Watching someone try an ebow this week got me thinking....what is your favourite guitar f/x or 'toy'??
I will start...for me, not really a toy but in the same sort of vein -
feedback. To control this in pitch and fit 'musically' into a song is
great fun!!!

Phenix Phe"nix, n.; pl. Phenixes. [L. phoenix, Gr. foi^nix.] [Written also ph[oe]nix.] (Gr. Myth.) A bird fabled to exist single, to be consumed by fire by its own act, and to rise again from its ashes. Hence, an emblem of immortality.
Of course inspired by Mr. Ron Thal, but the technique is more than just a 'trick'. It can be very useful!
I'm not a big effects guy, but reverse delay can make some funny sounds. But the real challenge is to make the guitar sound like it has reverse delay without actually having it!
