Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-miked amp in a treated studio environment.
• The direct input signal may have been blended with the mic'd cabinet to add clarity and punch.
• EQ and compression were likely applied during mixing to further shape the tone.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a bright-sounding guitar like a Stratocaster or Telecaster.
• Use a high-gain amp like a Mesa/Boogie Rectifier to get the basic drive tone.
• Experiment with different overdrive and distortion pedals to fine-tune the character of the distortion.
• Use a dynamic microphone like an SM57 to capture the amp's tone.
• Apply EQ to shape the tone and remove any unwanted frequencies.
• Use compression to add sustain and punch to the guitar signal.
