Used the Magicstomp, later the Zoom g3x with EFTP patches etc. I had the guitars (Fender, the red one, tried out various pickups and different strings. A dozen years ago I played the guitar and was under the spell to get the 'real' shadows sound. Hi Ronnie, just like you probably, I am also a big fan of The Shadows (of course I have my age). Play Staccato or Legato to get the full sound or so called hammer on effect (property of SA guitar voices).Īll you have to do is play in Hank's style. Simulate the yammy bar by using aftertouch (optimised in Regs.) If you do want to change ensure the new style chorus is set to TempoTremolo and the sends for R1,2,3 are set at 64.īend up using normal SA guitar playing techniques,īend down using glide applied by the sustain pedal (already set in the regs. Muted in R3.īear in mind the voices are also modified by the chorus set in the styles so if you change to a different style the guitar may not sound quite the same. R1 Gtr has a bit more distortion when chording and more Echo. Reg2- Switches straight to Muted Gtr with Echo. You can try R2 which contains the preset voice for comparison. Reg1- Uses a legacy DSP to modify the sound of R1. If you do not want these to alter your split point, make sure you have a tick in Parameter lock next to Split Point.Īs often happens the preset voices can be understated so these regs contain extensive edits. So if you want some easily tried registrations I have attached them here as a zip. * = Can Of Worms - I'm trying to make it A Thing.Some time ago on Tyros I made some registrations to emulate the Marvin sound and have recently updated them. Anyone who was asked, 'Can you do me a slightly pinky red?' might well hae ended up supplying something that could be described as Salmon pink - or Coral, or Flamingo! According to contemporary accounts, they weren't too choosy about what sort of reds they used. The situation is further clouded, on this side of the pond at least, by the importers, who refinished loads of new Strats in various shades of red, because in the early 60s everybody wanted red ones.

Or perhaps a batch of paint arrived in the wrong color but they decided to use it anyway (we all know how, er, frugal Leo was). Well leaving aside the fact that memory is seldom color-fast, neither is photographic film, and the guitar itself has now been refinished so there's no point even looking at that!), I wonder if it may have been a custom job that for some reason the original owner never collected. Hank himself has always said it was a different color from Fiesta Red. Nobody knows what color Hank's original 1958 Strat was. Any guitar that could be described thus would have been a true custom job. There never has been a Salmon Pink (or as I have also seen it called, Coral Pink) in Fender's range. Fiesta Red/Salmon Pink has always been a COW.*
