Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a single microphone placed close to the speaker cone.
• The amp was probably driven hard to achieve the desired level of distortion and sustain.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Les Paul or similar humbucker-equipped guitar.
• Use a Marshall JCM800 or similar high-gain amp as a foundation.
• Experiment with different overdrive pedals to shape the tone.
• Use a dynamic microphone like an SM57 to capture the raw energy of the amp.
• Consider using a noise gate to tame any excessive noise or hum.
