It beats me why folks slate this bloke. I thought he was wonderful in "The African Queen" with Katherine Hepburn.

Agreed Alan, they're all a bit unkind, remember his version of Atlantis? identical to The Shads and no one else here has posted anything close. :D

Ive heard some of the sound samples hes made on that unit.
he's playing alongside shadows records (not backing tracks) and when you can pick out his echoes, theyre nowhere near what they should be.
The TC D2 unit hes using is not capable of the multi tap patterns that shadows type pieces require.
Buying the two units seperately would be around £450 for the TC and the behringer around £60..... a nice little profit margin.

Waste of money!

Yes Robbo, I well remember Guy and the 'fun' we had when he wouldn't stop diging the hole he'd found himself in. I think I mentioned that having the sound track below his playing sounded quite good as an embelishment and he could stand alone on his on skill. However he wouldn't have it as not playing along to the track. As a caveat, I realise I have a history.

Looking at the links given on You Tube to market the echo unit, I notice one guy askes a question:-

Uploaders' Comments (gadunor )

Bonjour, vraiment excellent et c'est un musicos qui a appris a jouer à la guitare en ..1965 sur les tubes des Shadows...cela fait un bail..., j' aimerais savoir sur quel matériel tu joues ?

( Space Echo, Vox Ac 15 ??) Merci de perpétrer cette époque musicale formidable..

Matos:VOX AC 30 Zoom 508 module TC DTWO Apache et pedale ARIAB MKII

amitiés,

Marc


Having had a Zoom 508 unit years ago, it's sat there on the desk in other non promo vids. Frightened City clip shows a quick shot of the unit set to Sleepwalk. All the promo vids uses masks to centre Marc in the shot. No visuals of the equipment room which would really feature the unit quite heavily.

Guy offers a comment to Marc (of himself perhaps).

You can't kid a kidder. Of course I may be totaly wrong and this is only my interpretation ;)

He is a complete idiot. I was hoping he'd been locked up but, just like I didn't win the Lottery, he is still alive and unfortunately, still kicking!!
