Chimey

I have always enjoyed clean tones with an acoustic plugged in. Recently, a nylon string alternative was preferred. I don't strum chords too often (can't remember the last time I did), I tend to stick to arpeggiating three notes with an overload of chimey modulation dialled in. I have no obligations to follow what others are doing for cleans, I'm mostly on heavy distortion anyway. This LANEY Prism mini has such good clean tones on board.

My bouts with the clean tone continues. Having a good clean tone is actually a bucket list thing & 'good' remains subjective; on some days it's likeable, on other days, appalling. The three pedals you see above are pretty much it for now. Usually, I would omit a drive unit in the line up, just the tuner & chorus. Everything else, the amp will speak for the tone. However, being a light picker & struggling to pick & fret firmly is a constant challenge as I have always relied on high gain to 'amplify' the slightest of touches. Hence the inclusion of the Tube Screamer in the line up. A weak drive is important to me to preserve the clean chime. I wouldn't say this is a final consideration.
