Studio Equipment used by John Frusciante on Dani California
Deltalab Effectron II ADM 1024
Avg price: $250.00
Used on Stadium Arcadium, particularly on the tracks "Dani California" and "She's Only 18", as stated by Frusciante in this Guitar Player interview.
"Dani California" I played the original solo when we recorded the basic tracks, and then doubled it later, except for the super-fast wah part at the end, which was too difficult to double perfectly, so I put that section through a Delta Labs Effectron II digital delay set to a quick delay with just a touch of slow modulation.
(...) “She's Only 18” The delay effect on the verses and solo were inspired by Hendrix’s “If 6 Were 9.” They were processed with the Effectron II, set to a quick delay with a little bit of modulation to provide movement. The engineer also created a really good backwards reverb for the vocals on the choruses.
