Plini Amp Settings & Guitar Tone
Featured Tone
Electric Sunrise (2016)
.strandberg* Boden (6-string headless; exact model/year not documented for the Handmade Cities session) (inferred) → Fractal Audio Axe-Fx II (probable, based on multiple contemporaneous discussions referencing Plini’s workflow; not a primary session document)
A polished modern-clean with a slightly bright, ‘hi-fi’ top end and controlled low frequencies so extended voicings stay clear. Spatial effects (delay/reverb) create a wide, uplifting ‘cinematic’ field, but the core remains articulate and relatively dry at the pick transient. The tone feels produced-for-record rather than amp-in-room.
