For the longest I've wondered how the regenerative echo effect was created for the guitar part played at :46 into the song and pans around the stereo image. Any ideas or actual ways it was done?

Uh what song

"Song Against Itsself" by Shellac

yes, thank you very much Chris

Bob discussed this once on the Shellac list. The first series of echos which are fading out, is just a delay applied to the guitar. The fading in echos are a delay applied to the guitar while running the tape backwards.

It's fun having a tape machine that will operate backwards.

that makes perfect sense, thanks for the answer!
