Anybody know any clues on how to get a Hank Marvin like tone?
I have a VOX VT80+ right now and a strat with vintage pickups.
Ideas?

In brief, two delays in series. See this: The sound is more like Hank's if the delays are analog or they emulate analog so that the repeats are less bright than the original. —Insanitizers! http://www.insanitizers.com |

Nuts! It took me a half-hour the first time narrowing down my search to find exactly what I was looking for. And then "Copy Link" didn't work, so I accidently pasted in some meaningless text. The second time, I had two windows open, and accidently copied the link from this topic instead of the right one, completely by mistake. Now I can't remember how I found what I was looking for the first time. LOL! This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Last edited: Jun 10, 2014 17:34:54 |
