比菲·克莱罗(Biffy Clyro)的吉他科技理查德·普拉特(Richard Pratt)如何使戴夫(Dave)的英国奖颁奖典礼实际上可以播放

事实证明,在吉他拾音器附近的任何地方都有一个高功率的加热线圈会变得有些嘈杂。

理查德·乔德·普拉特(Richard'Churd'Pratt)也许是最著名的Guitar.comreaders as the man behind the excellent消失了钓鱼效果, as well as the guitar technician for Biffy Clyro. But three weeks ago, he was called upon to take a break from building pedals and Biffy Clyro, for something a little more incendiary. Pratt was the man behind the戴夫(Dave)和他的吉他手在上周的《英国奖》(Brit Awards)上演奏的火焰摩托车吉他,在大火的表演中,通过从床头上爆炸了大的火焰,结束了颁奖典礼。

我们赶上了普拉特(Pratt),以了解您如何制造火焰吉他。扰流板警报:您将无法在家做。请不要尝试。

Where did the flamethrower guitar concept come from?

“我们在很多演出中都有很多pyro,但是我从未在吉他上做过燃烧的吉他。无论如何,我被预订了与戴夫一起做英国人,只是照顾乐队。And then down the grapevine it transpired that Dave had been learning the guitar – he’d only been playing for four months, but he’d been with his guitar teacher every single day, just learning that solo, basically, along with all the tricks of the trade.

“因此,表演设计师,他的名字叫布朗斯基(来自制作二人组的Tawbox),他想出了《火药吉他》的想法,这就是他的全部概念。

“但是我与之合作的一家pyro公司告诉我们,您可以拥有Pyro,或者您可以独奏。他们基本上告诉我们,我们必须嘲笑它​​,他们说:“这是不可能的。”但是,戴夫身边的人们说:“这绝对必须是可玩的。”所以这是挑战”

What were the challenges of actually building the guitar?

“我去了普雷斯顿的慈善商店,买了他们必须处理的所有木板。最初,计划是将通道在脖子后部路由,以便您可以在其中运行电源和液体软管,然后我将环氧树脂从顶部掉下来。

“因此,我做了一个很好的选择 - 但是随后发现Pyro公司想要他们的东西,他们基本上不会将其出售给我们。

“因此,尽管我非常努力地将其集成到仪器本身中,但最终必须是螺栓固定的情况。我不得不钻在吉布森的床头上,以进行两个M6螺栓。这些将喷火器的实际头抬起。戴夫(Dave)不得不戴上绑在腿上的身体背包,那里有扳机和所有技术。

“推进剂软管和加热器线圈的电源电源是在床头柜上的单独的吉他表带上,因此他们可以一直抬起脖子。挑战是主电源运行如此靠近吉他电缆。一旦我们打开加热器线圈,我们就会从吉他发出可怕的声音。它几乎就像水壶线圈一样 - 这是一个非常非常热的元素,您将推进剂射击上面以点燃它。

“The electromagnetic interference was unplayable on the Strat that the session guitarist had, as it had single coils – the Gibson was okay with the humbucker. We ended up putting the session guy on an Epiphone Les Paul, just so he was on humbuckers as well – and we gated the rigs to the nth degree. I ended up using three gates in each chain: one right at the start, one at the end and one in the middle just to try and crush the noise.”

考虑到所有这些挑战,您是否渴望尝试再次做到这一点,或者您目前正在使用燃烧器?

“I’d love to do it again – now that I know what I’m doing! I’d like to make it more integral to the instrument itself next time. But we just didn’t have the means or the time to do something like that.

“仅仅一个星期,这就是学习曲线的强度。整个时间表都很紧张 - 与以前玩过的埃德·希兰(Ed Sheeran)进行了八分钟的更改。只需八分钟的广告休息即可完成整个场景并检查线路,然后直接进入演出。所以没有什么could go wrong.”

说出错 - 看到在福音合唱团面前射出的火焰爆炸有点令人不安……

“值得庆幸的是,来自Pyro公司的家伙从场景后面看着他。有人有安全截止的人,其他人在做线索。因此,如果他转过身向吉他指向合唱团,那么安全截止者就不会让那个家伙在音乐上射击它!”
