Tone Profile

A thick, slightly overdriven guitar tone with a dark and brooding character, perfectly complementing the song's heavy and somber mood.

Production Credits

Signal Chain

Recording Notes

• The guitar sound was achieved by blending a direct input signal with a mic'd cabinet to capture both the clarity and the raw power of the amp.
• The Bogner Ecstasy was likely used for its ability to produce a high-gain, yet articulate tone.
• Tube Screamer was probably used to push the amp into further saturation.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a guitar equipped with a humbucker pickup to capture a thick sound.
• Use a boost pedal to drive a high-gain amplifier, focusing on midrange frequencies.
• Blend a direct input signal with the mic'd amp to achieve a balance between clarity and aggression.
• Experiment with microphone placement to capture the desired cabinet sound. A Shure SM57 is a great starting point.
