As for Peter Cornish pedalboard - I am still waiting for an approval to use the images from his website.
Cheers

But since I'm a Boss fanboy and there's absolutely no evidence of him ever using it, I'll say the Boss CE-1.
But on a more realistic note, it's probably something from MXR or Electro Harmonix since he used those brands for other pedals.
Nice info on his amps! Very nice! |

It looks like this wasn't the case though.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Prince Albert, Saskatchewan | | | I couldn't find anyone actually talking about him using rounds, and he's on the RotoSound website as an endorser/endorsee/user of the 77 flats.
However, I've been listening to his recent (2000-present) recordings, the In the Flesh album (recorded June 2000), videos of The Wall tour off youtube (2010-2011), bootlegs of the Dark Side of the Moon tour (2006-2008), and I think you might be right about the RotoSound rounds. His sound is alot more brighter, punchy and round sounding (just like the Swing 66's, as opposed to the 77 flats) compared to older stuff.
A good example of the "Round" sound is "The Happiest Days of our Lives", especially the intro. I tried it myself a few times (I have one bass with the Swing 66s, one with the Jazz 77s) and the one with the rounds sounds alot closer to his present sound, although I don't have a P or Ashdown/Ampeg amps. |

If I can come up with a source, I'll post more details.
Anyways, I like the sound of the Jazz77s better. Especially on a P-bass.
