Recording Notes
- The guitar was likely recorded with a single microphone placed close to the amplifier.
- A small amount of natural room ambience may have been present in the recording.
- The guitar part could have been double-tracked to add depth to the sound.
Recreation Tips
- Use a Fender Telecaster into a clean Fender Tweed amp, or amp sim.
- Start with a clean amp setting and gradually increase the gain until you achieve a slight breakup.
- Use a spring reverb plugin set to a subtle amount to add some warmth and space to the sound.
- Experiment with different microphone positions to find the sweet spot on the amplifier.
- If you want to thicken the sound, try double-tracking the guitar part and panning the two tracks slightly apart.
