effects on chinos voice

[hi man]

So I love how chinos voice is and how the production of the songs are done. Its something about the effects on chinos voice that sounds so huge and awesome. But Im a noob when it comes to audio production. I really like the effects/or how the EQ was used on WP, DE and the new crosses song. I hear mixtures of delay, doubling, reverb maybe even some chorus effect? Does anyone have any guesses?

I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to music technology gear and software. It's not the specific album you asked info on but here is a quote from Ryan Williams who mixed most of Saturday Night Wrist.

"Prior to starting the first mix (Hole in the Earth) I was trying to figure out what I was going to do to make Chino's voice sound like he does on some of the other records. When working on the first mix, I quickly realized that I didn't have to do anything. It just sounds that way. There are extra harmonics/ notes that you hear in his voice when you solo it. Sometimes I would filter the voice a bit with Filterbank. If we added any grit, it was often Lo-Fi. The delays were a combination of a real PCM-42 through the console and the Moog Delay plug-in or the Waves Super-Tap delay or Echo-Farm. I use the Super-Tap whenever I want to create a really big washy and spacey delay. Compressor was a blackface 1176. We also used an SPX90. I think it was 'Pitch Change A'. That's all the tech stuff but the real deal is just his voice. Really expressive and he is so identifiable. Something missing in a lot of current music."

And here's an article about the production and mixing techniques used when recording and mixing Diamond Eyes:

And a little info on the general Chino sound when Terry Date mixed ATF and WP:

"The Chino vocal sound is usually based on a healthy amount of quick compression and patch #23 on the SPX 90... a doubler effect with the left side 5-10 cents flat, and the right side 5-10 cents sharp. And swimmy delays. Terry and I are both fans of the Zoom 9030 box, originally made for guitars (and it's not great on guitars) but perfect for nutty vocal and drum effects."
