i have tried chorus reverb echo delay and combinations of them
hours at a sound shop trying to no avail. it is kind of like singing in side of an old tire i know that it is coming from the sound system but i can not duplacate it

Re: can't get the sound

You should find alot of clues here RStauffe;

There's alot of discussion of the Quonset Hut Nashville sound. The one effect I've found invaluable for country is compression. Now obviously the 50s producers didn't have compressors but it's reckoned that something in the construction of Gretsch and other semis introduce it and the original Fender Bassman tube design added it too...
