There's many different kinds of delay/echo units you could use but you can get some wacky sounds with this:

Steve Howe didn't really use a whole lot of effects back in the 70s. Some of the effects he did use were a fuzz face (think Yours is No Disgrsace on Yessongs), Electro Harmonix Memory Man, and a whole lot of volume pedal.

I'm pretty sure that Steve Hackett used a Shaftsbury duo fuzz on the first few Genesis albums. This has a distinctive sound but is difficult to find and is expensive. Some germanium transistor fuzz boxes currently available can get close to it for a lot less.
As for digital effects, I always end up using analogue - most modern stuff is quiet enough for recording and invariably sounds far better in my opinion.

Pedal setups for guys like Hackett etc change constantly Just look at Holdsworth over time how much he has changed his backline gear and guitars.
The main thing is to keep noise levels low. Some pedals of old retain a characteristic that new ones just can't seem to emulate 100%. take an afternoon go to the nearest Musical Instrument shop and try all pedals in different combinations.
Only then will you find what you like, not by someone posting about pedal 'X' or rack unit 'Y'

 It really comes down to this:
Are you the player or do you let the effects play you ???

Well, I love the sustainer in Fernandes guitars. It's a very useful effect most for studio recording, but I think the best you can do is to have the route to effects and route to dry sound totally separated. It's what i'm into now. You can use the effect you need in a specific passage, but it's important to have a solid guitar sound. At last, it's rock...

Has anyone had any experience with the Vox Phantoms? 6/12 or even the Organ Guitar.
Ive watched a few Videos on them and they seem very temperamental. And hard to get a hold of to try.
So I was wondering if anyone had any feed back on them?

A good digital chorus unit in addition a high quality digital reverb unit preferably  w/ stereo outs. That is the key to atmospheric spatial separation. Digital delay, you must experiment with the delay times per your liking..Unless you like generating noise type effects- the analog stuff save for the RE -201 Space Echo, will bring alot of noise ( Hiss) into your sound.

I just did that using only four pedals.  Remember, be creative enough so that one pedal multiplies your abilities not just gives you a little edge, you don't want to be heavily reliant upon a lot of pedals, they should just embellish.  However that thing I recorded was done in one take and the pedals are much less subtle than usual......I was a little out there at the time so forgive it's weirdness and some slightly sloppy sections.  Really though, thats some pretty FX'd guitar
Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance.

IMO, EHX are fairly bottom of the barrel, I'd look more into Eventide/Diamond/Strymon/Analogman/Mad Professor

I want to recommend you to hear some post rock/metal groups.Then I want you to tell me your opinion about the guitar effects that they use.
