Recording Notes
- The guitar sound is heavily processed with a chorus effect, likely the Boss CE-1, to create a detuned, synth-like texture.
- The clean amp sound provides a bright and clear foundation for the effects.
- It is rumored the guitar may have been recorded direct and then amped.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a clean, bright guitar tone from an HSS Strat-style guitar.
- Use a chorus pedal, such as the Boss CE-1 or a similar model, with a medium depth and rate to get the detuned effect.
- Adjust the EQ to emphasize the high frequencies to get the crisp, cutting sound.
