Steve Hillage's tone ?
Yeah that's right I said Steve Hillage. I don't actually want to sound like it, but just wondering if anyone knows what gear he used to get that piercing trebly tone he always used in the 70s ( and I think he still does in his current Techno incarnation ) . Octave pedal ? Synth Filter ?

At about 3:00 on the vid it sounds like a good ol' fashioned OC44 Germanium style treble boost. You could run a competition to I.D this guys use of effects.
Cool, this jogged my memory to another lifetime ago when I bought an album called "Virginity" or something like that. It was Richard Branson's launch of his label Virgin Records.
