Hi Per, It's a bit of both. From what he's said, there are some electronics that do the same job as standing in front of a very loud amp and controlling the feedback (like Fripp on "Heroes") that produces infinite sustain, as opposed to alternating magnets vibrating the strings, which is I think other devices get huge sustain. That potentially infinte sustain then gets looped. He also has the guitar wired with an IVL Pitchrider MIDI interface, so he's driving synths with it too. The Edge's intro to "With or Without You" is also infinite guitar. There are apparently only three of them in existence (Daniel Lanois has the other). Every interview, however, Brook is quite reticent about how the infinite guitar works at a nuts'n'bolts level, as he says he is in discussions with manufacturers about marketing it, although I'm not aware of that having come to anything. - Tony Per Boysen <per@boysen.se> wrote: >On 14 feb 2006, at 23.47, Tony Douglas wrote: >> Hope that lot was of interest. > >Very interesting!
