Norah Jones' Effects Pedals
In a live performance photo, Norah Jones is seen using the Boss OD-3 OverDrive pedal, indicating her preference for a light overdrive effect during shows.
Used on Jones' vocals for The Fall, as stated by producer Jacquire King in this February 1, 2010 Electronic Musician interview with Jones, Jacquire King and assistant engineer Brad Bivens.
She was into adding delay on her voice, trying not to just make it pretty with reverb. The delays were both analog and plug-in. I use Audio Ease Altiverb, SoundToys EchoBoy delay, some of the UA plug-ins—they have a nice EMT 140 emulation—and the Cooper Time Cube Delay. We used The Magic Shop’s Marshall Tape Eliminator AR-300, a tape slap simulator. And Norah had an old Ibanez analog delay. We used a Roland Chorus Echo and EMT 140 plate reverbs, too. Sometimes I will use an Eventide H3000 for harmonic delay effects, and as I get them going I will print them in Pro Tools with the transfer from analog.
It was also used on the album's respective tour, albeit for Jones' Wurlitzer 200A, as stated by tech Kelly Macaulay {who specifies the Keely mod) and keyboard, guitar and drum tech Futz in this July 9, 2010 Mix Online article.
According to tech Kelly Macaulay, Jones also plays a Wurlitzer 200 that is run through a Sans Amp Classic to get the overdriven sound into a Keeley-modified Ibanez analog delay pedal into her Vox Pathfinder 15R amp. (...) “We also have a stock ’70s Wurlitzer 200A electric piano going through a Boss BD-2 Blues Driver (for extra crunch) and an Ibanez AD-9 analog delay before going to the bass input of the Fender Bassman,” says Futz.
It is also visible in this photo from this February 2, 2010 Front of House Magazine article and this 2010 live performance.
It can be confused with a Tremolo effect, but Norah actually uses a delay pedal, in "short" delay setting, to add a bit of vibe, and resemble the 60s guitar sound.
