Recording Notes

  • The Roland JC-120's chorus is a key element of the sound, imparting a wide, shimmering texture.
  • A clean amp setting is crucial for retaining the guitar's natural brightness and clarity.
  • The Boss CE-1 adds a swirling, spatial effect that complements the chorus.
  • The guitar sound is very clean, suggesting a direct input blended with the mic'd amp.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a Fender Telecaster and the Roland JC-120's clean channel as the base.
  • Dial in a subtle chorus effect on the amp, or use a Boss CE-1 for a similar effect.
  • Experiment with slight compression to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
  • If you don't have the original amp, try to replicate the chorus effect with a plugin. There are Roland Dimension D emulations available.
