How to get Andy Summers guitar sounds. e.g. Walking on the Moon

For clean Andy Summers tones I'd go for one of the stock Roland JC 120 profiles.

Additionally you definitely want to put a compressor in one of the stomps pre stack, and also a Flanger (with Electric Mistress settings, low flange rate) in stomp D, also pre stack.

An Air Chorus needs to go in slot X.

Then you need delays of course. Don’t go for too fancy ones. Andy Summers used an Echoplex extensively, modern stuff like crystal etc. wasn’t invented in the 70's.

For Summers crunch tones go for a Marshall Plexi profile instead and boost it for more gain.

Proposal: Slot A = Wah, Slot B= Compressor, Slot C = Pure Boost, Slot D = Flanger, Slot X = Chorus.

Mod + Delay I would populate with different delays.

What tracks did Andy record the clean sound with a JC120?

This is not well documented. I guess the cleaner the sound the more likely is the use of the JC.

Live I've only seen him using the Marshall Plexis in the old Police days.
