Recording Notes

• The guitar sound is characterized by a high-gain amp pushed hard, likely with an overdrive pedal for added saturation.
• The midrange is slightly scooped, giving it a modern hard rock edge.
• A wah pedal is used expressively throughout the song.
• The amp was likely recorded with a close-miked dynamic microphone.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Les Paul style guitar into a Marshall JCM800 amp.
• Use a Tube Screamer or similar overdrive pedal to push the amp into high gain territory.
• Dial in a slightly scooped EQ with a focus on the high and low frequencies.
• Experiment with a wah pedal to add expression and character to the lead lines.
• Use a dynamic microphone like an SM57 close to the speaker for a direct and punchy sound.
