Which effects does Johnny use for this song? Is it like overdrive with a wahwah?

The main riff is just a telecaster into a cranked Vox AC30 amplifier and him doing some dramatic bends/tremolo

The solo/noise section at the end could be a few things..seems like the amp is just cranked and probably pushed with some sort of overdrive.. if ANY effect it's some sort of fuzz, possibly with octave content though set low (which seems likely as the harmonic content is high).

edit: I had to relisten on a ghetto youtube copy, I'll check it out later w/ headphones and let you know for sure but I think I'm right.

All I had to do was see the topic and I knew Platypus would be all over this.

That sounds like classic Marshall style crunch...he's probably using a Jackhammer or a Guv'nor, something like that. Might be on top of an overdrive too.

(I'm a gear head :D )
