01Line 6 Helix LT (Deluxe Comp Block)
In front of amp to smooth pick attack and increase sustain
02Line 6 Helix LT (70s Chorus Block)
Provides the wide 80s/synth-pop modulation
03Line 6 Helix LT (Plate / Hall Reverb Block)
Ambient spatial wash in the chain
The track's string foundation is performed on a smooth fretless bass and synth layers by producer Josh Eustis rather than standard electric guitar. To adapt this melodic lead to your Strat and Deluxe Reverb, use the neck pickup with tone rolled down to 5 to tame single-coil chime and mimic the warm, round fretless fundamental. The Deluxe Reverb lacks a physical mid knob, so keep treble softened at 4 and use Helix LT blocks to deliver the compressed, chorused synth-pop space.
