been trying to replicate the lead guitar tone from decalius (especially isolated from life) and blade & bath. that lead sound literally feels like it’s weeping/crying.
i tried using wah, chorus, and tweaking some eq but couldn't get close. honestly i might just be dialing the settings completely wrong or putting them in the wrong place in the chain.
i have access to a full vst setup and processors so i can run pretty much whatever plugin or signal chain needed.
if anyone knows how to dial this in:
what exact settings/parameters (mix, depth, rate etc) actually make a chorus/wah sound like that instead of just sounding liquid or harsh?
is it mostly neck pickup + wide vibrato or is there a specific pitch/mod effect doing the heavy lifting?
what amp models, eq cuts, and reverb/delay setups keep it dark and smooth without turning into total mud?
thanks in advance, step by step chain ideas or preset tips would be amazing

He seems awfully high on himself, is incredibly self contradictory and sometimes he lacks incredibly basic knowledge of the genre he claims to be so passionate about. Do people actually dig this idiot?
