Fender Jaguars/Jazzmasters into Fender Twin Reverbs and Marshall JCM800s, heavy use of chorus pedals and reverb, layered guitar walls typical of shoegaze production by Alan Moulder

01Chorus (Boss CE-2 or similar)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Essential for the shimmering modulation on this track. EHX Small Clone or TC Electronic Corona are affordable alternatives.
02Reverb (Boss RV-6 or Hall of Fame)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. The LH50 has no onboard reverb; a large hall/plate reverb pedal is critical for this shoegaze wash. Set to hall or plate mode.
The Laney LH50 is more mid-forward and British-voiced than the Fender Twins on the original, so treble is pushed to 7 to recover that Fender shimmer while mid is pulled to 4 to avoid bark. Gain at 4 keeps it clean with slight edge — Ride's rhythm parts sat just under breakup. Without chorus and reverb pedals, this tone will sound flat and dry; those effects are non-negotiable for the shoegaze wall.
