Does any anyone know what vocal effect they are using on the spoken part of 'Pepper', cos I love it and am looking to use it for a song we've written. Thanks.

Bandpass EQ and delay.

Also, the actor who played Ponch in Chips is in the video.

Half of these sound like rappers. (snoball), Tuesday, 12 March 2013 12:04 (thirteen years ago)

Feel like there's some light overdrive on there as well, maybe?

So it's Bandpass EQ and delay with some light overdrive?

I'd go with that. Maybe a very small amount of reverb as well.

Gibby got a similar effect on 'Mexican Caravan' by singing through a toilet paper tube
