There's such a thing as a good jangly guitar sound?

Eyelids from Portland, Oregon go for jangly on their latest album produced by Peter Buck

What's the cheapest gear that'll chime? What are the best types of chords?

Compression was the secret ingredient in Byrd’s jangle as they ran 12 string through a couple tube compressors direct to the board. Mcguinn uses a pedal now to get that sounds.

can confirm; love to play jangly stuff and love my mxr compressor almost as much for its facilitating of that. for fun jangly lofi goodness = chorus->comp->spring reverb. oh yeah.

MXR Compressor with the 'snake eyes' setting is pretty much the default for a Tele to get that spanky country sound.

There is a Byrds inspired compressor called the "Jangle Box" that some pedal scientist has out there.
