Tone Profile

The lead guitar tone is characterized by its smooth, sustained quality with a touch of overdrive and a slightly chorus-like modulation, providing a bright and expressive sound. It's ideal for melodic lines and emotive solos.

Recording Notes

• The guitar may have been recorded with the amp slightly overdriven to achieve the sustain and smooth tone.
• The Neumann U87 was likely positioned to capture the amp's sweet spot, balancing proximity and room ambience.
• The chorus effect was used subtly to add width and shimmer to the guitar's tone without making it overly obvious.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a clean amp setting on the Vox AC30, then add a touch of gain using the Ibanez TS9 to get the desired sustain and overdrive.
• Use the TC Electronic Corona Chorus sparingly to avoid excessive modulation. Aim for a subtle thickening effect.
• Adjust the EQ on the amp and TS9 to brighten the overall tone, ensuring the guitar cuts through the mix without sounding harsh.
