Nothing but awesome - May I ask was that a Long Tom echo you were using? Sparks

Hi Sparks

Thannks for your awesome comments mate..much appreciated!

The echo for Fort Knox was copied off the original recording which used a Long Tom Unit, so in actual fact it is an exact replica of the Long Tom patch.

I used a TVS3 analog echo machine which has the same sound as my PA306 Meazzi but when using a Long Tom patch through it can give an authentic Long Tom sound.
My guitar is a Japanese 57 Reissue Fender with 57/62 pickups on board and my amp is a Laney VC 30. I could probably get a better sound with a vintage vox or even a Vox clone.

From the samples people who own Vox Long Tom machines have sent me, I found the sounds of Meazzis and Vox Long Toms to be are very similar.
The advantage I have is that the TVS3 contains replicated echoes from the early Shadows vinys aka drum Meazzi, early Atlantics vinyls aka Klempt echolette, early group "1961" aka Vox Long Tom, and others like Binsons, Rolands, etc....

Cheers
Spike
