Ambient Guitar / Soundscape #22 - “TV Session ep.2”

The initial lightly overdriven guitar sound is formed by Strymon Riverside fed into Joyo JF-14 amp sim.

Then the signal splits into two lines. The first line goes to Strymon Volante (tape delay). The second one goes to Strymon BigSky. Later they are combined in one stereo line and fed into Strymon TimeLine that works in Frippertronics mode (dual delay with sound degradation, ratio 8/1)

Strymon BigSky is used as a short delay for one flute note only.

I use volume knob here for volume swells.
