[kipper]

hi charlie and all. thanks for the patches charlie i am just loading them now. i am still playing around with the zoom but i am very impressed with the g2 its great value for the money, and together with your patches is far better than i thought it would be, and its a very compact and portable bit of gear. so thanks again peter ;D

Hi Peter,
Thanks for reporting your findings and good to know you are pleased.
The G2 is a good little unit, for other styles the amp modelling is useful too, especially the US Blues amp model with gain set fairly high, for clean sounds by backing off the guitar volume and for sustain and subtle overdrive by turning the guitar volume up, the thing that impressed me most of all though was the good balance between rhythm and lead levels when doing that.
Regards,
Charlie

Hi Charlie

It`s Great you find the Zoom G2 a good little unit. Since I bought it I still am finding my way around the unit for that ( near ) Perfect sound.
While on here re: G2 unit as you know I have your EFTP patches, I cannot find the patch for Shads number A Place in the Sun.
And if it was available could a Wah Wah effect be used for the opening part of the tune.
What Patch also would be suitable for early Cliff Richard tunes such as Please Dont Tease...... Move It ..... Where is my Heart.
Sorry Peter for using your Thread.

Regards

Ronnie

Hi Ronnie,
Try C3 for A Place In The Sun. The effect is a DeArmond tone/volume pedal. I wouldn't use a wah wah, it's too extreme an effect, a volume pedal swell would be closer, or a real DeArmond tone/volume pedal, but they are hard to find, old, and expensive if you do find one. Fender make one that is supposed to be close. Or if you are good at it, you could wrap your little finger around the guitar volume pot and make volume swells (violin effect) with that, it will cost nothing but it's hard to do.
You can use A7 for most Cliff vocal version numbers. As instrumentals it requires a different approach sometimes so best to ask for suggestions for a particular instrumental version.
Regards,
Charlie

Thank You Charlie for your Reply.
I always thought Hank used a Wah wah effect but as you say Volume Swell sounds like it.

I guess my wife could Turn the Vol Knob on The Guitar when I wink at her at the right moments.

Hi Ronnie,
Actually the tone knob on the guitar would be more like the correct effect, the problem is you can't reach either one on a Strat while playing, and the bridge pickup doesn't usually have a tone control without modifying the wiring a little.
The DeArmond tone/volume pedal could do tone changes with a sideways movement of the pedal, and volume changes with up and down movement of the pedal. That particular design does make the guitar quieter but some players who have one do like the tone effect it produces.

Charlie
