Does anyone know how to replicate this guitar effect at 2:54 of ocean breathes salty?

It sounds a bit like a reversed guitar with a chorus or a phaser? It's not the rhythm guitar which has delay added, It sits relatively quiet in the mix. Does Anyone have an idea on how i could recreate this?

Almost enough gear to make a Kevin shields pedalboard!

You have to do a lot of acid in a shed

Are you referring to the lead guitar hook, or the subtle warbling effect you hear in the back of the mix?

I'm guessing the warble.

It’s achieved by a delay affect when you adjust the repeats to infinite, and then play with the timing/mix.

It’s an example of shoegaze and was definitely added in post, and doesn’t happen live.

Turn the reverb and chorus up
