In Rainbows Interlocking Current — Three Clean Guitars & Sustainer Drone
The arrangement is built from clean, interlocking guitar patterns rather than a large effects chain. Greenwood's Telecaster Plus is essentially dry and uses an Akai Headrush only to record the loop that continues through the ending, while O'Brien adds sustained background tones with a Sustainer Strat. The instrument assignments follow the From the Basement recreation and settings are approximated where controls were not documented. Source: The King of Gear's Weird Fishes documentation.
Signal Chain
Notes
The individual tones should sound almost plain in isolation. The complexity comes from precise rhythmic placement, contrasting registers and the gradual addition of the drone.
