Soul/Afrobeat Guitar Tone
#1
Hi, I play guitar and I was wondering how soul and afrobeat guitarists get that really thick "twang" sound from their guitars, especially from Daptone bands (The Budos Band, Antibalas, etc.). I think they use hollowbody guitars, but I don't know what effects they put on it to get that amazing sound. I've only heard it in soul, funk and afrobeat, and in absolutely NO other genres. Would anyone know how they get that sound?

Here's an example:
