“How did they make that sound” thread

[Aentons]

I believe that clip above is from around '93 (it is, it says so in the title, duh), so could be before he started using the DHP-55, but he apparently did use it on Today....

spfc.org : equipment : Digitech DHP-55 Harmony Processor

Digitech DHP-55 Five Part Digital Harmony Processor. Used by Billy Corgan on the 1995-1997 Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness album and tour. The unit includes Billy Corgan's settings for the following songs: Hummer, Cherub Rock, Drown, Soma, Rocket, and Today. The unit has been kept in a smoke-free studio environment. No cables or manuals are included. A certificate of authenticity will be included. Unit is sold "as is".

This is what I hear repeated thru the intro. It's not anywhere else in the song. I don't think an analog octave down could accomplish that. It sounds like one of these digital harmonizers was programmed on a note by note basis to output this melody. Crazy stuff.
