I remember this it was kind like a hammering on thing. He did it with George Harrison.
On that topic, the sound George got in that session from his hollowbady was amazing. So much presence and the delay was very authentic. All helped along by George's great playing ability of course.

I think you are right but maybe there are not so many of us who would buy them. I looked for years for a good one and came close but never did. In the interim I got a Line 6 DL-4 which models the Space Echo pretty well and is solid state. That was an interim measure probably 6 years ago and didn't really try hard to find one after that.
A bit of George goodness from that Carl Perkins and freinds session....
