Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier. The combination of the Les Paul and JCM800 provides a classic rock sound.
• The Fuzz Face adds a layer of harmonic richness and sustain, enhancing the overall thickness of the guitar tone.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Les Paul style guitar into a Marshall JCM800. Dial in a moderate amount of gain on the amp.
• Add a Fuzz Face pedal with a medium fuzz setting. Adjust the tone knob to taste.
• Use a Shure SM57 close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis, to capture the amp's sound.
• In the mix, use a slight high-pass filter to clean up any low-end rumble and ensure clarity.
