The circuit has a built in volume dive that no other pedal has. It is the one with the huge sweep and a phaser-like or synth-like second effect that tracks with the first wah tone. You can tell a Parapedal when you hear one. I don't know if it's the same pedal that Mr Foxen was referring to, but Chicago Iron market a clone of it called the Parachute.Ĭhicago Iron has painstakingly re-engineered the famous 1970's Tycobrahe Parapedal circuit with exacting detail and precision. Although it was referred to as a 'wah' pedal, it was a bit more than that and didn't work or sound quite like, say, Vox or Crybaby wahs. It was the Tychobrahe Parapedal that they used (unless I'm barking up the wrong tree). Geezer has mentioned in other interviews he used a Tychobrahe 'wah'. Unless it works really well I won't bother with it. There was lots of stuff on that - all those weird, bloody things that everybody thought were keyboards! It was bass! I tend to sort of try something and then once I've done it I really don' t go back to it - like the wah wah on "NIB," for instance.

I used that particularly on the Born Again album. It was like an experimental thing - I don't think they ever went on sale. I used to have this Yamaha pedalboard, I think they only made a few of them. GB: I don't use anything at all now except for a chorus pedal and a flanger, just in the Ozzy stuff.

Can you name some of the units you've used in the past and what you 're using now ? Q:You've always experimented with effects. I will be very interested to see if anyone else knows what really happened on that recording!Ĭarol Kaye came in and redid the bass track after Geezer left, then didn't tell him?
