Recording Notes

• The lead guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier, capturing the raw energy and detail of the performance.
• Experimenting with different fuzz or overdrive pedals can help achieve the desired level of saturation and sustain.
• The room ambience should be controlled to avoid excessive reflections, focusing on a tight, focused sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Gibson Les Paul style guitar into a Vox AC30 amplifier.
• Use a fuzz pedal to add saturation and sustain to the guitar signal.
• Adjust the EQ on the amp and/or fuzz pedal to sculpt the tone, focusing on a warm, balanced sound.
• Experiment with different microphone positions to find the sweet spot of the amplifier.
