The Story
The lead guitar tone on 'Ain't Nobody But Me' features a Fender Stratocaster played through a Roland JC-120 amplifier, with prominent chorus effect provided by either the JC-120's built-in chorus or a Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble pedal. The track was recorded at The Village Recorder in Los Angeles with Peter Henderson serving as both producer and engineer, utilizing the signature bright, articulate sound characteristic of Supertramp's later period recordings.
