In this interview by Reverb.com, Will Sergeant mentioned that used a Electro-Harmonix EH-5200 Attack Decay >For reverse guitar effects, I’d use a great little pedal from Electro-Harmonix called an Attack Decay. I’d set it to fade in and then come to a dead stop. To make it sound like reversed guitar, I’d have to time it just right.
