Im wondering how tim gets that violin sounding effect on the guitar, like on entity or the solo for #41. I read in other threads that he uses a volume pedal with the dd-5 to obtain this, but on his chaos view dvd, the last song he plays a song with this sonund in it, and it does not appear that he is using any kind of volume pedal, or a pedal at all. is there a technique or how do you do this. Thanks. |

You're correct on the usage of the volume pedal for the swells. As far as the delay setting, on the DD-5 it goes like this:
For a short delay, more like a reverb:
E. Level: About 2 O'Clock F.Back: 12 O'Clock D.Time: Max Mode: 1
For a longer delay, a delay time he uses for A LOT of solos and such with Dave Matthews:
E. Level: About 2 O'Clock F.Back: 12 O'Clock D.Time: Max Mode: 3
You can turn the E. Level up and down to suit your needs, but these settings usually get me where I have to go.
Also, for those volume "violin" swells, you may want to look into a reverb pedal. The Holy Grail Reverb from Electro Harmonix is a great one. Reverb is killer for the violin like sound.

So, i have a dd-5 and im gettng a volume pedal soon. So what settings do i need the dd-5 at and what do i do with the volume pedal to execute this sound? I assume i have the volume off, pick a note and swell up after the pick to give that sound. Is this correct??

What you are talking about is the volume pedal, but on Lift on Chaos View he is using the volume knob on the tele to do the same thing. |

he uses a digitech whammy to do that, two octaves up. |
