Actually... you've seen him in videos with that little
black box on his guitar PRETENDING to layer things.
The little black box was called the 'Les Paulverizer';
what it was was a switching mechanism by which he
turned on/off some pre-taped backing tracks. Ever the
consumate showman, 'Rhubarb Red' recognised that it
would seem cooler if people thought it was done live
in real time. He was right! :-)
