Bob Dylan's Effects Pedals
Used for Dylan's vocals on "Things Have Changed", as mentioned by sound engineer Chris Shaw in this December 31, 2008 Electronic Musician article. It predates the XO version of the Graphic Fuzz.
“After we tracked the song ‘Things Have Changed,’ for The Wonder Boys soundtrack, Bob asked me for a quick mix,” Shaw recalls of his first session with Dylan. “I figured the final mix would be done by someone like Daniel Lanois. So I did a quick rough mix to DAT. Bob listened and said everything was too clear, too easy to pick out every instrument and note. He wanted to ‘mush’ it up.”
According to Shaw, Dylan employed a trick of his own for ensuring his vocal track was tailor made to sit perfectly in what would become a delightfully murky mix: running his vocal back through a guitar amplifier to exaggerate its natural asperity. Shaw took it one step further and placed an Electro-Harmonix Graphic Fuzz box in the signal chain (he also says that he ran the snare and the room mics through the unit as well). Nodding in approval, Dylan reached over and pushed the percussion track up nearly all the way, the shaker now a bayonet piercing the left side of the mix. “I thought, it’s just a reference mix and ran the DAT again,” says Shaw. “A couple of days later Jeff Rosen, Bob’s manager, called and asked me for the quarter-inch [tape] of the mix. I was stunned—it was just a rough mix, a very rough mix. Jeff said, ‘Oh, you don’t know Bob. That was the final mix.’ The DAT was the master. Two months later it was nominated for an Oscar for best song. Two months after that, it won the Oscar for best song.”
