hello,Steve , how can I translate it into Spanish?
Hank Marvin has used numerous echo units over the years and it is a key part of his signature sound.
In this video I look at 6 units that have been produced over the years with the aim of replicating the sounds of the very early Meazzi drum echo units up to the Roland RE301 units that Hank used in the 80s period.
Sadly, Steve is no longer with us. He is missed, greatly.
Take a guess which is which.
A comprehensive list of units Hank Marvin used over the years available here courtesy of TVS speciality products.
Hello Steve, Hello estev, query: Where or how can you buy a Vox Echo effect or a Meazzi effect. Please provide an address to acquire what is requested, Thank you. My language is Spanish.. Waiting for your answer..

Yep the great ones are sadly disappearing fast but, the Strymon Volante is a great echo unit of recent times.

What do you think about the Blue Nebula?
@5455zgIl existe aussi "ZOOM RFX 2200" , "YAMAHA Magicstomp" et une petite pédale " STANLEY Blue Nebula V5" que je viens de recevoir. Le choix est vaste, les réglages et les doigts du musicien ont aussi ont aussi une grande importance !!!
@jacquestancrez2252R.I.P peace steve...a great loss to the guitar world ...thanks for everything mate
@tonycarpenter9043Interesting video Steve. I have the Zoom G3X. Do you happen to know if the Hall & Collins patches are available separately? There is no contact info on their website. Thanks.
@DelboywwwI like the sound of the zoom g3x very similar to the shadows how can we get the patches please.
@edwenrodriguez766Not forget the rubbish echoplex
@porscha901Whato Steve, I play wonderful land and apache etc and have a 1992 Hank signature and a 40th aniversary. Been playing for 58 years. I can now play any instrumental in the style of Hank which is good fun. I would say only the last unit did not sound as good. The others were so similar that with the backing music it would be hard to distinguish them. The audience probably don’t mind authenticity if it sounds really good. The multiple echoes need to stand out on the muted section which the last echo failed to do. Great video👍👍👍👍👍
@oldplucker1Give the 1st and 2nd anytime
@yu-jd5jgFirst by a mile Steve .Last one is a bucket job ! Original sound by far best
@Blackfive1945Hi Steve where is part 2 of this. Cheers Bob rowe. Sorry if I'm being thick.
@multitrackman8118So you are saying that with the Zoom G3X you can purchase patches for the shadows sound? Im seeing a lot of G3Xn available. would that work? Thanks for the helpful information.
@dansguitarheavenGeez, that Long Tom was a bit of a mess. Maybe it needed some service.
@BogusPompI would say that the first ones are the H&C,,,,
@stillrockin66Hello.. I want to buy a second hand a Guadraverb GT... Can I be sure, that "Echoes from the past is installed... ? or do I have to buy it...? If I had to buy it.. Where can I buy it.. ? and is it easy to install ... ? :-) Best regards Andreas (Denmark )
@andreaslauridsen9009I’ve got two Allessis quad gt’s with echoes from the past in them and played through an award sessionette 75 acetone amp modified to work in conjunction with the quad Gt
@peternewman3487bonjour,
je viens d'acheter une Quadraverb GT avec patchs EFTP Charlie Hall,
mon problème est que : quand j'ai sélectionné un morceau, je n'ai pas l'accompagnement escompté. Ai-je loupé une action ?
Merci de votre réponse .
Novice depuis 1963.
Is the G3 easy to program with the Ross Hall patches Steve? thanks :)
@thatpeterboyV
@davidfairbairn4556Tony Cooper 2019 : Hank also used a Roland Space Echo on live Stage shows for many years in a specially made angled box then his box grew and he then had 2 Roland space echo's one above the other for about five years at least.
@g3gthSteve, do you have to download a shadows patch to the unit zoom G3X or it has the sound itself?
@jaimereyes7924What is your opinion between Zoom G1, G2 and G3 Echosounds quality, are they basically same or? Thanks for your nice and good job.
@rilattiRainmaker?
@benpanceddThe cleanest purest sound is the Wem Copicat Hank used back in the day! Cant beat tape echo!
@scopex2749A friend used to have a Meazzi Factotum back in 1978. He played Albatros through a Vox AC 30 and the sound was amazing.
@pho2Hi Steve, are the Charlie Hall patches still available?
@alangriff1Is 3 the original quadraverb?
@bluemooncollisionI have the G7 and was never entirely happy with it ☹️
@ianbest4866Vox echo.
@ronnielees7420Hi mate, I'm completely new to playing a guitar only just purchased my electric stat copy, I do listen to a lot of shadows etc, right or wrong I would use myself number one echo sound, thanks p s only my opinion cheers.
@ronnielees7420steve you are saying that you had an TVS3 but not anymore
is it a good echo or is it simalar to the rest of your echo,s ?
I had a Zoom G1xon which you provided the patch for Steve, and it was very good. Now I have a Zoom G2 1u with EFTP installed going through a VOX AC15VR and for me, it's pretty damn good!!! I can never find a Meazzi, let alone afford one!!!!
@alexbetty5896Good video but where is the video where you reveal wich is wich?
@ubiratanguimaraes6996Definitely not the last one - it's far too tinny!
@bsul03420Ce serait pas mal de citer les machines utilisées dans la démo...
@jeanclaudeveriez9425Number one and three sound good to me. How about the Meazzi Factotum, just wondering if Hank used one of those back in the 60s ?
@pho2I used in the 60ies a WEM Echo device to play Shadows songs....
@uwetittmann1423I've got an old Watkins Copi Cat had it since 1967 did the Shadows stuff also used one on our PA. We made up new tapes using the HD reel to reel tapes from those big Akia type tape players. I rang Charlie Watkins in London from Darwin Australia around 1976, ( cyclone tracy had obliterated the place) . he airmailed me two packets of tapes cost 10 pounds, I still have them unused in there original packets. Things for the vid Steve, and nice playing as well.
@rossco289Great comparison thanks.
Does anyone here know how to rig up a zoom G3. Do I need a USB B to B data cable to connect to Katana 50 amp?
Thank you Steve, I have no idea, I just have one thought and that is that the third section was by far the worst sounding one, the others were quite similar.
@Henryk516Thanks Steve. Very informative. Using a G3X with EFTP and experimenting with VST. Have to get "that sound" :)
@byronmcduffy3485I wanted to buy the hall and collins.But after this comparison,i m not sure anymore.can you tell us now the number of each unit please?
@grigou35853Nice comparsion but why not overlay the names at the end of the video on a sample so everyone has at least an idea which is which?
@byronmcduffy3485Hi Steve ~ should all be?
