Using what I had available to me, I discovered what sounds a lot like that delay/dist/phase thing Incubus does (such as in the beginning of “Nice to Know You”, “Warning”, “Pardon Me”, etc.)

I use a Behringer combo and have a Korg Toneworks effects pedal. So, my variables are kind of screwed up, but I put them into fractions. So, if you have a need for this effect, feel free to do the math and set your equipment for it.

I used my CLEAN effect on the Toneworks pedal with a PHASER. The speed of the phaser is 14/30. My clean tone consists of:

COMPRESSION: 5/30
LOW: 14/15
MID FREQUENCY: 3/3
MID: 5/15
HIGH: 15/15

I then used the effects on my Behringer on top of this. These go as follows:

OVERDRIVE: 4/10
MORPHING: 2/10 (You may not have this option based on your amp. Some tweaking may be needed if not)

MID BOOST: On (once again, you may not have this option)
PRESENCE: 10/10
BASS: 10/10
MID: 10/10
TREBLE: 10/10
DELAY - Speed: 35/63
Decay: 35/63
Clarity: 50/50

I set my pickup at the middle single-coil. That seems work best for this effect and my guitar, but, as your's may be different, you may wish to do something else.

Later!
