duration: 2:08

type: active improv: ehx ravish "freeze" function + reverse guitar effects - live solo performance


another in the reverse series, I really enjoyed working with the combination of the ravish with reverse guitar - I've always like playing reverse guitar "live", and I've loved doing so ever since it became possible. My love of reverse sounds started with the Beatles, and the eiree and unmistakable twin reverse guitars on their song "I'm Only Sleeping", and when I began working with reel-to-reel tape recorders, one of the very first things I did, was try out the same technique myself - and add "backwards guitar" solos to my tape recorded pieces.

It was tricky when you had a 4-track (like the TEAC 3340-S that I used for many, many years - right up until the mid 90s - because you had to plan around your backwards track, and also take care not to overwrite any of your "forwards" information.

so when they bottled that magic, by adding it to pedals like the Line 6 DL-4 delay, and the DIgitech Time Bender (and many others, to be fair) I had to have it - and the joy of being able to push ONE button, and instantly be playing reverse guitar, "live" - is just overwhelming, it can be so incredibly beautiful and wonderful sometimes - always the unexpected.
