing. :) |
I have 15gigs of Dead shows and the only studio album I can tolerate is Anthem To The Sun.. me and Lee have had some great chats about the Dead yo

I dabble. Somewhere a long way back I did a longish post comparing and contrasting Dark Star and The Diamond Sea, and fantasizing about a Star/Sea supermix ala Greyfolded. I tend to concentrate on late 60's through early 70's and have only just recently aquired a taste for other Dead eras. I was excited to see that Martin Scorsese is exec producing a Dead rock doc: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertain...icle-1.1985857 I can be of no help with your tasteful auto-ya-ya quest. |
Yes, hirsute you actually sent me greyfolded at the time of that thread
