Tone Profile

The keyboard in "good 4 u" provides a distorted, slightly detuned power chord-like foundation. It has a raw, overdriven character reminiscent of a heavily processed guitar.

Recording Notes

• The keyboard sound is likely a synth, possibly a Prophet-5, run through distortion and phaser effects.
• The ProCo RAT provides the aggressive distortion, while the MXR Phase 90 adds movement and depth to the sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth wave on a synthesizer like the Prophet-5.
• Use a distortion pedal such as the ProCo RAT to achieve the overdriven sound.
• Apply a phaser effect like the MXR Phase 90 to create a swirling, detuned feel.
• Adjust the distortion and phaser settings to match the intensity of the original track.
• Consider doubling the part and panning slightly to widen the sound.
