Andy Bell

According to Guitar Geek's rig diagram, this is one of the pedals he used in 1996.

"Eventide Time Factor. Another posh delay unit. I use this one purely for its backwards setting. It takes some getting used to but when it’s set up as above, you play in a few seconds of guitar (which you don’t hear) and then it feeds it back to you reversed. With a bit of practise you can appear to play backwards in real time. (Gem used to do this with an earlier pedal made by Line 6 in the Oasis era)."

"60’s Trem. Simple and great."

“I’d be going through the rig but it wasn’t so much the GP-16 now. Before the amp, I’d be feeding from the H3000 Ultra Harmonizer in the control room, which is the Eventide studio rack effect that Alan was really big on. It made everything sound really - for want of a better word - epic! It had really great algorithms of reverbs and delays together and things that change within themselves after the notes finish. Live, we were still using the GP-16s until the end.”

In a feature by Premier Guitar, Andy Bell of Ride is noted to use the Boss TU-3 Chromatic Tuner as part of his gear lineup.

This processor was used in studio only, according to Guitar Geek's rig diagram.

Andy Bell uses the Boss DD-3 Digital Delay, as detailed on his official website under "My Guitar Rig."

"A quick lowdown on what’s changed: Replaced the Wah with a Buddy Guy signature model, which has a better (fuller) sound. "

"Yeah, the first time around I was using a Boss DS-1 Distortion, a Cry Baby wah, and a rackmount Roland GP-16 to handle all of the rest of the sounds."
