Recording Notes
- The guitar was likely recorded with a close-miked amp cabinet.
- The use of a Rat distortion pedal contributes to the fuzz-heavy sound.
- The Boss GE-7 is likely used for EQ shaping, possibly cutting some high end to avoid harshness.
- A blend of the direct amp signal with the distortion pedal output may have been used.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a Les Paul style guitar for humbucker tone.
- Use an Orange OR120 amp or similar high-gain amp as a base.
- Add a ProCo RAT distortion pedal for the core fuzz tone.
- Use a Boss GE-7 to fine-tune the EQ, focusing on mid and low frequencies.
- Experiment with blending a clean amp signal with the Rat's output.
