  • Multiple takes were likely layered to create a full and energetic sound.

Recreation Tips

  • Use a Fender Stratocaster with a bridge humbucker for a similar starting point.
  • Dial in a mid-heavy, slightly scooped tone on a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier or similar high-gain amplifier.
  • Experiment with overdrive pedals to add sustain and aggression.
  • Use a Shure SM57 or similar dynamic microphone to capture the amp's tone.
  • Double-track the guitar parts for added thickness.
