In the September 1998 Guitar World interview, Reed describes the Olson, Sunrise pickup and Tone King combination, then explains that Pete Cornish built a two-knob Feedbucker after the same setup fed back at New York's Supper Club. The interview presents that device as the solution that enabled the subsequent amplified-acoustic project, while Cornish's client register independently records both a two-channel Feedbucker and acoustic-guitar preamp in 1997. The Royal Festival Hall recording date comes from the Perfect Night archive. Only the source-described feedback processor is drawn: the separate preamp is omitted because the interview does not establish whether it was in this concert path, and no source exposes the box's internal filter order or exact frequency settings.
