Hi everyone,

I need help with a clean tone that would be similar to that which is heard on the Cynic album "Focus", particularly on the song "Textures".

It's really bell like and chimey. Can you guys recommend effects? EQ?

I have a Jackson Dinky with an EMG 85 in the bridge and then 2 SA's. My amp is a Marshall VS8080 and I have a shitty 30 band graphic EQ.

I'm willing to buy pedals/fx processors etc if need be. Just some recommendations would be cool as I have no idea how to get a tone like this.

Thanks!
 
Here's an official run-down of the gear they used on the album:

So your 85 should help since Paul and Jason used them also. I would guess most of the effects are the Rocktron Intellifex. They also layer in some of the Roland guitar synth on a bit of it as well.
