thoz Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I'm trying to get an approximation of the lead guitar delay that Todd used on 'Bat Out of Hell' around the 9:00 mark, and also Peter Frampton style delay from most of 'Frampton Comes Alive'. I have a Helix and was wondering how others are getting close to these. Frampton's sounds like a shorter delay with a couple repeats to smear the sound a bit, while Todd's delay is a bit higher in the mix but I just can't seem to get close. Any ideas for starting points would be helpful. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randrewrussell Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Really good question. maybe around 240 ms ? I am looking at trying to get his FCA sound as well I know he used a Leslie with varying speeds. A phase 90. I am not sure which echo he used but I am guessing a Bin tape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codamedia Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 This is nothing fancy going on in term of delay. Choose a tape echo (there are a few in the Helix) and try to avoid any modulation or wow/flutter. Dial it in for 250ms - 350ms.... set it for 3-4 repeats, and keep it fairly low in the blend. It will smear the notes, but won't be an obvious delay unless you hit a staccato note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
