I've got the chords worked out for "Night Fever," but can't figure out what effects pedals are being used. Assume a "wah-wah" is involved, but "what else?" Also, is one guitar playing just chords and another guitar providing the effects?" Would appreciate any assistance as our group would like to incorporate the song into our playlist. Jim C.

Sounds like one guitar is playing that 1/16th note funky part with the wah. Then another clean guitar enters playing upbeat staccato chord stabs. When the vocals enter the clean guitar hits long held chords with a little drive & sustain. In the post-chorus section the wah guitar changes to slow sweeping instead of wah-ka-wah-ka.
So you can probably do it with 2 guitars. The wah guitar & the other guitar switching between clean staccato chord stabs & engaging a slight overdrive (or turn up the volume) then back down for the clean sections.
There is quite a bit of swirly, sweeping sound from a synth or two. And of course the string section. So you might want to use a chorus or phaser on the clean guitar to mimic those timbres for those sections.

Really a suitable topic for newbies. I started interacting with the music and also encountered a situation where the piano was wrong. Your shares provide a good source of data to learn quickly and accurately. basketbros
