Throw the track into audacity. Go to effects. Find the "vocal reduction and isolation" effect and set it to remove the center (don't use the actual vocal remover/isolator, it's useless. Only use remove or isolate center). It only takes a minute. You can also remove the side channels and do a bunch of other things. It's interesting on some songs.
Kevin played the part through an SPX90 or a Midiverb 2 and then reamped it through a JCM 800 and pitched the tape speed up. That’s at least what I read in an interview. What I described could be one track of that guitar sound with the original reverse reverb layered on top of that.
Darren Cotta That's correct except for the tape pitch part. I've never heard of that. They did, however, slow the tapes down, sing the vocals, then speed them back up to normal in order to create a unique vocal sound. This technique is called "varispeed". This is why Kevin sounds particularly high pitch on When You Sleep. It was used on other songs too, if not most songs on Loveless, as Kevin mentioned and you can kinda hear. This video simply removed everything from the center channel. Only the panned/stereo portions of the song can be heard. Doesn't have much to do with the effects, except for the stereo effects which would remain audible if the center channel is removed.
Yeah you’re right, it was actually “All I Need” that they pitched the guitar parts up towards the end of the song. Just read that all in one take one night with very little sleep.
Did this song come to him in a vision dude how the fuck
Love Kevin’s microtonal tremolo bar work, the pitches never actually hit the half-tone below the notes
shit 's cray
How did you achieve this
Very carefully.

@@JulianA-tr6pt It's the "Center Channel Extractor" in Audition, Effects->Stereo Imagery. Incredibly powerful.
@@henrybent7508 Yeah that would also achieve it. I've used it on lots of music to see how it sounds.
Broken headphones (or with the jack halfway out) will also get you this sound
ok but those are not instruments , that's just high frequencies like high pitch sounds right?
It's a reverse reverb effect put through distortion and probably a high octave too.
