Can someone tell me how I might recreate the sound of the guitar(s) in the intro of this song?

id say lots of distortion and a little bit of chorus maybe...

hollow bodied guitars with humbuckers, and a good overdriven tube amp

Tube overdrive, humbuckers, reverb, cut the bass a tiny bit and keep the middle and treble up I reckon.

Only had a quick listen though so I might not be that accurate.

Thanks for the help, fellers. When I get something that can emulate the Tube Overdrive, I'll get started on it, haha.


Also, lol, "Reckon". I thought only us Texans said that.

Haha, nar... lots of English people say that. What amp are you using Skold?

wait Doz people in England actually say yar and nar? I started saying them after I saw Hot Fuzz

I don't say yar much. Yeah and nar for me.

I don't use an amp. I run through a workstation (using phantom power), into my PC, and out of my PC speakers, and my bass speaker.

still man thats good to know cause I used to say nothing but Yar adn Nar and sometimes add a b after them like Yarb and Narb but I went a month only saying those everyone thought I had a stroke

...but with a 'B' after them they become so different from the original yes and no that they don't seem related at all. Lol, why would you go a month just saying those?

Alright, I tried to get it as close to the original as I could.

Putfile seems to downgrade the audio quality, so keep in mind that it's not as distorted.

way too much distortion

The distortion isn't smooth enough... it sounds horribly robotic.

I agree

I think I might need to turn down the input sensitivity (in this case, think of it as Gain).

Well, you can tell it's not just a standard gain. Aren't you in a band by the way? What gear do you use in the band?

oh um I went a month only saying Yarb and Narb because it was the closest thing to a vow of silence I was gonna do, like I still typed other stuff but 90% of my spoken words were yar and nar

Mmmmm... why do a vow of silance?

um I kinda decided that until I got a girlfriend I wasn't gonna speak thank god one girl found that admirable and decided to date me
