Tone Profile

A bright, driving, and urgent lead tone characterized by a prominent dotted-eighth note delay and a clean-to-slightly-overdriven amp sound.

Signal Chain

Recording Notes

• The signature element is the rhythmic delay set to a dotted eighth note against the main tempo (approx. 148 BPM), creating a galloping feel.
• The amp tone is mostly clean but pushed, possibly using a boost pedal or just high volume for edge-of-breakup.
• A bright pickup selection (likely bridge) was used to cut through the mix.
• A subtle chorus effect might have been used to add width and shimmer.
• The riff might be double-tracked for thickness in the recording.

Recreation Tips

• Use a guitar with bright pickups, preferably the bridge position.
• Set your amplifier for a loud clean tone with boosted treble and mids, cutting bass slightly.
• Use a digital delay pedal set to a dotted eighth note timing relative to the tempo (approx. 304ms at 148 BPM).
• Set delay feedback for 2-3 repeats and mix level around 30-50%.
• Add a subtle chorus if desired.
• Use a light overdrive or boost pedal if your amp needs more push, but keep the gain low.
