just thought i'd fire this in here.....
i've kinda got the effect; using the pitchshifter preset on the KP and tapping the pad. i sampled the tapping sequence using the Pad Motion switch, and sellotaped it down...
tracking problems and tone-sucking aside, what do you think?

to do this properly (and to maintain guitar tone) i'd guess you'd need to pre-amp the guitar before DI'ing it into the KP; i simply did this recording by taking a line from my amp's line out socket into the Line In on the back of the KP-2.
it's a bit of hassle to set this up so i'd assume bellamy doesnt create the effect using a KP2, cos otherwise he'd have to tap in the sequence perfectly pre-song and hold this sequence throughout the song. Looking at the M1D1, it doesnt seem to have the Pad Motion function (this hold a sequence on the pad, ie it remembers your movements for a period of time), so it would have to be performed on the KP2 unit itself with someone holding down the little Pad Motion lever for the whole song.
if its the KP, what are the bets on it being operated by a tech somewhere?.....but my guess it defo is not the kaoss pad, despite the fact the sound could probably be recreated on it.
