      its funny cause there's another one that Johnny supposedly uses which is called the Tomkat day dreamer and it has a "hold for free fall button" so maybe that's the fallen sky lyric idk? maybe those lyrics are actually about Johnny messing it up and blaming it on his pedals😂. He also uses the space echo so maybe that's the "satellite" idk tho. that'd be crazy.

    Lots of great sounds in here, some close and some further approximations. I didn't find the Blackstar pedal pleasing at all, but I wouldn't pass judgement until trying one in person. Hunting bears was very impressive, and I suppose for Bodysnatchers the Colour Box is as close as you'll get since that riff was recorded direct in to a console.

    Maybe you're just not a fan of it but the Boss TE-2 Tera Echo was essentially designed to get Radiohead-like sounds. Yeah, you can do more with a Space Echo paired with another delay attached, but really if your only concern is being able to play OK Computer era Radiohead you'll save a bunch of cash going for the TE-2.

    I've been watching a few of your 'pairings' videos and I'm ont sure if your chain goes 'left to right' or 'right to left'? The inputs/outputs on pedals would always imply 'right to left'. If this is the case its interesting as it implies Radiohead often reverb first in the chain, as I would expect most players to put reverb and delay after drive and modulation.

    I think Hunting Bears sound more badass than the original recording

    Im interested in how Johnny gets to a sound that is loud but kind go slurred and expresses the pressed notes while blocking the blocked out notes from making a scratchy sound. Like his parts in Fake plastic trees and creep where he uses the 2nd and 4th strings and rides them up the fret while strumming really fast creating a cool background accent type thing behind the regular chords that ed and Thom are playing. If anyone can help me with that that'd be nice😂 sorry that its really awfully explained and specific.

    You really need the digitech whammy on subterranean homesick alien to nail that tone

    Anyone know how the ending of Blowout was achieved, Im definitely aware of it being some sort of reverb wash but how exactly

      Apparently Ed was rubbing a coin on the low e and b string with some sorta reverse reverb on it
