Hi all - here's a request/challenge. Seems simple at first but i havent nailed it myself.
I think the solo guitar at the end of the Beyonce track 1+1 has a fantastic tone, and is played with a great touch (rumour has it by Nuno Bettencourt but no confirmation on that). Can anybody nail this tone? I have been adding a bit of the feedbacker in there also to get some 'tube-ness', but i havent fixed on which amp/drive pedal combination is right for this sound.
Anyone wanna give it a shot?

This tone is not so much in the amp model as in the delay settings. That tone actually sounds very Roland-like. Try the T-amp Lead or the modern Marshall. Set the delay time at about 380-400 ms, the level around 40% and the feedback at about 36%. also use a little room verb (set the time at about 2.0). That will give it that studio quality. The guitar on the track was probably something with Hum-buckers but I think a modern Strat would sound great for this tone.

Not sure - maybe just do a google search for '1+1 beyonce'

Cheers! i will give this a shot tonight. Ive never actually played with the t-amp. My guess was that it was an axe-FX used for the recording but i would be happy if it was a roland :)
