For the last couple of years I've been messing about with a couple of echo units/pedals..real tape and analog and digital..now mostly use an El Capistan and sometimes a Yamaha Magicstomp loaded with the "Echos From The Past" patches by Charlie Hall. Recently I found out about a pedal called the Gemini III that is not an echo but when added to the chain with one can nail the Hank Marvin tone...and more. Here's a note I wrote to the maker in the UK
Ace pedal David...always a treat when a new link is added to the chain that really does open some sonic doors. Much to try out but so far using the Echos From The Past programs, the Gemini added that hollow timber that nailed it. That said, when put in front of the El Capistan set for a worn tape setting and with a touch of reverb the results were very charming to say the least. Thus far only played a Strat , a Yamaha SG-2 and a braitone with the set up ..looking forward to the Rick 12 and Gretsch. My favorite tone was with a a baritone guitar loaded w/Lipstick pups...no sound samples yet but with the Gemini/El Cap/Bari and dialed into into a Gomez G-Reverb (think 12 watt Princeton w/ a 15" JBL w/ a pinch of reverb..I got into this neighborhood....I'm stoked! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYY9shEXvnk https://sslrelay.com/www.gemini3.eu |
