Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier in a well-treated studio environment.
• A blend of direct input and mic'd amp signals might have been used to capture both clarity and amp character.
• Compression was applied during recording or mixing to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
• The minimal processing helps the guitar sit well in the mix without overpowering the vocals or other instruments.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a clean Telecaster tone and a clean amp like a Fender Twin Reverb.
• Use a Shure SM57 or similar dynamic microphone to capture the amp sound.
• Apply a moderate amount of compression to add sustain and even out the dynamics using a Urei 1176-style compressor.
• Experiment with slight overdrive from the amp or a subtle overdrive pedal if more grit is needed.
• Blend a touch of direct input signal for added clarity and articulation.
