Keeping up with the Goths

People who have watched both GIRL ALONE and GLOOM will have heard my attempts at music, ahem (clears throat)...well my style of play and the sound I prefer is greatly influenced by the 1980's UK Gothic Music scene. Bands like The Cult, Sisters Of Mercy, The Cure, Fields Of The Nephilim and Bauhaus have greatly influenced me.

To achieve the 'jangly' 80's Gothic sound I use a Guyatone analog delay and a Boss Chorus CE-3. But I felt that I wasn't getting enough chorus sound, I wanted my guitar to sound like The Cure in Plainsong from Disintergration. So I went out and bought a second chorus pedal. It's made in Japan by Hot Line Music and it's called Buskers Chorus BCH-4.

That extra depth to the sound will be very important. Now I will sound even more Goth than ever!!!
