Like in this video (Newton Abbot solo set) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO1kuian4OA

I've always been seeking this type of tone. Anybody knows delay and reverb settings to achieve this type of sound?

What i do to get a pretty decent Dev-ish sound, is i plug my acoustic straight into my Allen&Heath mixer and put a fair amount of "Arena (size)" effect on and it gives a really good reverb sound. I put a little less on vocals and it usually turns out great.
This is a pretty bad example, but it gives an idea http://soundcloud.com/hyper-explosive/t ... other-time

Sounds like almost 100% decay on the reverb, and a tap tempo with 3-4 repeats.

I will see if I can replicate it when I'm with my gear.

It also helps to have a Composite Acoustics guitar.

Rain Song make a really nice carbon fibre guitar but CA have improved on the sound and especially the plugged in sound. The tone in that vid is damn close to mine with *no* other effects. Some reverb and a careful delay, plus having Dev's skill and I could replicate this.

Also, someone should post a tab or the basic chords for Stagnant. Hint hint...?

Dev's acoustic tone is immense. I think was using an Fractal Audio Axe FX-II when I saw him at his last acoustic gig. That thing is beautiful.
