Tone Profile

The lead guitar tone is smooth, warm, and singing, with a clear, sustained quality and a touch of overdrive. It's designed to be melodic and expressive, fitting the Latin-infused rock style.

Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-miked amplifier, capturing the direct tone of the Mesa/Boogie Mark I.
• The Ibanez Tube Screamer likely provided a mid-boost and additional sustain.
• The Lexicon PCM42 may have been used for delay or subtle modulation to add depth.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a PRS-style guitar with humbuckers for a similar base tone.
• Use a Mesa/Boogie Mark series amp or an amp modeler with similar characteristics.
• An Ibanez Tube Screamer or similar overdrive pedal can help achieve the singing sustain.
• Experiment with delay to add dimension and depth to the sound.
• Adjust EQ to emphasize the midrange frequencies for a clear and cutting tone.
