vox long tom MK2

[mannes]

i bought today an vox long tom mk2 this echo wasnt used for 10 years

the owner past away 10 years ago so i had the uppertunity to buy it for a nice price

there was in the past Nico nelson in holland he made from the  short tom a long tom
many bands in the past used this nico nelson
bands like the Boys from belgium (johnny de hondt) the redstrats fbi (roy soerioroseno)
i have 2 adresses in holland to bring it over for a good check so thats okay

the question is wat kind of modifications are there for the vox long tom to get close to hanks soud or that sound??

and maybe an schematic if sombody here have an schematic or tips for some mods

there is onw modification on the vox 1 switch to get also meazzi sound

i want to sound more like robby suargitar and ronnie gustafson
butt i dont know with mods there will be needed
kind regards mannes

Hi again Mannes,

The best mod to do on a tape echo is to install a switch for each playback tape head so each head can be turned on or off according to the echo pattern you need and there other mods that can be done to obtain better results. Paul Rossiter from TVS in Australia modified the Longtom Robby Januarsa uses. There is Per Olaf Alm in Sweden who is a good audio technician and he fixes Echo units and here in the UK Amanda Hambridge is the expert for this sort of work.
