A deeper look into…
Pete Cornish pedal board 1976-77
The board has two inputs for guitars (input is selected with an on/off selector pedal). The signal is then split, – into a Conn Strobo tuner and a master bypass. The signal travels through the effects (as lined up in chain above) and then to three outputs for amps, either in solo or combined.
- The PC Custom Fuzz P-1 is often listed as PC Big Muff and PC Fuzz.
- The Cry Baby wah wah has a custom made reverse switch to reverse the input/output connection for “seagull/Echoes” effects. - see Meddle for more
- The PC Custom Tone pedal was a modified Cry Baby chassis with a Fender Telecaster tone circuit.

MXR Digital Delay
This digital delay unit replaced David’s Binson Echorec. He stated that he was tired of cleaning the Binson and needed something more reliable. The MXR has controls for delay time, sweep/frequency and level as well as programming.
Morley EVO-1 Echo Volume
This is an analog delay/echo unit with a copper disc rotating in an oilcan. A very warm and unique sound, but the oil leaked out and it was taken out of the rig in the middle of the tour. David used this as a supplement to the Binson.
