Howzat Solo

[serge20261]

The band is Sherbet the song is Howzat (Aussie band)

Could anyone please help me with this solo tone particularly the intro I know there’s probably overdubbing etc I’m just after the reverb settings etc it doesn’t have to be exact just in the ball park solo tone

I've played that one with Daryl Braithwaite (singer of Sherbet) many times. I think Harvey James recorded the original on that '60s Strat that he modded. You can hear two distinct lead lines bouncing off each other with a fair amount of reverb. You could do that with verb and bring in/out harmony line with the pitch shift.

When I've had to play it I just use an OD (SD-1 will do) into something like a Deluxe Reverb with a quarter note delay. Harvey used to run a phaser as well and you can hear a little envelope filter happening right before the solo in the octave/Jacksons-style part.

I'll pull it apart again today and see if I can help with the harmony component. If so, I'll post it here later on.
