HW: Effects that Hawkwind use

[Captain Bl@ck]

In answer to your query:

I take a line-out from Dave's guitar amp and feed it into Input 2 of the
second EMS I use. The signal is then ring-modulated against a not-quite-pure
sine-wave, and fed through a filter. The cut-off of the filter is then
tweaked in real time using a joystick...

...which is more or less the way Del did it on Doremi and Space Ritual.

NEXT!

Can anyone out there do me a CD-R set of the Canterbury gig please - it
sounded great on stage but its always useful to hear it from the point of
view of the audience.

Captain Bl at ck.
