Alcest - Percées de Lumière - Guitar Tab

Fender Stratocaster

Neige uses the Stratocaster's bright single-coil pickups to capture the shimmering, ethereal clean tones that define Alcest's shoegaze passages. The guitar's articulate clarity cuts through reverb and delay effects, creating the dreamy atmospheric textures essential to their sound.

Fender Telecaster

The Telecaster's punchy single-coil voice delivers the chimey brightness Alcest needs for clean, reverb-drenched sections that float above heavier tremolo-picked layers. Its clarity remains intact even when stacked with modulation and delay effects.

Gibson Les Paul Standard

Neige relies on the Les Paul's warm, sustaining humbuckers for the distorted black metal tremolo-picked passages that anchor Alcest's heavier moments. The guitar's thick tone provides the saturation needed for sustained, melodic wall-of-sound textures without losing note definition.

Gibson Les Paul Custom

The Les Paul Custom's powerful humbuckers deliver the smooth, saturated distortion required for Alcest's intense tremolo-picked sections while maintaining tonal warmth and sustain. Its construction supports the full-bodied, sustained tones that sit perfectly between ethereal and aggressive.

Orange Rockerverb

The Orange Rockerverb's tube-driven natural breakup and headroom allow Neige to achieve clean shimmer for shoegaze passages while pushing into smooth, warm saturation for distorted sections. This amp's responsiveness to dynamics is crucial for Alcest's dynamic shifts between ethereal and intense.
