Featured Tone

The Less I Know the Better (2015)

Squier J. Mascis Jazzmaster (w/ Roland GK-3 synth pickup) / 1967 Rickenbacker 335 Jetglo No amp — recorded DI through Seymour Duncan KTG-1 King Tone Generator tube preamp

Warm, '80s synth-disco pads and organ textures deceptively guitar-sourced through Roland GR-55. Bass riff has gritty, overdriven character with chorus modulation. Exposed guitar has signature phased, reverb-drenched shimmer.
