We Are Family played on a wah pedal. I played it this way so folks can hear the voice leading and substitutions. The G11 I play as a D-9 at times pic.twitter.com/RA67DduGP5— Nile Rodgers (@nilerodgers) June 20, 2020

This was a surprise to me!
Attending the #funeral of a Panther’s baby. I’m the skinny 16 year-old brother on the right. Sub-section leader of Lower Manhattan Section, Harlem Branch. We were so filled with love. pic.twitter.com/qyewOg59PI— Nile Rodgers (@nilerodgers) June 4, 2021

I kind of remember reading that he never used an amp on records- just DI. Sounds like a lot of compression going in. I've gotten similar sounds with my strat and DI to an actual mic pre/ comp channel strip (as opposed to a pedal).
Delays such as the rhythm guitar on Let's Dance were a Bob Clearmountain thing, more than a Nile thing, if I had to guess.
