Notes
Studio recording, 2015-2016 (I Like It When You Sleep... album sessions). Adam Hann references the Roland JC-120 as a go-to for clean and chorus-rich tones on this album. No evidence of Hiwatt or Fender Vibrolux on this specific track's solo in studio context.
Tone Character(10)
bright and glassylush stereo choruscrisp and articulate attackclean with slight edgeambient and spatialsinging, melodic sustaintight and percussivedistinctive '80s pop shimmer'no heavy distortionchorus effect is prominent
Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate-level technique due to its fast tempo, need for precise picking, and control of dynamics and phrasing to maintain clarity with heavy chorus modulation.
