Best use of effects...

In your opinion, which artists use which effects the
best...(subjective matter I know).

I vote Plaid for reverb on synth lines/melodies or aphex for
the odd reverbed drum snare.

Telex for vocoder:'Moskow Diskow'

Any opinions on other effects..Pitch Modulation..tight
delay..?

um.

IDM is 75% effects. Naming one person would be pointless.

this may be a dumb quesiont, but; is there an IDM artist who
doesn't use effect?

particular instances though.....

Squarepusher often makes flangey effects turn melodies and
synths into other-worldly rythmns:

- vic acid ep
- melanic, off UV
- district line 2

he's not afraid to release the raw power ofthe effect i
reckon.

I know but they use them in different ways and some stand
out more than others..no?

I just want some opinions or examples of what you think was
well used.

I dunno, probably some old dub. Aside from guitar distortion
in rock and roll, it's probably the only genre where use of
a particular effect (delay/reverb/echo) is really integral
to the sound.

agree with ceri, if it wasnt for multi tap delay, dub
wouldnt be dub.

They mainly used big spring reverb/echo boxes I believe, but
don't quote me on that.

That uses spring reverb as well as tape loops :P

Do you know of any good tutorials/online resources for
making dub?

It's something I've been interested in for a while, but I
can never get it quite "dubby" enough, always sounds like
reverbed hip hop :/

oh im not familiar with dub... i was quoting my music
teacher to a certain degree there... i think multi tap is a
legitimate way to achieve the dub sound as well tho.. maybe
