This might be the best Strat tone I've ever heard

That tone was so clean yet clanky...
Yes. That’s the real Strat tone.
I couldn’t of described it better then that vid!

It's just perfect.

Love the tone!

 

[RaceU4her]

that sounds like Roxette

 

[Beyond Black]

There’s nothing wrong with that tone.

 

[skullfxr]

That is a nice strat tone for sure. Nice playing too

 

[Rick Lee]

I have that same head and cab. Wish he'd share his settings.

 

[errrrrl]

Is he using that new Waza metal zone?

 

[psychodave]

Sounds cool... but why no single coil buzz? Was he using 100% amp and no attenuation or plugins and IR’s? There is reverb in the sound too.

 

[RyeDaddy]

Very nice.
This is my fave on youTube

What about the middle and neck pickups? Would've been nice to hear both of them too I reckon.

Anyway, a bridge pickup in a Strat has no right to sound that good. So fat and mellow.

EDIT:
On closer inspection, could it be that he's using a combination of the middle and bridge PU's?

 

[Mailman1971]

That’s kinda what I thought as well. Didn’t look like the pickup selector was all one way or the other

He is using a tube screamer, maybe with the tone all closed.


I'm not into relic guitars, but that strat really hurt my eyes

The guitar is definitely hideous.

That tone was decent, no doubt. But the master of the Stratocaster is:

I never get tired of this song. It is so badass.

 

[petejt]

that sounds like Roxette

Yeah there's a certain glassiness to it. But I thought that Roxette plugged straight into the mixing desk for their clean guitar sounds?
