I am working on a 2 minutes soundtrack for a friend's project and would love to create an ambience which evokes desert, saloon, and apocalypse.

I remembered a part of the good old Fallout 2 PC game and eventually found where it originally came from ( the embed video in this post)

How could I achieve something like that ? Is there a Kontakt library ? some samples packs ?

I own and play (bad) a 6 strings LTD Guitar LP style with humbuckers and use some amp sim (1 UAD Marshall ) and also S-Gear 2 but I couldn't make it sound anywhere near to this super bright sound that I d love to reproduce.

I just know about the obvious big bends, slides, hammer on off and pretty reverb, that's it.

Thanks for any hint or link

To get close to that sound, if you're going to use your guitar, you need to combine both pickups with the neck pickup a bit lower than the bridge pickup.
Send it to an eq and search 2 frequencies to push a bit: One in the low mids and the other one in the upper highs.

You could save some time using an acoustic simulation preset from digital guitar effect, but right now I cant remember for sure which plugins has it.
The rest is obviously reverb , discrete (stereo) delay ...

Thanks to both of you,
I ll try some dobro libraries first cause that's definitely the sound I am looking for but I ll try again your pickup ideas combined with the EQ principle.

So far I had mainly tried to use the split pickups function to get a brighter sound and found the neck gave me a bit more clarity but even with eq a bit with hi shelf, I wasn't quite there.
