I was listening to Angels & Saints, by the Neverending White Lights. It starts off with a cool effect that puts the guitar through both sides of the headphones. One strum into the right ear, the next into the left ear and so on. What effect would that be?

Probably a panner, assuming the strumming is fairly rhythmic.

I don't know what it's called, but it's a pretty cool effect at any rate.

its just a pan.... most producers/engineers pan everything left and right but bass. I pan vocals more one way than the other then add delay to the other side and it gives a really cool effect, i pan a drumset so that if u were in the crowd looking at it while he was playing when he hits his crash on ur right you hear it out the right... kinda a surround sound type thing... it is a cool effect......

I thought it was a panning thing. I do that when I record. But it's only one guitar, and the strumming is really rhythmic.

Can you get a panner effect unit, or does it only come in multi-fxs?

Check the Boss PN2. Most likely this was done with software, post recording. Setting a panner accurately for real-time usage can be 'problematic'...

According to Boss, one or more of their Delay pedals can do this.
