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.
Effects pedal(s) for Bee Gees "Night Fever)


The Bee Gees' guitar setup and effects pedals for "Night Fever" are detailed here.
Pedals for Effects:
Especially in the introduction and bridge, you can hear this wah-wah. That strange, almost speech-like noise is produced by it.
To give some rhythmic sections a little more warmth and motion, a slight phaser effect might be applied.
The rhythm guitar has a subtle overdrive for some gritty effect, although it's not quite as extreme as heavy distortion.

Here are some thoughts on the effects and guitar parts used for "Night Fever" by the Bee Gees:
Based on the recording, it seems like the main guitar parts likely utilize a combination of the following effects:
Wah-wah pedal - This is commonly used to create the signature "talking" guitar sound, sweeping through the frequency range.
Chorus/Flanger - These modulation effects can help thicken the guitar tone and create a shimmering, swooshing quality.
Overdrive/Distortion - Some light overdrive or distortion likely helps drive the guitar sound and make it stand out.
The guitar parts may be split between: slope
One guitar playing the main chord changes and rhythmic parts
Another guitar (or guitars) providing the more effects-drenched lead lines and melodic accents
The interplay between the rhythm and lead guitar parts helps create the full, dynamic sound of the song.

“Night Fever” uses a clean rhythm guitar for chords, while another guitar employs effects like a wah-wah pedal for a funky vibe. You might also hear a chorus or phaser effect for added texture. Splitting rhythm and effects across two guitars works well for authenticity.Block Blast
