Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed it. Sorry about the lack of info. I recall back when I was a kid learning this off Abraxas by dropping the needle, slowing the album down, then picking it up and doing it all over again about a gazillion times. When I was all done, it still sounded like a shadow of Carlos, and ever since I've just tried to do my own thing while respecting his genius.
Yes, this is the Flextone on a Modern Class A setting with a touch of flange and echo and lots of verb. No mid tone to speak of. Guitar's a PRS through the neck pickup.
I further tortured the poor signal with some compression and delay on the BR-1200 and added the kinda cheesey but retro panning.
It is the same BT, but because I like things to sound raw and live, I used a set of mastering tools on the Boss called Live Rock Band. Way beyond me what it does, but it ends up sounding more live and edgy sometimes.
Also, I couldn't get what I wanted with my usual mic positioning, so put the mic halfway down the room. I think it added sort of a big sound, but it's all relative.
Hey, who's next?
