Albacore Crunch comes with the song Barracuda. Barracuda and Albacore are both fish and can both be caught here in California. (if you're wondering why they would give the tone that name, makes sense to me)

Albacore tuna, surf band, ocean, etc?

Heart? A surf band???? Really? I don't even think of Heart as a California band. Now, this tone may show up in another song that I haven't noticed, but the only place I've ever seen it is on Barracuda, which, granted, is a fish, but it's not a tuna fish. I'm not saying it's a stupid name or that I could come up with anything better. I just don't see the connection between tuna and a Heart song about predatory males. . .


Anyway. Remember: You can tune a guitar, but you can't tuna fish. . .

OK OK duggle there above me has it better. Forgive me, I download basically everything and forget which: tones go to which songs. I think there's a thread that matches tones to songs.

Dude - I will NEVER jump somebody's case for forgetting stuff! I just figured maybe you had seen this tone in another song somewhere!

I use the correct tone for each song.

ya me too, but I made this post about amp mode. When you aren't playing the songs in the game, and you are just playing your guitar.

p.s. I dind't mean that Heart is a California band, they are from Seattle, I just meant that Barracuda and Albacore both can be found in the same region in the Pacific.

Anyway, I guess a correct response to this thread would be something like.

Digital delay and some distortion (tube screamer) or compression for most older U2 songs. Maybe add a little reverb for depth. Amp should be DC58 (models the Vox AC30).
Delay time and repetitions varies by song.

When "Barracuda" was released, though, weren't they in Canada so the drummer (I think it was) wouldn't get drafted?

[Duggle-SD]

Yeah, when I wrote the above I didn't know where they were from, but had just checked a wiki that said they are from Seattle but first found success in Canada.

Yes. Stuff like this is what I was hoping for when I started this thread lol. Just to help people get an idea of what they should use.
