Crossing delay technique

Folks: Does anyone have the interest in getting me started on achieving a sound similar to the opening acoustic riffs in Steely Dan's Any Major Dude?

I'm assuming its what they call a crossing delay.

How would I start to achieve that?

Thanks.

    Sounds to me like its 2 different git parts panned left and right.
    If you want to do the crossing delay thingy, add a stereo delay to each part.
    On the left part put the left delay on 0ms and the right on say 20ms.
    Reverse it for the right side.

    thanks RLD, I think I may have it on greatest hits CD. I had pretzel logic on vinyl... long gone.

    Roger: Thanks for the reply. On I-tunes the reissue of the song is so crisp it's ridiculous. The intro sounds almost like some kind of leslie effect in that I can feel the two gtrs moving from side to side.

    Thanks for this tip on the crossing effect. I'll give that a try.

    sounds like a ultra-wide delay going side to side, in sync with the tempo. at first i thought two guitars, but now i think it's just one. the delay is probably an insert and not a send, and self-eq'ed so that basically only the attack and some midrange are coming through which is giving you the rhythmic almost shaker-like sound. at least that's my guess. probably totally off...

    I was just reading about this in "Mixing Audio" by Roey Izhaki. He calls it a "ping-pong" delay. You need a stereo delay that will allow you to pan the feedback from one channel into the other.
