RE: King crimson stuff

["Alan Kroeger" <nospam@developsolutions.com>]

I had always been under the assumption that he got the octave sound out of
the GR300 myself but, since someone brought up the possibility of the Foxx
Tone Machine. I got to thinking that it could possibly be that or maybe he
just conciously or unconciously modeled his GR patch around the FTM sound 
or
something like it. The tune I was thinking about was Paint The Road from
Twang Bar King.

Thanks Guys
Another Belewaholic ;D

At one point in the early 80's, and memory fails me when exactly, AB had an
Ibanez HD1000 Harmonizer Harmonics Delay.  I remember talking about it 
with,
and buying one from, Reeves Gabrels when he was working at Wurlitzer on
Newbury Street back in 1986.

The Roland GR300 of that era also would create pitch-shifted tones +/-
octaves

And then AB also is a superlative slide-guitar player, and he would often 
go
beyond the fretboard.

I hope that helps.
