Ingredients to that rhythm guitar sound in Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun"? Tremolo, Leslie, Chorus,...

  • Hi,


    Playing in a cover band, I would like to get close to the sound of Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun"
    During verses, there's a guitar sound having effect(s) , I don't know wether it is chorus, leslie, or other ....


    For sure I can try to search by myself, but if you can give me some tips... thanks in advance,
    Laurent

  • I just tried it out because I was interested in it as well. The Rotary Fast (Leslie) effect works really well for this tune. The album almost sounds like a deep chorus with a fast tremolo added that is a bit quieter. I just turned down the mix control in the rotary settings to match and it sounded pretty good. I guess you could add some delay and reverb to taste. I have no amp recommendations though as I just turned down the gain on whatever was loaded and still sounded good for the clean part.
