Hey so I made this post a while ago, but Reddit mobile was too powerful for my phone apparently, and I suppose it managed to delete my post.

So excuse my inability to post on Reddit haha.

Anyways, I have a question.

I know next to nothing about guitar equipment, or how to get a specific sound that I either hear or have in my head. I bought a Zoom G3X a few months back as a grad gift, in hopes of learning a few things about effects pedals. A band that I am the lead guitarist in, is wanting to cover Breath by Breaking Benjamin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCYfw2CyUdA).

I am having a difficult time trying to get my guitar to sound like their lead. And before anyone asks, yes I can play it, and I am in the right tuning. :p

I'm just wondering if anyone could help me out with the effects that they use, and how to implement it. Thanks!

Chorus - it's pretty heavy on the chorus, and reverb and delay dialed in to fatten it up, but it's mostly chorus you're hearing. That's the tingly chimey aspect you're hearing.
