Hi Could anyone please advise me if a Boss RE20 would be suitable for Hank's modern sound.
Many thanks
George

Hi George,
I have one.
It is a nice echo machine, but not very suitable for Shadows- and Hank's sounds. The head spaces don't suite. One can get close to the echo's of Atlantis, Wonderland etc, but they are not right. Apache is the best to achieve.
For the real echo's I use my Atlantis 1.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Emiel

Hi Could anyone please advise me if a Boss RE20 would be suitable for Hank's modern sound. Many thanks George It's suitable for Hank's modern sound, at the time he was using Roland tape echo units (around 1980-1995), but it's not suitable for Hank's vintage sound. I have a few friends who got one and liked it in the beginning, but who didn't kept it, as they were mostly interested in Hank's early sound. Didier |

Hi George,
Hank used meanly the Roland 301. The Boss RE20 is a 201 with different head spacing.
I heard that the new Catalinbread Echorec is very good for about the same price.
It is a clone of the famous Binson Echorec with 4 heads and 12 settings.
Regards,
Emiel

As Hank was using these units around the time you say. Would that be the unit used on Hank Plays Live?
I am currently playing around with JamUp Pro on my iPad, and this has a Roland Tape Echo sim.
I would guess that it would be possible to play the older number from that set with the modern sound if that's the only echo unit Hank was using at the time.
Tim.

Hi Tim
As far as I know Hank used the 301 meanly and for a small time the 201.
The echo's as on Atlantis, Peace Pipe can not be done with a 201, (Boss RE20).
Regards,
Emiel
