Baz, Yes indeed that garage....maybe some TV program can do a archaeology show and digging up the remains....of the parts that are not rotten away... George, It's nice to see your happy as Larry, because Hank used apparently a TS 9 or a other of that Ibanez family-tree...as a gizmo on his last album. Hank used multiple dozens of gizmo's in the past decades, as a extra device to give a special effect besides his main signal chain of clean and full sound. Just with a guitar, a volume pedal(sins late 60's) a echo and a amp (in the 70's he used a hidden MXR EQ in his AC30)...he gets the sound he wants. The biggest part of his sound is coming from his slender but very strong fingers(believe me or not, if he shakes your hand you know it!). BTW did you successfully contacted Viv by any chance? Cheers Rob

It might be a good idea to discuss a song in particular from a certain era,maybe from an album or a live performance,there's plenty of info out there covering Hanks 60 year career.

The fat sound is due to pushing the mids and reducing bass and treble frequencies with eq. You can also use a compressor and or a clean boost or turn the output up on the eq.
Several people have successfully recorded sound files of early Shads tunes and the elements tend to be eq, drive and tape saturation and compression. So if you want a similar sound live you have to use some of those elements on your pedal board and set the amp up right. People at our club do this regularly and some great sounds have been produced live.
An EQ pedal alone will get you 90% there.

In my opinion, I have always gone for the keep things simple and the most direct route, similar to the Hi Fi philosophy, the less in the chain the better. I used to use my Boss ME5 for the compressor but I got less bite from the plectrum on the strings and to be fair a lot of recordings, you can hear it, the plectrum flipping over the string instead of it attacking it with Bite??

Keep It Simple(stupid) is a good guideline....the more in the chain, the more can go wrong! True bypass isn't in every pedal,if all goes good... at least a extra device can bring a loss of some-kind when it's not in action, if not the pedal can bring a hum along So my chain is always basic and all pedals are in a switch/looper and if needed I just bring in the pedal in question.
Cheers Rob
