Description
I’m using a Les Paul guitar for this song, but any electric guitar with a humbucker pickup in the bridge position can be used.
A Modern High-Gain tube amp is the best choice to replicate the tones in this tune. Dial in for a thick crunch sound. Start out by setting the Preamp Gain to 75%, Bass to 50%, Mids to 55%, and the Treble and Presence to around 60%.
The best approach for this song is if your amp has channel switching, so that you can change between a clean and crunch sound while playing through the song. Alternatively, you could roll the volume down on your guitar to clean up the sound.
The guitar kicks in a flanger effect in the breakdown chorus.
I’ve also added a touch of reverb for depth.
You could optimize your string gauge if you plan to keep a guitar tuned for this. Or you can simply use a standard set of 46-10 and be careful when tuning up.
