"Well I remember using the Electro-Harmonix 16-second digital delay, which was pretty radical for that time. You could have 16 seconds of delay and play whole phrases on top of each other. We also did a lot of improvising at the editing stage - sort of chopping pieces up, playing new parts, and editing them together again. We also used a Yamaha CS80 synth on Hybrid, and of course there was the buzz bass - a modified instrument which sounds like a bass sitar. It produces a beautiful sound. The idea was really taken from a tambura - it's like a cross between a bass guitar and a tambura. I also used this little Hawaiian guitar quite a lot actually."

Apart from the infinite electronics, Brook's approach to guitar playing is pretty hi-tech in other aspects, and he has a good selection of effect boxes is elaborate: Electroharmonix Fuzz; Hot Tubes; Yamaha Graphic EQ; DOD 280 compressor; Korg OVD-1 overdrive; Electroharmonix Memoryman analogue delay line; Electroharmonix 16-second delay. He controls everything with a set of six volume pedals which control: (1) the H3000; (2) the MIDI guitar and sequencers; (3) the Bel BD 80s delay line; (4) the Electroharmonix delay line; (5) infinite guitar; and finally, (6) normal guitar. Brook uses a Sansamp amp simulator and plugs either directly into the PA (live) or straight into the desk (when recording).
