Kevin Shields and Gemma Hayes

Post by ChrisFFTA » Sat May 02, 2020 3:24 am

Did a search and found this already on here

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-WRHL8lCNcI

But has anyone else seen this? I’ve been addicted to it for years and always wondered what patch he was using behind him :) and wishing it was a longer clip

If by “patch” you mean “effect,” isn’t that just reverse reverb?

It would be a "patch" on the Yamaha SPX90. early reflections or reverse gate, not 'reverse reverb' on that particular device.

Never heard that before...sounds like a complete mismatch though.

That clip is from 2006. I’m not the biggest effects nerd, but I would bet that he was not lugging an SPX90 to gigs to get that effect at that point.

That's what guitar techs are for. He didn't lug shit... even to a pub gig.

I was absolutely wrong on that one. It still seems nuts to me. How was KS making money in the post-Loveless pre-reunion period?? Guest spots and producing?

That and royalties maybe? Maybe he could've put his money on other stuff as well

That's the most realistic guess. He sure had a lot of them ;D
