Hi Michael

I wonder if I might trouble you with some questions about sessions with White Lion and Bonfire.

I am very interested in the use of reverb back in the 80s (I have a similar thread running in 'So much gear so little time' but this is more specific). I am also a huge fan of 80s 'stadium rock' acts and would like to know about the reverb choices that were made back then especially with regard to vox and bvox.

The whole treatment applied to these albums is extremely effective (imo) at highlighting the melodies and textures of the songs - shame everything has to be in your face these day (like the last Iron Maiden album Dance of Death, which was ruined by someone)

Many thanks

Hysteria
