TECHNOLOGY INFLUENCE

Queen were often a very intelligent group when it came to technology, although they tended to favour the human factor at least in the 70's. Mainly, they employed the following devices and effects:

- Guitar pedals: Only occasionally, for instance a Cry-Baby in Great King Rat, and the odd thing here and there.

- Talkbox: Deillah

- Harmoniser: Chinese Torture, as well as some things live (e.g. Save Me during 'Crazy' tour on vocals, Millionaire Waltz on guitar).

- Tape phasing: Killer Queen (album)

- Varispeed: Keep Yourself Alive (some guitars), Son and Daughter...

- Programmed Drums: Machines...

- Synthesiser Arpeggiator: Action this Day, Las Palabras de Amor
