Zoom 508 FDP

Welcome to the Zoom 508 FDP echo controls settings!

This site is dedicated to a group of guitarist playing the music of Hank B. Marvin and the Shadows. The vintage echo's used in this type of music is accurate emulated through the Zoom 508 FDP as developed and programmed by a group of shadowmusic afficionados trying to find the best echo for some known tunes and publishing them in the RFX2000 and other echoes MSN site.

During the activities to create the patches we had many very different opinions in the interpretation of the echo in those tunes but the atmosfere was great and we had lot of fun doing it! Pancho Francisco Diaz Paniagua (Pancho) kindly rejoined all those personal experiments in a excel sheet. Today that file is here for people to download it. You may want to modify the settings to your liking and if it is possible, communicate your settings to the 508 Zoom Forum so we can add your own settings to that database. Panco

In order to assure that the Zoom 508 FDP community can use the exact settings for the available backing tracks this site offers a common understanding of the required settings. Moreover, this site allows the user community to share the information so both the availability and the quality of the settings are always kept optimal.

The Zoom 508 is a DSP version of the tape and disc-echoes like those that were used ( Hank Marvin) in the past.
