- The guitar was likely recorded with a close mic on the amp to capture the direct, aggressive sound.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a Telecaster-style guitar into a clean amp like a Fender or Ampeg.
- Use a RAT distortion pedal with the gain set low to medium to achieve a gritty overdrive.
- Use an SM57 or similar dynamic microphone close to the amp speaker.
- EQ to taste, cutting any muddiness and boosting the high-mid frequencies for clarity.
