How am I to imitate the tone of the guitar on this track? It's a great sound but I'm not too great at copying tones, but this one I really want to sound like the record

It is wet with reverb and sounds like far-micing or post-reverb. If I was hell-bent on replicating it I would use a spring reverb to sim the amp and then a second reverb to capture the ambiance of the room. I can also hear a bit of slapback with a second listen. A delay and a reverb? Maybe?Last edited by Securb; 01-29-2024, 01:52 PM.

It sounds like the neck pickup with the tone down slightly, with a fuzz with a lot of reverb.Administrator of the SDUGF

It is kind of an interesting tone. It is better on the recorded version than the live one above.Administrator of the SDUGF

Rule of thumb... the more pot you have, the better your tone.
