Pink Floyd Guitar Solo in a NASA RATF Chamber

submitted by Mekanikal

7 years 10 months 3 weeks ago

YT: On Dec. 31, 2013, near the end of the last work day of the year, I took my black Fender Strat and Amp to work and set up to jam-out in the worlds most powerful reverberant acoustic test facility (RATF) at the Space Power Facility (SPF) at NASA's Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio.

The acoustic test chamber does its job perfectly for spacecraft at 161+ dB-OASPL, but it also does it's magic at human listenable Pink Floyd sound levels too :-) .. I had my amp on a *completely DRY* gritty distortion setting with absolutely no reverb, or time effects from the amp.. so the combined Chorus, Delay, Echo, Swell effect that you hear is 100% the chamber.. wow..

Because of the amazing acoustic qualities of the chamber, the synth backing track i used from an off-screen speaker get the effect too.. which gets a little confusing.. so my timing isn't as good as I would have liked for a YouTube solo clip.. but a perfect performance isn't the point of this clip.. the point hear is share with you the awesomely cool experience of playing David Gilmour's haunting guitar solo in a NASA Space Environment Test Facility :-) .. what fun!
