If you're talking about the Hank Marvin Shadows sound, your best bet is to Google it. Seems like The Shadows were early endorsers of Vox (I'd bet Hank used a AC-15), but I'd just as easily bet he used Watkins and Selmer amps, too. Later on, maybe Fenders.

Sorry, I don't have a clue. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Watkins Copicat, which I think is similar to a Echoplex. And from what I'm seeing on Google, Watkins apparently had a 'The Shadows Echo' model. Correct me if I'm wrong!
