Subject:Re: Jon Lord, how does he do that?

Hi Mark,
Google gave this page with details:
http://www.sospubs.co.uk/sos/feb98/html/sosnew11.htm

I just remembered seeing that photo once (does he look like one of the loudest keyboard players on earth?).

"Jon Lord, keyboard player with the recently-reformed Deep Purple, has fallen in love with Hughes & Kettner's Rotosphere tube- based rotary effects unit. He particularly likes the way the Rotosphere's tube circuitry fattens up up the tone and gives him the added expressive edge he needs, especially when playing on larger stages, where it helps him to cut through the band mix. Not only does Jon treat his Hammond organs with the Tube Rotosphere, he also puts his synths and samplers through the processor, for added warmth and presence.
Jon is currently touring with Deep Purple - and his Tube Rotosphere - and an album is due in the spring.Address: Korg UK Ltd, 9 Newmarket Court, Kingston, Milton Keynes MK10 0AU.Tel: Brochure Line 01908 857150.Fax: 01908 857199."
