What songs does Frusciante use an EHX MicroSynth on? What are his settings on these songs?

"Well, it was put to me by "that guy" when I was, like, four. So I went into my parents' record collection and found a rock'n'roll compilation. And when my mom asked if I wanted to move to L.A., I said, "Yeah," because I knew that was where the rock stars were. I was seven. Then when I found punk and listened to the Germs, I started seeing how I was part of this. I remember being out on the baseball field when I was 11, and I felt like such an outsider. Standing there in right field, I started making up an angry punk song in my head, and I went home and wrote, like, 20 songs in a row. I realized it didn't even matter if I knew how to play guitar yet." -John Frusciante

Yeah, it says he uses 16 seconds of delay in the outro solo, but I don't hear it...

Yes, here!
The 16 Second Delay is a effect of Electro-Harmonix. He didn't use the full lenght of the effect, but he use it for the delay in the outro solo. In 2004 EH made a reissue of the delay. I hope I could help you :)

Right, I'm saying I don't hear it. Do you actually hear the wet signal in the song?

Yes, listen exactly. You hear a little bubble behind each note, it's very short so be concentraded. The best is: take good headphones and listen to the outro solo a few times. You'll get it, I'm sure.
