EVH with a Wampler Tape Echo

Post by T.J.Fuller » Sat Feb 06, 2016 4:49 pm

Hey guys , been a long while since posted anything on the forum
moved to Denver about a year or so ago.

So have been building up the gear again while out here

Hope everyone doing well --- still see some familiar names floating around !

Since this is my favorite place for all things Van Halen / thought I would post a brief 1 minute clip

of a recent addition to my pedal board - Wampler Faux Tape Echo /

really wanted to get a Strymon unit but, heard Brent Mason demo this pedal on YouTube and thought I would try it out

Dialing in that very elusive EVH one repeat echo that is just behind the is about impossible but, I think I got it
the very last portion of clip is some Voodoo Queen riffage that makes the repeats pop.

oh yeah - the Flanger is an old school DOD AC powered Flanger --- Had one when I was younger and just grabbed another.

here is link to clip

TJ,

That sounds pretty good but more like reverb than an echo. Do you or can you set a specific delay time or is it just turning a knob. I think that's what makes the Echoplexes so wonderful in their simplicity. Pretty easy to dial in one slap. Here is what I use as a guide from 1977.

"If you make a mistake, do it twice and smile and let people think you meant it." Jan Van Halen.

That is an excellent sound quality reference that rgorke posted. It sounds to my ear like two fast, hazy slaps.

Roger
That is the reference I do use also
Awesome you would post that

When I made clip , I split track and did add
Reverb

Should not done that

Probably didn't help demonstrate the effect
