How to achieve that sound - clean/shining/lush 80's rock

Most likely multitracked to oblivion with different fx stacked and with the fx tracks mixed low. I think I hear a phaser in there if I'm not going crazy.

And some posts from the guys who worked on the album:

I hear single coils, reverb, chorus and maybe phaser but all economical.
Anyway it's a nice sound.
If somebody knows the solution I'd like to get information about.

Same here, Harry.

Brother Skocz, you should be able to get close with these, plus maybe a smidgen of 1/4-note delay, but... using a single coil PU only.

Compression, place your chorus after the distortion/amp, plenty of verb, and I agree with the others in using a single coil for this.

You can insert an EQ in an FX slot, and remove some of the midrange from the guitar signal, to get more of a single coil sound from a humbucker.

Steve did have a blue strat if I remember. Either way, a beautiful sound!

Quote from skoczy

Rhythm guitarist played Les Paul with 3 humbuckers.

I considered that but think that the Video to not have a Live sound.

Maybe a little like this?

As previously mentioned.. Single Coil PUP (even though he used humbuckers,, he could have coil tapped them or just used a different guitar in studio.) They played through rockmans in studio and the rockman has a very specific compressor sound to it.. i believe it's optical. Chorus and/or pitch shift.

LOL You even did the 1/4-note delay I suggested (I'm sure you thought of this yourself 'though), Frank.

Well done, mate! Sounds very-good.

If they used Rockmans in the studio, MBritt has some Rockman profiles that may help you get there.

Ok I did as little experimentation. I think you'll get very close with the following (I was using the Soul Dano Clean profile as a basis, just because it's the first clean amp I stumbled upon).

Stomp 1 = One DS, drive all the way backed off, tone slightly up.
Stomp 2 = Vintage Chorus - Rate reduced slightly, Depth increased by about a quarter, touch more crossover.

Amp

X = Pure Booster (as in the profile default)
Delay = 1/8 dot / 3/16, mix low.

Use a Strat with the bridge pickup, I experimented with the others because initially I assumed it was an out of phase position but that was just the chorus messing with my ears, they just didn't have the brilliance. Adjust the mix on the One DS as required.

The most notable thing for me is that I found that it's not a very clean sound at all. It just sounds clean because the chorus happens after the distortion which is a pedal distortion rather than an amp distortion. In order to get that sharpness you need the compression and dirt that a distortion pedal brings.

Thank you Nicky. It was a pain to reach this sound. I checked out nearly 100 clean rigs. Than i found this tonehammer one and i changed the cab.Biggest part was to get the right phaser and chorus settings and after adding the compressor i missed something in the sound. I havent read your advice with the delay but that was the gamechanger for the shimmer in the sound. I have setted it very subtile to the the right tempo (107 bpm), so cant really hear the delay when playing in tempo, but it makes the sound thicker and shimmering. It was also hard to find the right guitar for it. I have chosen my strat to get it. It's a big difference to my other guitars with this tweak. I also tried it with the majesty and didnt get a good sound out of it which is near to the strat sound. My gibson like this sound too, but i have to scoope the mids and boost the bass and presence.

This is exactly what I was thinking when I suggested 1/4-note divisions, Frank.

It's a subtle doubling-up of the sound. Well done again, mate!

Well, to look for something similar in my archive, I'm going to join my sysiphus way.

Here is a one played with my music man majesty (Humbucker).
PU switch middle position.

The rig is a free jmp 1 rig from RE (Phil Collen uses JMP 1 for long times).

I uploaded the rig with all the tweaks in my dropbox. Use the link under my signature and search for JMP 1 Hysteria.

Hope you like it.
