Hello Andy & everyone, I have a question for you!
I love the tone the guitar player gets at the end of this vid (at 2:08, when he uses the neck pickup):



this is exactly the tone I'm looking for in the lead guitar realm! this reminds me a lot the lead tone that James Murphy and Eric Peterson got on the "Low" album, like on this song:



don't you think there is a common thing between the two? could you please give me any advice to get a similar tone?
to my ears it seems there is some chorus + delay (+ reverb?) added. I think the chorus is the most important... but I can't tell what chorus type it is and what are the settings!
please tell me if you know!! thank you very much.

Wow...you don't hear people bring up "Low" very often. That album is amazing.

Anyways -- listening to it now, i don't think it's chorus as much as maybe a slight phase-type effect on it? There's probably a little chorus in there too, as well as an obvious shitload of delay. And maybe try backing off the volume on the guitar a little, it'll help with that clearer bluesy sound they got. Good luck!
 
thank you for your advice! yes the phaser finally seems to be the right way to go... I thought it was some chorus but apparently I was wrong.
