"That’s the original rack and Ian (Haug) went and bought a Strymon Big Sky and accidentally fluked the sound that I get. So I got a Big Sky as well, just as a spare just in case my rack goes down."

Peter describes his amplifier set-up as "a very dynamic quintaphonic system.There are five sources of sound . . . actually it can be seven at times. It works with a basic stereo system: a chorus split into one Vox and two Leslies. The Vox gets the same echo as the Leslie, plus another echo, and the Leslies have a stereo effect between themselves because they're revolving speakers. And there's another line that I use to run tape-loops and non-direct reverb into a Roland JC-120 -- which is also a stereo amp. So altogether it's like seven different speakers, which is monstrous and huge and orgasmic for a guitar."

"The Jazzmaster and Telecaster are Pre-L models," says Peter."The Strat is supposed to be a pre-L; the body has a pre-L plate, but it's gotan L-series neck on it. The Jazzmaster's a funny guitar; it's as thin as aGibson SG, with P-9 (aka soapbar) pickups on it. Those are old, single coil Gibson pickups, beautiful, powerful pickups. Single-coil pickups have got awider range than humbuckers."
