hello all. i have always played a les paul through my mesa boogie roadster, and loved the tones. i have recently bought a telecaster, and looking to get those chimey clean sounds. i have never tried to achieve these tones, so i could use some guidance. here is a video for the tones i am trying for. thanks in advance.

'Chimey' with a Telecaster? Start with a Vox.

Awesome song and video, tomrip ! What a sound! Ruefus is spot-on. That's the quintessential MW emo formula. I will say, though, that at 1:30 in the video I see them playing a P90-loaded Jazzmaster and what looks to be a Vox SDC with CoAxe hybrid pickups. These look to be similar to the pickups from the Vox Virage. Super transparent sound, but they definitely get single-coily when split. If this is the sound you're going for, you may consider starting with the source (though to my ears, a Tele would get you any of these tones without much fuss). All the best!

You can crank up the Direct Mix input settings in the Amp section to bring in more of the Tele's brightness into your signal.
