Første anmeldelse "Rødast Hjerta" : terningkast 5 Rogalands Avis

.....«Rødast hjerta» er fornuftig og pent produsert. Musikerne gir Tang Wa en god oppbakking. Sentralt står Johan Egdetveits trekkspill som sørger for at visene får et bestemt lyduttrykk. Den samme effekten har gitarene til Arne R. Skage jr. En stor takk til samtlige produsenter for at de ikke har falt i el-piano- og softgitarfellen.....

Til Himmels - Terningkast 6 for konsert Med Svein Tang Wa i Stavanger

....Et svært solid band slapp drevent og ytterst dyktig visekunstneren fram i front. Låtene på konserten vekslet som på den nye platen mellom de lekne ordspillbetraktningene og vakkervarme og dypt alvorlige betraktninger om livet. Bodil Mathisruds celloinntreden på «Eg har ein drøm» hevet nivået til himmels. ....

Gibson/Oberheim Echoplex digital pro

The EDP is my latest tool, combined with a midicontroler this looping device becomes an instrument of its own, fantastic improv-tool . I've used the loop function in my line6 dl4 for years, but this is something completely diffrent. Ive incorporated into my live acoustic/pedal steel rack, giving me the oportunity to switch instruments while looping.
the signal chain is like this:

dbx dual preamp

into

Presonus firestation - 8 chanel linemixer with 2 preamps (4 preamps total)

mono into

EDP

mono into

Lexicon effectprocessor/ reverb

stereo to house
