2nd attempt at getting that frippertonics guitar sound
again, i didn't succeed, but i did get something....maybe a bit closer this time
guitar sounds were realised by using a variety of software distortion and delay plugins - this time a totally different array effects than those used on version one. the sounds mainly came from 'pedalboard' which is an effect in logic pro. the same 4 guitar tracks from version one are used here. the whole output was sent through augustus loop - i think what made a big difference this time was the use of the volume pedal effect on pedalboard to create the swells. also i was more careful about where i placed the fuzz, chorus and echo effects this time and i found i was able to control the feedback from the guitar better....i think this is an important clue to the frippertronic sound
notes from frippertronics #1: There are 2 different guitar tracks which i doubled, making a total of 4 tracks to be effected.
does anyone have any comments on how to get closer to a true frippertronic sound?
also - if anyone wants to use this and future frippertronic experiments in a piece of their own, feel free to - just drop me a note in the comments on here to let me know

I don't think it's very successful as frippertronics. I I think I read ages ago somewhere that Fripp used a live tape looping with two reel to reel tape machines . I've gotten a similar sound using my Boss DD-20 Sound-on-Sound setting and playing with an ebow through an overdrive or distortion effect into my amp. But I feel like you have to "play" it, live. I don't think it will sound as organic when you try to simulate it "in the box". I know, there's too many quotation marks there, but I think that's a really important component of Fripp, listening to what is going on in the room. It's sort of Zen.
