Great stuff Pete. Beautiful tune that is for sure. You do a great version of it and love the violin guitar effect you get.
Do you use a pedal or your pinky on the volume? I find the pinky much more responsive than the pedal. Just the way I started,too miserable to buy an effects unit
I'll need to dig out a bt for that today and give it a go

Now I do know where you were talking about....haha

I'm using a volume pedal Hugh...

And the BT is my own...

Thanks for listening !

Hi Pete,
That's a beautiful recording of a soulful, emotional tune that's so sensitively played. I've been listening to many of the tracks on your site recently and the slower ballads in particular, such as this one. Having read the details regarding your guitar etc, I'm intrigued by the lingering deep sustain you achieve with reverb (or echo?) on many of your recordings, of which this track is a prime example. Can I ask how you've achieved this particular effect?
Kind regards,
Martyn

Superb Peter.
Dont know this tune but A great piece of music and wonderful production.
Great tone and sustain to die for.
cheers

It's kinda easy Martyn........carefully add a single (different) tap echo with no feedback to the left and right of the stereo track....(I've got no fixed value of this tap, just tweaking till I'm satisfied with the effect...)
Fur this purpose I'm using the stereo Line 6 Flextone on stage with the same result...

sssssttttt......

Thanks to all for these kind words !

Said it all along, Pete's lead has a 2 echo system running. You can hear it time and again and that's why Pete's work stands out from the rest on Shad stuff.

Try it yourself---double track with 2 echo's running--just experiment for God's sake.

Well my internet service has been down for four days otherwise I would have responded earlier, but it has at least given me time to calm down a little.
I could (and do) experiment until the cows come home but asking Peter for specific information seemed the quickest and most sensible option.
But unless you wrote your last sentence without thinking first as to how it might sound, I wonder why you thought it necessary to come back with such a seemingly hostile and rude response, given it wasn't actually directed to you in the first place? Your evident irritation should be directed elsewhere if you're having an off day - please find someone else to have a poke at if you feel an overpowering urge.

So, to Peter:
I've tried combining my Magicstomp echoes with variations of those buit into my TonelabST, plus its stereo reverb in order to blend the sound further and it's not too bad but I don't seem to get the glassy smoothness of your methods. I'm not too technically favoured so please bear with me for what may seem a silly question: I don't quite follow your "carefully add a single (different) tap echo with no feedback to the left and right of the stereo track....".
I'd always assumed 'feedback' was the duration of echo or sustain but maybe I've misunderstood the terminology. Are you adding these echoes to the recordings after playing dry? I was hoping to simulate the sounds live, whilst playing and you say you're using the Flextone on stage so how do you play twin tracks together with differing echoes assigned to each?
Thanks for your patience.
Kind regards,
Martyn

Quick update: just been reading reviews of the Flextone 111 Plus range and I presume, it being a stero amp, it allows you to allocate different echoes to each channel?
