Re: King crimson stuff



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.
