rd2rk Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Is "Balance" a song name or ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmalle Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Balance is the '95 album, the one with 'Can't stop lovin' you'. Well, drenched in chorus all over the place. I have no patch but a suggestion for the chorus: Dimension with only Switch1 on and 50-60% mix, placed after the amp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HonestOpinion Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Just gotta say what a genius on the guitar. Technique is just unbelievable. What a loss! There might be some fairly dynamic changing of effect, e.g. reverb/delay parameters(as well as others), possibly partly in post-production, I think I am hearing multi-layered guitars in here, at least in spots. Although it could just be his phenomenal whammy skills it almost sounds like a synth guitar patch was layered on in some places. If so you may get close but it's gonna be difficult to impossible to get all those sounds matched with a single guitar track. Could swear I hear some phaser in there as well, particularly on the picked rhythm riffs starting at 0:27secs in and also in the long spacey outro. Never quite sure what-all I'm hearing with Eddie though. If anyone could do this in one take it would have been him. A wizard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
