What's your favorite musical effect?
jackmort:
I'm a big fan of the Leslie cabinet
One of the best known examples of it's use would be Tomorrow Never Knows by the Beatles
Basically it spins a speaker on a turntable to create a Doppler effect

The Leslie effect is growing on me. Do you know if the Black Keys used a real Leslie on Hard Row (Thickfreakness album) or was it simulated? Because if it was simulated, it was a very good one.

RJD2 discusses Leslie speakers starting near 4:25 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3_cK3pL7SM

Cheers for the link
I doubt if anyone's used a real Leslie cabinet for a decade or more, I think almost all effects are done digitally these days. Shame
David_Dovey:
I am all about delay, particularly long, in-tempo delays that go on for just about forever. Think "Us or Them" or "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd. I pretty much think any vocal take would sound better with that on it. It's an actual struggle to stop myself from doing exactly that on every vocal part I record, whether it's actually appropriate or not.
