The Blade Runner soundtrack was composed by Vangelis for Ridley Scott’s 1982 film Blade Runner. It is mostly a dark, melodic combination of classical composition and synthesizers which mirrors the futuristic film nor envisioned by Scott.

Vangelis main keyboard was the Yamaha CS80,

Below are the chains and settings I used to recreate the theme using Electro-Harmonix pedals:

Do you suppose the combination of pedals/guitars/cabling weighs more or less than the 220lb monstrosity that is the CS80? If we were to recreate this live, that is.

not ehx staff, just an effects enthusiast.
