Re: Anybody see this? Eventide delay unit w/ loop mode



I believe the effect Greg is referring to can be heard towards the end 
of Tommy Bolin's solo on the song Quadrant 4 on Billy Cobham's album 
'Spectrum'. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbLjObdYWhQ

The effect can be heard about 2-1/2 minutes in and again at the end of 
the guitar solo...

This recording has always a reference point for me for masterful use of 
feedback and delay.  It's similar to a runaway analog delay, and I'm 
still not 100% sure that's it's just an Echoplex because it seems like 
it would require at least two hands to change the regen level and speed 
controls - not to mention that Bolin uses it to close a burning solo. 

One thing that I can say fer sure, tho - put that in a box and I'm there!
