That must have been midi patterns triggered by the drums. As far as the gear that the musicians had, this was all I could see: John Scofield: Ibanez artist hollowbody, Boogie Mark IV, and Vox AC30, Boomerang, Rat pedal, Digitech Whammy. He was also getting a flange somewhere..perhaps from rack gear... Avi Bortnick: Yamaha (strat style), Fender amp (deluxe...maybe, not sure), a couple boss pedals (couldn;t tell which ones..), and a wah pedal that I couldn;t recognize. He also used the Electro-harmonix envelope filter. He also had a sampler (boss maybe) and a groove box (I think it was the Korg Electribe..) Bass: Fender mustang bass (which he played mostly in the upper registers, like an upright), Ampeg amp, purple Line 6 pedal...I forget..is that the filter modeler? He also what looked like an Electroharmonix EQ, with a bunch of faders, or perhaps this was the microsynth or bass microsynth...couldn;t really tell......he had some other pedals too, but couldn;t see them. sorry, i didn;t do a very thorough inspection... - Chris
