You can't .  I  spent an entire seminar as guest artist with James in Calif 
for Dave Barrett. He  talks about his homemade processor, that he only uses 
with his vibrosonics, but  that is the extent of what you will get out of him. He 
always is using one of my  SJ 410's when on the road. First of all, nothing 
sounds like an original Vibro,  and not everyone will get a good sound out of 
them. Same as Wilson playing a  brown Pro, He could drive it to distortion, 
everyone else will sound harsh.  James H. is a very tasty player, not as strong 
as Clarke, Wilson, Gary Smith,  but certainly is a great 
entertainer,songwriter, and player with his own unique  sound.. This is like looking at the settings 
of Magic Dick's twin and going and  buying a twin to set it up the same way, 
thinking you will sound like him. James  creates his own sound, a processor 
like he has will not make you sound anything  close to him, I believe he owns 3 
at least of the very rare, and expensive,  original vibrosonics. Attempts to 
reissue them have been awful, maybe guitar  players like them.
