Members MKaneJeeves Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 I've been trying to get Shawn Lane's sound for sometime and after doing some research, live he mostly used two amps, either two Holmes or a Holmes and a Gjika amp. According to a source, he would have two delay pedals,one to split the amp a few ms and one for overall delay. Here's a video of him at soundcheck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EdjMLguYsk. Looking at this video and some others, it looks like he uses two Boss DD-2's or DD-3's. Since I never used delays until recently, does anyone know how to dial in settings on their Boss delay pedals to get an approximation of Shawn's sound? How do you set it up with one to split the amps and one for overall delay? Any help would be appreciated; thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shredhead7 Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 A great delay setting for lead playing is to have the delay time set between 320-400 ms, with 20-30% regeneration (2 or 3 repeats), and mix to taste (usually 10-20% effect). This will put the delay far enough away from the pick attack and low enough in the mix that what you end up with is a great big sound, without getting muddy. Every one from Petrucci to Steve Vai uses this setting. Shawn's sounds very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MKaneJeeves Posted March 4, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 4, 2012 Thanks for the tips but I think he's using two delay pedals simultaneously. Any clue on what the settings are with the second delay pedal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
