This is a short video that I did with “trip-hop” guitar sound in mind.

The guitar sound is formed in three stages. First, I shaped the clear guitar: amp simulation and some compression + overdrive in Roland VG-99. Second, I used Strymon Timeline’s “Tremolo” mode delay that adds tremolo to delayed sound, but leaves the rest untouched. Thus I got a mis of a clear guitar and tremolo effect in delay. Third was Strymon BigSky Plate reverb.
This time I used reverb in the end on the chain after the looper. I did it to avoid washing out of the overall mix that could have happened if I would layer three phrases with a good amount of reverb in every phrase. Sometimes it definitely has sense to place your reverb after a looper!
One more thing I did in this video was guitar rhythmic double track. I did it as it was actually meant to be. When you record a double track you pan your guitars like this: one to the left and one to the right.
