Recording Notes

• The guitar tone is characterized by a prominent chorus effect, likely achieved with a Roland JC-120's built-in chorus or a dedicated chorus pedal.
• The clean amp sound provides a solid foundation, with subtle overdrive to add body and sustain to the notes.
• The direct input signal likely blended with microphone cabinet signal.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a clean amp setting, similar to a Roland JC-120.
• Engage a chorus effect - try to recreate the lush, wide sound of a vintage Boss CE-1.
• Add a touch of overdrive to warm up the tone; start subtle and increase until you get the desired sustain.
• Experiment with different Yamaha Pacifica pickup selections (neck or middle) to further refine the sound.
