Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with the SM57 close-miking the Mesa/Boogie cabinet to capture the amp's aggressive sound.
• A chorus effect, likely from a Boss CE-1, adds depth and movement to the guitar tone.
• The dual rectifier amp delivers a high-gain tone with a pronounced mid-range scoop, perfect for rock rhythm and lead playing.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Stratocaster or similar guitar with single-coil pickups.
• Use a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier or similar high-gain amplifier.
• Experiment with different gain settings on the amp to find the sweet spot for the lead tone.
• Add a touch of chorus using a Boss CE-1 or similar chorus pedal.
• Use an SM57 or similar dynamic microphone to capture the amp's sound.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the best position for capturing the amp's tone.
