Hi Len, Nice to here from you, yes re EQ, I think I’ve cracked it as they say, I don’t alter anything apart from the volume pot and Cut control. I find that gives me a very good representation overall, I keep my Bass and treble setting in the same position, on the EF86 channel I back off in the cut control for the likes of Gonzales, Man mystery etc, for ‘Tonight’ and similar I use more cut, that gives me a pretty good ballpark.
Cheers Peter

Hi there, I don’t know about others but I have found, the more gadgets/boxes plug ins I have in the chain, the more the sound is lost. Does anyone else find that? For me, the sound has to be picked up and then has to travel and as it does it breaks down until it reaches its destination, does that make sense to anyone ha ha. I try to keep my chain as simple and as direct as possible. Pete

Hi Charlie, Thanks for your comment, Yes I guess that’s pretty badly right and must admit I find myself doing this and the venue dictates how I set it. Cheers
Hi Baz, Well, it’s still sounding great, I used it in a none Shads role on Saturday at a music festival backing up an EXFactor finalist and it delivered the goods, I get funny looks when other musicians see me using an old Boss Me5 but they are great, not found anything better for the Rock/varied music situation. Cheers

Hi everyone, A subject I haven’t seen covered here as to how we all have our settings/ EQ on our AC30, on normal channel and with the EF86 mod. Would be great to know, I am constantly re adjusting my settings, I’m using 56NOS Strat AC30/ EF86 mod and H&C. Great to here what people think is the best settings. Cheers Peter

Hi Andy, Possibly it was to fall in line with the Current Mersey beat sound of that particular Era, a uniformity sound not too much out of the ‘with it’ at that time. I think the Burns sound certainly had its place but for me it was never ‘That Sound’ he had originally with the Strats.

Hi folks, Great night we had last night playing the Shadows music at the open mic night, the night was Live streamed. It can still be viewed on Facebook at Rainford Junction Pub, Tuesday live stream. I was Hosting it last night and we played at the first part and at the end of the night to finish off, although we hadn’t played as a Band for some time, we did pretty well, the sound didn’t come over as it should on the live stream recording but certainly listenable. Let me know your thoughts Peter A L.

Hi, Have always argued that it is possible to get a really perhaps, authentic sound in a live performance but we are at the mercy of having a general EQ overall fir every effect we use on stage. However, we also know that fir every effect Hank used in the studio, then an EQ was set for each individual track recorded. This means that, possibilities of getting an accurate sound at home may be possible but certainly not on stage, I don’t think the Shadows at any point in their career n live performances would ever have achieved an accurate sound of their studio performance. The reasons being as above, re general EQ for everything and it was also know that very rarely did Hank adjust anything on the echo unit in the early days when playing live. What do people think?

Hi all, Apologies re last nights livestream, we only managed about 4 or 5 Shadows numbers at our open mic night, we had a few singers and musicians in so we had to let them get up to do their performances. We had a great night and the livestream worked too, particularly enjoyed playing Brick in the wall ‘ Pink Floyd’, did any one manage to catch it last night? If you want to look up the video, it’s on the ‘rainford junction pub Facebook page.
Cheers Pete

Hi everyone, Apologies for last night, we had a spike and it caused lots of problems, we lost the Livestream and played havoc with our PA mixer etc. Hopefully we should be back to normal by next week, was very disappointing for everyone but we still did the music and had a great time doing that.
Cheers Peter.

Hi Charlie, Thanks for that, I have been switching between 9 and 10 and wasn’t sure which to use but I would imagine it would sound pretty much right with as you suggest to take off the Echo level slightly. Thanks for your help
