How do you play the ending to dani california?

Question

How do you play that really distorted and dirty ending to dani california. The part that just repeats and sounds like John is just bending the h**l out of his guitar strings? What amp settings and guitar settings should i use? I have a line 6 amp and the settings include: drive, bass, mid, treble, and channel volume. The amp has some channels that include clean, crunch, metal, and insane. I'm guessing I should use either crunch or clean but I'm not sure. The amp also has some effects: chorus flange, phaser, tremolo, sweep echo, tape echo, and reverb. Should I use any of these? By the way, I'm using a Fender American Standard Stratocaster, so if anyone has some tips involving tone settings on the guitar itself, I'd appreciate that too. I'm also using a DS-1 distortion pedal.

Answer 1

wow you bought a strat? Thats awesome but anyways he uses uses a bunch of distortion okay so im guessing you have a line 6 amp lol ive had a couple of those anyways i would go with crunch with the distortion pedal ummm just a regular amount of distortion not even close to metal though and he doesnt use a flanger phaser sweep echo or reverb i dont think. He uses a wah pedal insetad umm the actually pedal john used was a Boss Ds-2 distortion i believe so your not that far off lets see he uses a ibanez wh-10 wah wah pedal too i think. Idk people say its wah and i just cant really tell he really could be using his phaser (mxr phase 90) im really not completely sure. So i would buy a wah pedal and maybe try out the phaser on your amp for just the bendy solo part. i really cant find a good tone on my strat its really hard to mimick a song perfectly especially with pedals involved but yeah try out the phaser set the k***s on your amp dead middle on all to start but your ds-1 more on the trebly side and mess with the phaser for just that part and adjust acocording would be the best advice to give
