Been listening to some of his solo stuff and The Police. Bit of an obvious question but what is the effect he uses on the main riff in Message in a Bottle? Is it a phaser a chorus or something else?

Electroharmonix Electric Mistress flanger

Are you sure Elliot? That's a very vague answer :lol:

:D The Electric Mistress is what Andy Summers used during the Police era for his chorus/phaser/flanger like effects - There is a page on the web that analyses his use of effects from old photos - he didn't use a chorus.
Wikipedia says this:
'The Electric Mistress Flanger was famously used by musician Andy Summers throughout his musical career, especially while he was/is in the band The Police. It's ethereal, spacious swirly sound is a key component in Summer's guitar tone, particularly songs such as Don't Stand so Close to Me, Walking on the Moon, Message in a Bottle and De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da.'
Its possible he is also using the chorus from the Roland JC120 on the studio version as well (which I think is the old Boss CE1 circuit).
Is that specific enough? :D

Not even close :lol:

I may well take a look at an Electric Mistress. My experience of EHX in the past has been that the pedals are very noisy. Maybe it was just a dodgy Double Muff.

Minx? She's got a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp!

Apologies all. Clearly I meant to say "Saucy little bulldog chewing a wasp". I have no attraction to this lady.
-
Maybe she is an electric mistress!

More of HOG I'd say...
Just hope she doesn't connect her White Finger and her Big Muff.
I think I better stop now.

Indeed it does. I think Andy Summers would be most put out if he knew a thread about him turned out this way.
-
I reckon he'd be walking on the moon myself :D

not quite on-topic but Police related all the same
I always laugh at Jimmy Carr talking about Sting:
"Sting is always boasting about his eight-hour tantric sex sessions with his wife, Trudie Styler,"
"Imagine how long he could keep it up if she was a looker."

... and speaking of Mr Summers...
