    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    heres the response i got on the floyd board... anyone care to explain if the everyday guitarist could get a hold of this effect?



    David uses an AER acoustic amp and a Fender Passport P.A. to monitor his acoustic sound on stage, but the Passport only amplifies the signal from a Roland SDE-3000 delay used for looping on 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

    After the All Tube Effects System had been in use for three years we were asked to provide a new facility. David wished to play "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" as a solo feature at Robert Wyatt’s Meltdown show at London’s Royal Festival Hall. The first section of this song was originally acoustic guitar played over a sustained synthesiser pad and David had the idea of using a very long delay to provide an accompaniment to his acoustic guitar solo. We added a special level corrected balanced output from the All Tube Effects System to provide a +4dBm signal for the long delay (Roland SDE 3000) fed through a volume pedal. The repeats of the long (1500mS) delay were fed to a Fender Stereo PA amplifier so that David could play the solo section over the sustained chord that he had previously sent to the long delay. We set the repeats to provide about 20 seconds of the sustained chord and we also fitted D.I. outputs for the acoustic guitar and the long delay so that the main PA could receive the signal without the possibility of feedback from open mics on the stage.
