The Story
The synth lead in Phoenix's '1901' was created using a Roland Juno-106 synthesizer processed through an Ibanez Tube Screamer TS808 overdrive pedal. The song was recorded at Motorbass Studios in Paris, and the Tube Screamer added overdrive and mid-frequency boost to give the Juno's characteristically warm sound a more aggressive, cutting edge in the mix.
