Tone Profile

Aggressive, distorted, and resonant, this synth lead cuts through the mix with a gritty edge and a touch of vintage warmth. It's the sound of a machine struggling to maintain control.

Recording Notes

• The aggressive tone is achieved by pushing the Ibanez SD9 Sonic Distortion pedal into overdrive.
• The Mutronics Mutator is used for filter sweeps and added character.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth wave on a Roland Juno-106 or similar analog synthesizer.
• Use the Ibanez SD9 to add distortion and grit.
• Experiment with filter sweeps using an envelope filter or LFO to recreate the Mutronics Mutator effect.
• Slightly detune oscillators for a thicker sound.
