GUITAR SYSTEM S/No: 200 All photographs and text copyright by Pete Cornish
DESIGNED AND BUILT BY PETE AND LYNDA CORNISH
JUNE 1989
The Routing System consists of 19 inch Rack Mount Units with a remote control footboard connected via a 16 metre multicore. All the effects bypasses and mutes, preamp muting, preamp channel change, Linear Boost, dry mutes etc. etc. are pre-selected by Lee Dickson via a pin matrix system on the off-stage rack and controlled in real time by Eric using the on-stage remote footboard. The pin matrix (20 X 10) allows the creation of any combination of effects and preamp usage to be controlled by a single footswitch thus with the ten available footswitches (nine on footboard plus one in Wah pedal) ten different combinations of the twenty options can be easily accessed.
Considerable modifications were done by Pete Cornish to the Soldano SLO100 Amps - Crunch, Clean and Lead preamp levels corrected and buffered to suit effects in use - Power amp section isolated to allow separate Master Volume and Linear Boosts to be utilized.
