Hi,
I listened to his sound and although it’s a good sound it’s not an accurate representation of Hanks sound, if you listen there is a lot of compression on the biting of the strings.
There is nothing wrong with that as such, Mark Nophler uses it by the bucketful but it’s a more modern sound feature in my opinion.
I use lots of compression on my set up when not playing Shadows music, using an old Boss Me5, the closest I have heard is by suaragitar, very authentic but then again this topic can be never ending, check out Gary Taylor also.

hi pete,i would agree that its not representitive of hanks sound, rather its an over the top hank sound, which i like a lot. i just really wondered if anyone knew what amp and echo he used, out of interest, not going to try and sound like that, because as weve said on here before ,just having the gear wont make you sound the same.theres a scandinavian guy called ellert nordmark on utube, he has a similar BIG sound. ive never owned a compresor, maybe have to see if i can try one. cheers, andy.

Hi Andy,
Yes, I understand, a compressor is a great price of kit and most multi pedal boards have them in built, the quality determined by what machine you use.
I use an old Boss ME5, which was the one my late friend Norman Barratt used when backing Cliff for his Christian Rock concert, it had one of the best compressors in it.
Cheers
Pete
