Thank you Phil for the video and sharing this on this forum. A bit surprised only that after one week and more than 240 views on this forum noone bother to comment. It’s actually about a echo unit made by Charlie Hall and John Collins and some other stuff... :-)

Thanks for sharing Phil

I am liking the sound of the pitchfork, opens up all sort of possibilities

Kurt,

Great sound as usual!
Nice to see how it's created.
The pitchfork is very interesting like Steve wrote....it intrigues a lot.


Cheers Rob

Hi Steve and Rob - Yes Kurt introduced me to the Pitchfork after last years 2017 Scarborough Gala - I was so impressed I bought one (and so did a few others !) Great fun to use - I've made 2 or 3 videos using it one of which is in the Sound Files section now.
Kurt always makes great use of the H&C echo, to hear their sound live was so authentic for those early Shadows sounds and the Lennart Clerwall compositions.
Cheers Phil

Thankyou Kurt and Phil, I just ordered an Electro Harmonix Pitchfork after your review of the pedal board and I also use the C9 and B9 organ pedals for Telstar and some Lordy Deep Purple and of course The Final Countdown by Europe.
Cheers John.

Hi
I have had this tune in my head ever since the gala weekend, you know what its like, the melody keeps going on and on in your brain, but can you hell as like remember the title, if Kurt can help out here, its the one that has a marching type backing with you playing really deep bass tones, I believe its one of Lennarts, my wife has joined in on this one now.... dum de dada , any suggestions would be great.
May I also just take the opportunity to endorse Roger Allcocks comment on the day , that this great unique sound that Kurt has developed, is also all about the player as much as the equipment...it was a pleasure to watch and listen...brilliant
