The recording

The song was recorded at Levcon Studios (Los Angeles), Avatar Studios (New York) and Daptone Studios (Brooklyn) under engineer Ari Levine, with the guitar sitting in the mix as a bright, slightly compressed tone that reinforces the disco‑inflected rhythm section.

Practical playing approach
Recreation guidance, not a claim about undocumented studio control positions.
- 1.Use a clean tone and play with tight, muted strums to capture the song's percussive feel.
- 2.Select the neck pickup (or a warm single‑coil) for a rounded, vintage‑disco sound.
- 3.Apply light compression to even out the dynamics of the rhythmic chord chops.
- 4.Add a subtle chorus or slight reverb to emulate the spacious studio vibe.
- 5.Practice syncopated sixteenth‑note strumming to lock in with the funk rhythm section.

Frequently asked questions
What gear was used for the Treasure guitar tone?
The available research points to Unknown electric guitar into Unknown guitar amp. The full reported signal chain and evidence links are listed on this page.
Are the original Treasure amp settings documented?
Exact historical knob positions are not reliably documented for most recordings. ToneTwin does not publish generated values as studio fact; it creates playable settings only for the amp and pedals a player selects.
How do I recreate the Treasure tone on my own gear?
Use the reported pickup, gain character, effects and signal-chain order as the target, then translate that target to your equipment. The matcher models controls for your selected rig rather than copying undocumented studio numbers.
