  1. I know that during the slow parts they use chorus and reverb. Its pretty basic. If I were you I would get a good chorus pedal like the one that BOSS makes. It will be well worth it or you can get a multi effects pedal. Hope this helps.


  2.      At 2:26 of the song..it's really just a mild bit of distortion, or perhaps some type of over-drive pedal, like the infamous Tube Screamer.  What gives the solo its' kick is the use of the whammy bar, or hand tremelo as some refer.

         This is a bar that is attached to the bridge and can release the tension on the strings, causing them to slightly lose pitch, or tuning until the bar is returned to it's standard position.

         It also sounds like a bit of fret tapping going on in the solo, ala Eddie Van Halen.
