Thanks Dave. I thought so myself. Now if only I could play like Greg or Jason. I wonder if they'll travel to Joisey for lessons? LOL!

Pink Floyd/David Gilmour devotee John Roscoe has his own site devoted to obtaining DG's sound, and he is also a Pete Cornish client. Here is a link to view his custom board which took the better part of a year to make, and lightened his wallet to the tune of approx $10k!!! He shows pix during various stages of construction so you can get a look at what goes in to a Cornish board. He does a nice write-up on Pete, uses info and pix from Pete's website (with full permission of same), and provides a link to the Cornish website. John is a friendly guy who was very cordial when I inquired about his custom board and the price. Ck it out:

I still need that lotto winner: my tax refund is on it's way, but it won't cover a Cornish board...not unless I bet it and win, LOL!

Thanks Kevin; that's a pretty neat description of how the board comes together.

John is a nice guy as well. Now if I can only talk him into letting me 'borrow' that pedalboard for a while! Hmmm, unless I get an 'extended' test drive, maybe that's not such a good idea. These expensive toys (and everyone on THIS site knows what I'm talking about, LOL!) will be the ruin of man if he's not careful, LOL!

Hey, I just had a thought:

If Danno's band Doomtree hits it big, maybe he'll get a Cornish effects board and maybe throw a peon like me a freebie Cornish board of his own, LOL!

Just dreaming...but you never know...he may be giddy from the success of the new album, er, um, CD?

Well, I'm goin' to Vegas in a week to ride Harleys in the WARM (!) sun and gamble a little. Maybe I can win enough to get that Cornish board after all. Not bloody likely! But ya gotta have a dream, LOL!

As I mentioned in my other thread here (i.e., David Gilmour Live DVD), Bjorn Riis over at gilmourish.com gets a decent David Gilmour/Pink Floyd tone out of his homemade stomp-box pedalboard and Sound City Amp. He spent years collecting mostly vintage out-of-production stomps and even longer learning to play like DG. I guess where the desire is there, almost anything can be accomplished. I personally can't see going through the same drill and expense all to put up with a bunch of noisy, unreliable, tone-sapping effects myself. Besides needing more than just a good DG/PF tone, I need other tones as well. Add just plain not having the time nor patience to go nuts auditioning a hunnert boxes, and there you have it.

Anyone wanna bankroll my Vegas trip? I'll pay great dividends if I win, LOL! Come on SEVEN! LOL!
