Tone Profile

A dark, swirling, and slightly chorus-laden tone that's both haunting and iconic. The sound is watery and thick, with a subtle fuzz.

Recording Notes

• The guitar sound was achieved by running a Fender Stratocaster through an Electro-Harmonix Small Clone chorus pedal into a Mesa/Boogie Studio .22 Preamp.
• The Small Clone was crucial for that slightly detuned, watery chorus effect.
• The Mesa/Boogie provided the core distorted tone, likely with a touch of fuzz.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Stratocaster-style guitar for the single-coil clarity and bite.
• Use an Electro-Harmonix Small Clone chorus pedal and adjust the rate and depth to match the original tone. Subtle adjustments are key.
• Employ a Mesa/Boogie amp or similar amp capable of producing a smooth, slightly fuzzy distortion.
• Adjust the amp's EQ to emphasize the midrange frequencies for a thick sound.
