[@TheRycooder]

There's ALWAYS assholes on KZbin, please don't let them EVER get into your head. WE LOVE WHAT YOU DO! LOVE YOUR HEART and SOUL! Rock on Uncle Larry!❤

[@SteveSterlacci]

Show and Tell with Uncle Larry needs to happen more often! Thanks for this!

[@JB_Eckl]

SO GOOD

[@dodgedandle8311]

An Echoplex is like a Drunk guy looking for a fight 🤣😂🤣🥸 Love it 😂🤣

[@davidt9841]

You’re full of surprises Tommy! I don’t know what pops into your head that prompts you to share the things you decide to share on any given day, but I think it’s great, and I’m sure everyone appreciates it! Carry On, my Friend! I love what you do! 👍🎸✌️😎

[@alangunn3850]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing! I had a 101 that I had to sell in my mid 20's to buy diapers and regretted it ever since. Lately I've been into old Klemt/Dynacord units - crazy tones! Thanks again!

[@chrisbrowning6102]

This was damned interesting. I'm an appreciator, not a player, but I enjoy getting the scoop on how gear works.

[@Tonyscalo]

Damn that bright echo with the treble dimed and bass off sounds surprisingly cool. Like transistor radio-like in the best way. Also, that's probably the coolest slapback I've ever heard.

[@oldschooljamify]

Damn sitting here in my headphones that thing sounds awesome! thanks for the walk through, quite cool!

[@limpindug]

Another great skool day thanks mate. Sweet unit, but best bit is hearing you consign the arse wipes to the thunderbox. You've made an old punter happy. (me) respect to you Tom.

[@DaveElke]

Now that’s how you use that box! Killer session

[@johnnyfardukisjr3417]

First time caller, but long-time listener. Just wanted to say thanks for all the videos. I really enjoy your great playing and instruction, but I absolutely love the “day in the life” episodes.

[@JFLABBERVILLE]

As he casually leans on a guitar that I would die to own :-) please never stop doing what you do Tom.

[@DainisKaulenas]

LOVE Show n’ Tell! Never managed to get my hands on one of these, appreciate the occasional gear lesson.

[@tommyguidry1504]

I remember my dad coming home with one just like that. He was gigging. I was 16 maybe. It was at the very beginningof my addiction to geetar. And he just sat there for hours watching me tinker with it and his Tele. Still have the Tele.

[@ae3898]

Hey, Tom-love, love, LOVE your channel and only fairly recently discovered it. I’ve worked in public k-12 education for almost 25 years now-and there’s always a handful of critics, complainers, and outright haters who repay the soulful self-giving of the teacher with small-hearted bitterness and sterility. For every nattering nabob of negativity there are 100 or more who are unspeakably grateful in spite of the fact that they never speak up to say so. Ever hear the Bible story of Jesus healing the ten lepers? 9 of them ran off cured and never looked back; only one of the returned to say thank you. In my teaching experience 1 in 10 would be an almost impossibly high gratitude ratio…. Thank you for the generous gift of yourself and your knowledge through this channel.

[@nortin1o]

lately I have been clinging to my guitar more than ever thanks for this.

[@longotown]

sippin my Maxwell house too, diggin this vibe! I still have my old echoplex from back in the day. Just got it all dialed in, and tuned up. Glorious

[@Astral-Rek]

Love episodes like this

[@jamisonmp]

Mannn.... I've been waiting for this. I commented some time ago asking when you were going to do it. As a self professed Delay nut this was so pluckin' cool to see. Thank you for all that you do. In these bleak times you are a beacon of inspiration. We love you.

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

Holy Moly Mister Tom, what a lovey piece of gear. Thanks for sharing that with us.

[@leonardosiqueira2610]

Uncle Larry, thanks again! That was really cool! Killer slap back sound

[@alexwood8555]

Dude this video came out the DAY i was looking around for one.. Reading my mind dude, absolutely awesome video.

[@tszegvary]

Good to see you Uncle Larry! I got a little worried after yesterday's video if we ever get to see you again!! 😅

[@kendo1159]

Cool to see the channel namesake effect

[@michaeledmonds9203]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[@JiminTennessee]

Naysayers help with humility, which is a good thing. You have already posted enough for me to learn from for the next 20 years, and by then I'll probably be dead :) Thanks Tom!!!

[@millslogan3750]

All of my old tape echos Ive bought from you!! RE 501, EP 1 and an EP 2. Lovely old tape delays!!

[@Deliquescentinsight]

thanks for the video Tom, I have often wondered about these devices, as you say they are 'classic'

[@jackstanton9955]

So cool! Thanks, Larry

[@elvisvendel6074]

I love you larry, the way this yoga gets you lost into all the details. Thats how to go through life - busy with passion. I resonate with that. Love seeing you work. Dont bother about the haters. The show's for you before its for us anyways man. Take care.

[@matthewdean5807]

yay ! we get to hear the 501 chorus echo... this is killer thank you

[@StanleyCullerEsq.]

Man, this is so fantastically generous. Thanks, buddy.

[@ryanjohnson985]

Appreciate the great explanation on the chorus and all of its features. Much appreciated, Tom.

[@paddyclint]

The comment about not having Instagram spoke to the grumpy old shite in my soul. You keep doing you UL!

[@dougberry5003]

Great sounds, Very Pink Floyd-ish !!! Lov it !

[@devindoherty184]

incredible to learn about such an awesome piece of gear from a pro like Tom. thank you internet!

[@thomasmcgill6918]

Hi Tom, what a great piece of gear. Im surprised I never knew about this. When I was a kid, I was always looking for and creating crazy sophisticated sounds. Thanks again for this great channel... You are the best.

[@mrredritehand]

Hello bro thomas, his channel is great isn't it? I believe he could bring new meaning to "monetized", if he was so inclined.

[@thomasmcgill6918]

@@mrredritehand Agreed

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

Instantly one of my favorite episodes 👍🤟

[@keithoneill3076]

I vote for this as your best video description yet

[@MeinFiesesEgo999]

What a cool Episode. Uncle Larry rules!

[@mrredritehand]

That's the coolest fuggin thing I've ever seen. Is this the climax of your channel dude? Most awesome thing I've ever laid my eyes on, I thought "501CE" just stood for a vintage little boss pedal that I'd never be able to afford. This is like going to friends house and Bam, he's got a damn millennium falcon! And you've seen the preview for Star Wars or whatever movie it was in ha ha. Tom you're the coolest kid on the block hands down, especially with toys like that. Your channel rocks! Edit: Quick question tho, can I have that? You know you're my favorite Uncle! 😁 Seriously cool unit, I'm floored after watching the whole video, I just like analog and Roland stuff.

[@TeleCS]

Awesome.....awesom....aweso.....awes....awe....aw....a....

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

Thanks for the tour. Much appreciated

[@georgespencer3973]

Thank you for the echo tour, Tom!

[@gavinmacfarlane7044]

Great video. Every day Uncle Larry pops his head around the door is a good day.

[@markhaskinsmusic7637]

Full of very cool gear and just useful stuff. But the neatest thing is this is what you named your KZbin channel after! That is more than beyond amazing. I can’t even begin to describe how much I’ve learned from what you share… dam man!

[@thestereoclub6735]

That was really fun. The handful of notes from "Walking on the Moon" lit up a bunch of very old memories.

[@davidbrewer7109]

Just saw part of your Killer Jimmy page at Family Gras, gave me goosebumps dude.

[@oboyy]

Kids sharing their new toy with friends vibe, love it:D

[@physiciansassist1]

Hell yes Tio.... finally putting the 501 up. I still have JZ's, use it live and just love it..

[@leeharper8363]

Always look forward to the next video Tom, you're an inspiration

[@totalmink]

that thing + unc is f*in beautiful

[@chuckg3475]

The best Larry, just the best!

[@RustyStrings1]

Hey Tom, excellent as always. You must have plenty more interesting gear that we'd love to see/hear!

[@drapp1477]

Really cool piece of equipment that I didn’t know about. Thanks for the rundown.

[@bolivarvera9078]

now that was a great lesson uncle Larry, thanks!

[@chriscottguitar4287]

This is so cool to see one of these up close and personal like this. Thanks for showing us, Larry!

[@VonBluesman]

Thanks for the great demo and explanation of the 501. The Hello hello hello reminds me when James Boogaloo Bolton’s band showed up. He has played with, BB King band leader 30 plus years, Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Issa Hayes, Supremes, The Spinners, James Brown, etc They show up for a mic check and the multi talented, charming personality, sax player, singer, songwriter, Evelyn Rubio kept on saying hello hello hello in the mics and me acting silly kept on hollering back Helllllllloooooo Laaaaddy. LOL It was a great festival, beautiful music, great weather, a good time had by all. Thanks.

[@peterb7435]

I love this kind of stuff. Thanks unk

[@peterb7435]

Love that deluxe btw

[@drivenmad7676]

Soooo cool Uncle Larry!!!

[@ralphtimewell2745]

Thanks Tom you do a great job and I'm sure we are all appreciative for your time on making these video's.

[@NickGranville]

Hot damn, that echo sounds so good. I want one, as I'm sure we all do now. ha,

[@ericdincauze3984]

Thanks Uncle Larry, that was very cool!

[@jlore6344]

Wow that is an amazing machine. So cool!

[@waynemiller6070]

Ahhhhh All of my questions have been answered!

[@paultaylor2968]

Thanks Tom that was so interesting. You brighten my day with your pearls of wisdom.

[@michaelnc4450]

Great video, I love messing with gear like that... Fun stuff!

[@brucerobenalt8048]

Truly a magical piece of 70s tech wizardry! Love these things.

[@phillippehrson4908]

Very well done!

[@johnk7147]

Thanks man…never would have learned about this anywhere else.

[@jeremyhickersonsalem]

really cool video, Tom, thank you! Those dudes shouldn't have said "was it a mistake", I might have heard it to but I dig how you're just putting it out there totally improvised on the moment, and let the chips fly, and very very rarely does one of those kind of notes slip in. because you're awesome!

[@thomasselmer-olsen6489]

LOVED this video!!! Inspired me to set up my Watkins Copicat again....now I just need to learn how to play like Uncle Larry...

[@MdriscollIRR]

Very cool Tom. For decades, I’ve been running my old echoplex (Drunk Guy) thru a 1980 Roland JC120 with variable success. These units are so rock solid, but so hard to find. Thanks for another entertaining episode.

[@toploadtele]

Tommy has forgotten more than most people will ever know about guitars and gear. For someone that doesn't generally like to talk about gear, he has apparently seen or used most everything out there at some point.... except his understandable disdain for modeling amps! lol !!

[@vicdeacon7276]

Dude. That sounds incredible. I had kicked my tape addiction but now I’m jonesing.

[@SealedOrPorted]

That is slick. Always wanted to see one of those.

[@NateSapianMusic]

So cool man - thanks for sharing!

[@tomcoryell]

I like your description of an Echoplex. I played with a sax player that lugged his Echoplex and his Vox Super Beatle around in the trunk of his black Sedan DeVille. Ah the good old days….

[@Shamilt3]

That chorus is about the best sounding i have ever heard, so natural. For delay its pretty cool, but i am so partial to the 2290's or the OG MXR rack.Granted entirely different spectrum, overall the chorus that roland produces is EXCELLENT

[@TheBeriking]

Talk about timing! I’ve been running through a tape echo/space echo rabbit hole this past few days (actually got to discover the 501’s existence on Saturday, was only aware of the “standard” 201 before…), and dear Uncle Larry, who never posts about gear, comes out with this. Wonderful demonstration of a truly unique, musical tool. We’ve been skooled! Thank you Tom, loved every second! (As usual with your posts…)

[@Bluesbreaker-uf8ti]

That thing looks so cool!

[@hazelelcamino7453]

I can’t believe Uncle Larry didn’t show off the coolest part: running it stereo out. On my 301, the stereo chorus sounds AMAZING and it makes the reverb one side, repeats on the other. Stupid good on synths.

[@crilf5830]

Very nice! Thanks

[@suaragitar]

Beautiful echo. I am an echo head myself, Vox Deluxe Echo is my go-to.

[@Fleaafc1]

Great machine, thanks for the reminder, love the sound on sound function. I had to turn off half way through though, as the reverb sounds were driving my dog nuts. 😂🤣😂 (a bit like my playing really).

[@gbarge4]

Uncle Larry, that Sun Records sound at around 10:00 is so so good. Fascinating. Can't believe I missed the 128 128. Must be like a magic trick where we wanted to believe normal was normal. Bless Rick; Tommy, you're doing it right. Keep it going. Each one of these makes many thousands of humans happy. Even if we aren't among the 500 real players. Maybe there's room for 501.

[@troymoss4515]

Dude! I LOVE it when you geek out on cool gear for us gear geeks!!! Really great episode.

[@jordandangelo180]

Holy Shit that sounds amazing Wow! A 501choursecho just like the name states! How cool is that. What an absolutely amazing piece of equipment. I’ve owned the smaller space echo and loved it and should of never sold it BUT I saw that Boss is coming out with a small pedal platform version in the same small box form of an OD1 so that should be cool to put on your board. I understand if you’re going to sell it but maybe you should keep it and use it in the studio or for Homeskoolin’. I can’t think of another player who would do this amazing unit better than you Uncle Larry…Thanks for making my lunch break awesome. Definitely needed this today.

[@stratmagic6893]

Uncle Larry is the only person I don't mind when he repeats himself. It is always great to hear wisdom no matter how many times.

[@brianolson_music]

Always wondered about the name. That sounds so good. Would love to have one. So cool. Thanks for the video! Good choice for the name of the channel, makes perfect sense.

[@scottwilliams1716]

Thanks for the show! I'll never give up my 201. 1985= $200. (everyone wanted that new 'digital delay' thang😂) Thanks Larry

[@carpme]

What a cool fucking video, Uncle Larry delivers as usual!

[@CyberDocUSA]

This bodes well with the indica I smoked tonight. My cousin had one of these that he inherited from his Dad and I wonder what ever became of it. Magic in your hands.

[@JimFothergill]

Great show today! Thanks man!!!

[@Seneca419]

Thanks Uncle Larry, this always has been, and always will be the best damn show on the tube!!!

[@dan5danPT]

Been waiting for the namesake 501 chorus-echo to make an appearance!

[@shawnhelsel923]

Great analogy of an Echoplex! I can certainly agree owning three of the cantankerous things. . .

[@the_guitar_generation]

I have an re-150. Love it so much. I really wish someone would make a really good dedicated space echo pedal.

[@tombstoneslim7070]

Uncle Tom Tom you ready to part ways with that LP Junior DC yet? Don’t forget your friend Slim!! Rock on!!

[@eightbars1]

As soon as I saw Roland, I knew we were in for some sonic treats! Thanks, Lar!
