For that silky 80’s guitar sound

Posted by Björgvin Benediktsson on 17.6.2009

One small tiny tip for today. As it is Wednesday I’m giving away a guitar tip but it’s going to be a short one.

For that 80’s guitar sound, dial up a chorus with a slow rate and at around 20% intensity. Also use judicious amount of reverb and some delay for solos. Obviously this is done by the guitarists themselves that are using the Chorus pedals or rack effects but you can still get a pretty decent chorusy eighties sound using your plug-ins in your preferred DAW.

That’s it for today. It’s Independence day for me so I have to rock out in the kitchen instead of on the guitar. If you are interested you can ask me to post more detailed settings and tips on this or similar topics.
