As for effects, says Kevin, "There's no chorusing or anything like that. But there's one very definite effect that I do use, and that's reverse reverb, mostly on a Yamaha SPX90. It inverts a normal reverb envelope without making the notes backwards. There are certain settings I use that, along with the way I have the tone of the guitar set up, create a totally melted sort of liquid sound. I don't use any of the original, dry guitar signal; it's purely the reverb. When I use that sort of effect on guitar, that means there's one guitar on the track. A song like 'Soon' has got three guitars. But the bulk of the sound is just from one guitar."
