What are you about to go do?

All my past attempts to make post-punk music didn't sound quite right.. because they were too in tune! 

It seems like there has to be a detune effect to get the guitar to sound post-punk, which creates a more bittersweet or dark sound, in my case the original chorus parameters I was using didn't have enough of that effect going on.  Chorus + reverb + delay (including detune).  But it sounds to my ears like the delay could be optional or shouldn't be too overpowering and the reverb with most bands is moderate, not too small, but is below the most extreme/shoegaze levels.  It also sounds like this detuning and chorus (and reverb) is going on with the bass, at least with the gothier post-punk, which is why my bass never sounded right to me trying to get more authentic post-punk sounds.  So even chords and notes that would've sounded positive sound more dark because of the detuning effect.


EDIT: I guess The Cure uses a flanger but that has a detuning effect if I'm not mistaken.

 

EDIT 2: And if it's going to go goth, all of the instruments except the drums should have the effects so everything has a slightly out of pitch feel.
