Below are my very rough notes for more gear etc: Bell labs "Automatic Double Tracker" Memory Man pedal 2 U67 valve 2. Shure 57 Room was Stereo AKG 24 valve . The bass amp cab was a trace Eliot not sure if it was 10 or 15 . Possibly 10 s as studio 2 at olympic was not huge . He used the neck pickup for ryth and switched bridge for solo: https://youtu.be/ynqft1hDTyA GEORDIE INTERVIEW NOTES "Memory man, which is stereo, each of the outputs goes into a Bell ADT unit, and on into an amp each. It sounds like about six guitars playing, awesome! I have a lot of trouble recording with them. When you're standing there in a room with them it affects your body; I mean you can feel the thing and it overwhelms you, but if you stick a mike in front of it, it sounds nothing like the room. The miking is so critical. I have to spend hours walking around finding a good spot. I remember in the Townhouse I had three pairs of stereo mikes on my set-up, two about three feet away, another pair ten feet away, and a pair of the big valve Neumanns about 15 or 20 feet away, and I mixed the lot together to get the sound. It fills the room, but it's just getting that sound onto record." Gibson ES295 (main one was an early 50's one) 1952 Boogie eater/Marshall killer Burman 250 watts tube in stereo Two Burman amps with a chorus between them. KT77 TUBES. He went to Burman who told him he was QUITTING amp building. Burman 8x10 speakers Gibson SG junior backup EH Deluxe Memory Man into two Paice ADT chorus/delay/deviation/modulation "PA:CE (Parmee Acoustics and Collins Electromagnetics) units, one under the Bell Electrolabs brand" The Beatles used it on vocals to add a phase chorus to thicken vocals. Burman GX3 preamp/amp Tunes to D up to 062 on the bottom Goodman speakers. Paul Raven was in Prong and Ministry Bass headless bass 80's Steinberger XM2 P/J Wal bass. He had Raven chorus dirt pedal Later on Geordie used TC Electronic 1210 Spatial Expander They were experimenting with contact mics on the body of his guitar, trying to make it sound like a symphony orchestra on a radio that wasn't quite tuned in. They spent ages trying this but gave up because it sounded shite Tony McKenzie Burman: https://youtu.be/jXvZoGaz7V0 Transformer was custom. Not partridge and 3 levels of cascading gain with KT77 TUBES. MULLARD mustard caps. THE old gold lion. Mesa Boogie copied the cascading gain? Geordie studied archetecture. Melody market ad and joined KJ. Instantly argued over music but that stuck with Geordie. He lived in a girl's dorm much like Syd Barret Englebert HUMPERDINK & Hendrix influence Mention demos. Highlight the RESONANCE: https://youtu.be/pHJShR-wTcc CHRIS Kimsey also worked on ZEPLIN III Frampton comes alive Producer of Wierd Science. The Rolling Stones Duran Duran ordinary world Nirvana. Sent KJ a Christmas card Jimmy Page: "I go back a long way with Jaz Coleman and the band. I used to go and see the band, and it was a band that really impressed me because Geordie's guitar sound was just really, really strong"
