Re: Most awesome guitar solo (probably features live looping)

[Charles Zwicky <cazwicky@earthlink.net>]

The "looping" effect you're hearing was done  after the fact using a 
Lexicon  93 "Prime-Time" Delay,  which has only 256ms of delay time, 
but has a wide ranging "Delay  Multiply " switch (1x, 2x, 4x, and 
8x..!!!) and a continuous delay adjustment of 1x to 0.5x.
The effect you hear on that solo was done by  using the the "Repeat 
Hold" button to capture snippets of the solo and then using the 
Delay  Multiply  switch to create half, double, quarter or eighth 
time loops of the captured snippets.

There's one on Ebay right now..!
