DeVito made pleasant use of a phaser backing up Emmy Lou, for example on Together again. Does anybody know what brand he used?

I'm pretty Hank used the Roland Space Chorus as his primary effect. Listen to his break on Emmy Lou's Light of The Stable cut. Great sound.

Thanks for the reply. Did you mean the Re 201/301 Roland tape based Space Echo?

I don't know about other songs, but on the studio version of "Together Again", it's the guitar that has the phaser on it. The steel sounds like it's double tracked during the solo.

The phaser on the guitar is probably an MXR Phase 90.
