Everything you wanted to know about tape echo ...

... but felt such a fool for asking.

I bet you've never heard of some of these - I know I hadn't!

Nice to see the Shads get a mention, shame he got it wrong (COPICAT?!)

Problem is, it's full of inaccuracies. I saw it ages ago when it came out.
You Tube has become a haven for wannabe TV personalities who really need to apply more 'due diligence' in their research.

I notice you're always so quick to jump on here and remind us that you know more than anyone else.

I also notice you didn't bother to mention any of the 'inaccuracies.'

That clip has been on YouTube nearly four years and is probably 50% correct factually. Having discussed the Ray Butts echo that Chet Atkins used when I was in Nashville and getting the facts from Chet's own documents, I do feel qualified to contribute in that area, as is the same with Charlie Watkins, having worked with him and being given comprehensive facts personally about his range of Copicat echo machines. I also had a spell working along side Alan Jackson who as an expert on all things Binson, Meazzi, Roland, et al, gave me lots of useful knowledge on these products, about their merits as well as faults. That said, I've used my knowledge gained from these and many more people to enhance and help others on this site, which incidentally is what it exists for.
Now tell me, what is your problem Steve?
