Tone Profile

Dreamy and heavily layered shoegaze guitar tone with a sense of movement and swirling textures. Achieved through extensive use of tremolo, reverb, and potentially harmonizing effects to create a wall of sound.

Recording Notes

• Multiple layers of guitar tracks were recorded, each with slightly different settings on the effects units to create a chorus-like effect.
• The Yamaha SPX90 was used for reverse reverb and pitch-shifting effects to add depth and texture.
• The DigiTech Whammy was used for subtle pitch bends and octave shifts to create a warbling effect.
• The ProCo Rat was used for distortion.
