well my quesiton is, what guitar effects are being used for the lead (i think its lead) guitar (the electric guitar) in the song "For what its worth"... i think i got the name right, i dont know, but the lyrics go "stop children, whats that sound, everybody look whats going down"

anyhow, thats it.

This is the only Buffalo Springfield site I know about.

Might be a starting point. You may be surprised to find out who was playing on that song, if you aren't familiar with the band.

It's really sad none of those gyus went on to accomplish anything....

Oh, yeah, a bunch of dead-enders, all right...

Well you can't expect too much, after all, one was Canadian...

While it spoils the joke, Fulghy's referring to Neil Young.

Other members of the band included Stephen Stills, Richie Furay, Jim Messina, and Dewey Martin. Stephen Stills wrote For What It's Worth.

I'm going to assume it was Neil Young who did the lead, and you can find out what he uses here.

EDIT: Here's another link. Relevant quote:

JO: What effects do you use the most?

NY: An original tube Echoplex, an MXR analog delay, a Boss flanger, and an old white Fender reverb unit with new springs that are separate. The springs are on a microphone stand that goes on the cement floor of the building. It extends up to the bottom of the stage, and the spring stands on top of the microphone stand and the wire comes through a hole in the stage completely separate. I can't use it if I don't do that, because if I jump onstage, the spring rattles. It has to be isolated from the surface of anything that's vibrating.

I will also don my riot gear before mentioning my favorite Neil Young tune is T-Bone, from the Reactor album.

Got mashed potatoes. Ain't got no t-bone.
