Tone Profile

The lead guitar tone is a classic mid-80s rock sound, characterized by its bright, articulate distortion, and sustain. It's aggressive and cutting, perfect for driving power chords and melodic lead lines.

Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely overdubbed multiple times to create a thick, layered sound.
• The amp was probably cranked to achieve the desired level of saturation.
• The close mic technique with the SM57 captures the raw energy of the amp.

Recreation Tips

• Double-track the guitar parts for added thickness.
• Start with a Stratocaster-style guitar with hot pickups.
• Use a Mesa/Boogie Mark II or similar high-gain amp.
• Add a Tube Screamer for extra boost and mid-range focus.
• Experiment with different microphone placements to find the sweet spot.
