Daft Punk (feat. Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers) Amp Settings & Guitar Tone
Featured Tone
Get Lucky (2013)
Nile Rodgers ‘plexiglass guitar’ used at Daft Punk’s request for the Get Lucky session (distinct from, but intended to sound like, his ‘Hitmaker’ Strat) → Studio tracking at Conway Recording (LA) and Electric Lady (NYC) in the Random Access Memories process; exact guitar amp
A bright, ultra-tight clean funk rhythm tone that feels almost ‘DI’ in its immediacy—short sustain, strong transient snap, and a high-mid presence that cuts through the disco bass and drums. The sound is defined far more by compression, muting technique, and rhythmic consistency than by effects.
