Hi Fran! I'm new to your channel. I am quite impressed with your passion for the subjects of your videos. However, since A) I am a big music historian, and B) also a big PITA (LOL) I have to be that guy… You mentioned the Shirelles, and Ronettes… they were produced by Phil Spector, who along with engineer Larry Levine recorded a great deal of music at Gold Star Studios, who were renowned for their completely ANALOG echo chamber… David Gold designed it himself, it allegedly was complementary trapezoids, the walls of which were covered in plaster and mounted on heavy isolation forms. When the studio closed, legend has it that he destroyed the echo chamber so no one else could copy it and replicate the sound… I look forward to more of your content…
They can be made cheaply too, but expensive ones apparently sounded better
I've heard that the "Schaller KV-40 / KV-50 Amp (the german answer to the fender twin reverb) has an rare built in echo plate inside
One thing I can't understand, why are you making these suitcases? Purely for fun?
I’m here via learning that Dan Lanois was always telling Eno and U2 to use plate echo sparingly or cut back to mono when they were after engaging Bono’s Joe Cocker mode —thus saving his lovely strain on tracks like Red Hill Mining Town.
Rob scallon video about reverb. What you have is reverb. Rob scallon talks all about reverb, and he sees the recording studio reverb you have. Thank you for sharing and showing reverb equipment.
so cool , try finding one, there is 1 for sale in America
Its plate reverb not an echo. I sounds great though
Yeah, but where’s the Frantone “Plecho” (plate echo) pedal? You’re welcome and 3% branding rights in perpetuity. The pedal art should feature turnbuckles in the corners.
I think I heard that Ace would use this during his solos
Wow that was Riders on the storm on STEROIDS, Yikes. Yeah the actual song does have quite the ambiance, Robbies guitar too, Kinda the bummer is Ray's keyboard kinda drowns out Robbies parts. I always wondered what PLATE reverb was, Thanks FRAN!!!! You Rock.
It's amazing how far effects have come. That thing is a "Boat Anchor!"
That song at the end is wonderful! Dig it!
Cool Bees! Great video! That reverb sounds frantastic!
Damn!! I was raised believing Art dangled Paul Simon by his ankles into a lift shaft to get that reverb..oh well
absolutely love your speaking voice
