A pair of rack-mounted Alesis Quadraverb effects processors, used by John in concert and in live/touring hard case.
From the John Martyn website:
"The SDD3000 proved troublesome and were replaced by one and then two ALESIS QUADRAVERB GT multi effect and digital delay units (not with Hank Marvin preset I assume). These were mounted in a 19” rack flight cased config and placed onto top of the JC120 amp.
The Qudraverbs were placed in the effect loop of the JC120. They were ganged together to give him those short doubling delays that you hear on some of his later tracks.
The multi-effects loaded in these Quadraverbs provided chorus and phasing as required and possibly reverb headroom as well.
It is possible that his keyboard player Foster Patterson flew his some/all of his digital effect rig from his position at the keyboards. He certainly had control of some sounds it appeared to me."
