How To Use a Gated Reverb Effect Like David Bowie

Hey folks! In this video I'm gonna try and re-create the Ol' David Bowie Gated Reverb Effect. Pioneered by Tony Visconti, who produced Bowie's album 'Heroes' among others, it's a great way of adding an extra layer of richness to dynamic vocal performances.
