Trip Hop and The Neighbourhood sound for guitarists?

[Radiohead625]

So I'm on my way to building a rig for a newly formed band that is heavily influenced by trip hop and alternative music. The Neighbourhood has some amazing spacey sounds on their album "I love you" that I'd love to somewhat replicate. Songs like "Afraid" and "Sweater Weather" really nail a sound I'm looking for. Can you help a brother out get closer to that reverb drenched sound? Right now I'm working with multiple guitars, a vox ac15 c1, and the following pedals: Turbo Rat, EQD Hoof, Devi Ever Soda Meiser with chaos switch, Wampler 65', Mr. Black Chrome SuperMoon, and a DL4. How should I run the reverb and delay? Should I add something different to my pedal board?


Help is much appreciated.

Come on, you know you want to talk about trip hop and the verbz. The only thing that I've figured out so far is reverb in front of the Rat.

Had to YT them. I'd say get a compressor a smooth OD. Rats aren't very smooth, and running a verb pre-dirt makes things kinda messy (obviously in a good way, but not for that sound). You need to keep the sound focused, but washy if that makes sense. Just go some light dirt (like the speaker cranker) into delay, into verb. On the delay mess around with the mix being low, and at shorter times. Maybe feedback high.

Thanks man, I will definitely try this out. Maybe that's why I can't get it right. I've been messing around with the reverb in the front. It's just so atmospheric I figured it would have to set up that way. It's probably all recording techniques too. I almost want to believe it's not possible to get a sound that huge live.
