This is my first tryout with my 'new' Watkins Copicat.
It is a mint 1963 model completely untouched still with original valves, tape heads and one very careful owner before me :)
On the original recording of this song, the guitar tone is quite on the edge of breakup for a Shads number. So seeing as how the Copicat has a nice valve pre-amp stage, I dialled in just the right amount of grit.
Amp-wise I'm using a Vox AC4TV upgraded with a Weber 10 inch Alnico Blue Pup and a 12AT7 in the preamp stage instead of a 12AX7. This gives the amp a lot more clean headroom enabling you to drive the power amp stage a bit more.
A big shout out to the guys at Essex Amp Repairs for giving this Copicat a once over and a bit of TLC before I actually used it to record.
Their website is:

They specialise in vintage gear and amp mods of all sorts and are great blokes to deal with.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers.
