Dialling vintage gentle echoes like Metheny and Latimer

[Chalky]

Hi, I’m after two echo effects (I) I’m trying to find that soft dreamy under-stated echo that people like Andy Latimer used in 70’s, and also Hank Marvin on some songs. I understand that Latimer used two Chandler stereo echo units, and so I reckon H9 might get close. (ii) Pat Metheny uses a PCM 90 to get his dreamy wobbly chorussy echo, again very understated.

Long shot, but has anyone tried to emulate either of these?

I actually don’t know either of those guys- but when I am tryna be ‘understated’ I ususally use the DUCKED delay.  Its awesome, and you can dial the sensitivity in very precisely. And if you flip to vamping, the delay just goes away. It’s nice.

Here is Metheny describing his setup.
