AOR tone for Synthwave Guitar? You'd be surprised how good it sounds!

- That classic AOR guitar tone can work pretty well on synthwave tracks, too! Depending on the material, injecting some early 70's hard rock into an 80's inspired genre gives you access to a new sonic palette besides the usual high-gain "Van Halen" lead or those glassy cleans. This track "Adieu" I think was a great candidate for some classic west-coast-style soloing, so I reached for some vintage drive pedals and a Matchless DC-30 amp simp and had some fun!

Gotcha. Thanks for the feedback 👍@@5Sam66

Beautiful tones!! Please gime me any recommndation me (excuse my english, I`m Argentine) with the some pedal for lead tones like you use in this video. I have Micro chorus, dd3 and Rv5 with strat over a 100% clean amp. I can`t test pedals where I live and the lead tone you use here is what I was looking for so much. Thanks bro and greats from Argentina
Hey thanks! So the detailed, step-by-step tutorials on how to get my exact tones are members-only videos, they can be accessed at the "keytar-hero" level. I can give you a quick breakdown though. My guitar has 2 hum-bucker pickups, and in this video I'm mostly using the neck one. I have a graphic EQ pedal removing a lot of the lows and mid-lows, as well as boosting the high-mids a bit - but that's just because my guitar sounds very beefy, it might not be necessary on yours. Then I have a vintage drive pedal - it's "off" for the intro here, then I turn it on. Gives that nice, distorted tone. That goes into an emulation of a Matchless DC-30 amp, where I have a generous amount of gain and I turned town the bass a lot, the mids quite a bit, too and treble and presence a little.The cab is mic'd up with an SM-57 emulation placed a little off-axis and not super-close, again to reduce bass. Then I have a parametric EQ with some very thin bands to remove some unwanted resonances, but again, that might be a problem of my guitar only. That's the signal I record. I then added some delay and reverb in Ableton Live.
