How did matt get this sound

This version of stockholm has a different tone from almost every other version. He appears to be using the internal fuzz probe but what else is going on in the signal? Also, during the solo, how does he get that really long phaser effect? And what wah effect has added on for the riff?

It's a wah probe that's built into that guitar, and he probably has it on for most of the song.

 

He's only really using it on the main intro riff and the breakdown. You see (and hear) him switch it off around the 1m mark when he hits that bend and back on somewhere around 3:56-57. Notice the difference in sound between the intro riff/breakdown and the riff going into the second verse where he doesn't switch it on.

No internal phaser on Blackie? Are you sure? :wtf:

 

In an interview with Guitar Player (July 2010) magazine, Matt explained that he does not use this guitar live very much due to it's weight and the fact that it's much louder than his other guitars. "The one I used the most on The Resistance is called “Black Ed.” It has a really amazing tone, but it’s extremely heavy, and it’s also louder than all of my other guitars, so it doesn’t quite work for performing live. It has a few gizmos in it, as well—a Z.Vex Wah Probe, a Z.Vex Fuzz Factory, and an MXR Phase 90."
