On An Island tour 2006 |
Pete has provided equipment for
David's solo work, and Pink Floyd work too, since 1976/77, when he also
supplied a bass effects pedalboard for Roger Waters.
He also provided
no less than seven custom pedalboards for The Wall concerts in 1980 and
1981.
The new pedalboard's development is shown in step-by-step detail at www.petecornish.co.uk/bop.html,
with the woodworking phase shown over 27 images, and the
metalworking/electronics phase of construction over 18 images.
For
those interested in how these are constructed, you can see in great
detail the amount of work that goes into them, and it gives a good idea
of what the final product will look like.
Since 1972, Pete Cornish has
created handcrafted guitar effects and amp routing systems for the
worlds best known performers, using the best available components.
From
effects boards to power distribution units, guitar cables to custom
speaker cabinets, Pete has done it all, and his services are always in
great demand.
Our thanks to Pete for sparing the time to get back to us, and to Simon Penrose for alerting us to this info in the first place.
