Need an effect - The Skints - Murderer

[spleenharvester]

Hey all, I'm going to be performing this song sometime real soon.

I'm hopeless with this sorta stuff so hopefully you guys can help out.

Basically, I need the guitar part in the background, I can play it all but I just can't figure the effect out. The part which is | A /// | F /// | G /// | repeated, the high pitch chords.

I have a Line 6 Pocket Pod and Boss DS-1 at my disposal.

Guitars, I have:
Yamaha RGX212Z HSH strat
Yamaha Pacifica 012 HSS strat w/Alnico II Pro in the bridge.

Amp will be a Marshall MG15DFX.

Help will be much appreciated here! Cheers all!

Try a slap-back setting on your delay.
And just to be specific: slapback typically uses a delay time of from 40 to 250 milliseconds, with little or no feedback.

Upstroke the chords.
A large dollop of reverb.

Typical reggae sound.

just get a transparent drive ( even a boss super overdrive) with a good amount of high end, thats about all you need, and reverb

also single coils would be the way to go

You can also get the thinner tone using the neck/middle, or bridge/middle combos. That parallel tone is great for reggae/funk
