Guthrie Govan Amp Settings & Guitar Tone
Featured Tone
Wonderful Slippery Thing (2006)
Suhr (custom/superstrat-style; specific session guitar not fully itemized in accessible sources) (partially inferred) → Cornford RK100 (reported
A refined fusion clean: clear, mid-forward single notes with smooth sustain, and a slightly ‘glassy’ high end without harshness. The sound is studio-polished—enough space to feel three-dimensional, but dry enough for ultra-fast lines to remain separated. The character is more boutique and ‘hi-fi’ than vintage.
