I need to find a Hank Marvin tape echo sound, circa 60/61. I borrowed a Valvtronix and can get something recognizable, but wonder if anyone has a plugin preset/patch that does it well, so I can tweak settings easily after recording. (Doesn't matter what the plugin is, as long as I can buy or rent it at a reasonable price).

A hardware'software solution—inexpensive if you can borrow the Zoom hardware.

More discussions and suggestions including that Hank used a heavy gauge (for an electric) string set with a wound 3rd and a multi-tap echo. There's a video of Hank describing his setup, too.

Here's a video on the Stanley Baby Blue. Good luck finding one in the States. They're normally built to order and he's gone on holiday for awhile.

Hadn't considered the zoom. I think I can get hold of one. Thanks.

I got the strat/vox/heavy string combination, and watched a couple of HM videos on the setup. I think the one I'm looking for would be sim of a tape echo with 5 heads.

Makes sense. The PSP 608 MultiDelay does up to 8. There's a 14 day demo if you don't have it already.

*Up to 8 seconds of delay time per channel
*Continuous control over the delay time in milliseconds and/or chosen quantize note
*Three operation modes: Multidelay, in which each tap has its own feedback buffer; Multitap, in which the Master Feedback operates on one (user selectable) tap; and MultiFB, where switches the tap off not switch the feedback signal off
*Each tap included independent adjustment of the following: gain, stereo field width and balance, delay time, filtering, modulation, saturation simulation and reverberation
*Each tap can choose between multiple quadruple biquadratic filter types, including: Low Pass, Band Pass, High Pass, PEAK filter and four Shelf filters
*Modulation section (LFO and envelope follower) offer adjustable modulation depth of 3 octaves, and can be selected for filter cutoff
*Tape saturation simulation with adjustable gain based on the algorithm used in our mastering processors
*Filtering module in feedback includes LP, BP, HP filter (either State Variable Filter or Biquad) with adjustable cutoff and resonance
*Vintage reverberation module for faithful simulation of spring and plate reverbs
*Support for sample rates of up to 192kHz
*Host and MIDI automation of all processing
