Help with getting a tone similar to this

[spearmint95]

Hello fellow Helix users! I'm currently playing around with trying to get a tone that's...uh, how should I put it. I guess you could say I want the swirly sustain-y cleanliness off a Marshall or something but with a some nice crunch/overdrive.

 

I've been at it for a little bit and have come up with some sounds I like but I was hoping that maybe you guys could give me some tips that'll point me in the right direction! I understand there's some panning and mixing stuff going on, but the sound that I'm going for is something similar to the intro before the first verse!

Well that's a Marshall JCM 800 behind her. It's called the Brit 2204 in the Helix. The guitar looks like this Fender Classic series '72 telecaster custom electric.

I guess you could start there. Not that what you see in a video is what was used in the studio but, again, it's a start.

It's not likely you'll be able to simulate the opening since that's two guitar tracks together.  One track is more of a mid scooped power chord while the other is more fender-y and played on the higher strings.  You might come close using two amps in parallel but I'm not sure you'll get the fullness of the chords being played.

That's a cool song. The bass lines are great.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I'll play around with the Brit!!

That's what I was afraid of! Well I'm hoping I can at least get something close that's the best of both worlds, crunchy and clean blended together by two amps! Thanks!

Yeah I think the whole song is pretty neat!
