Tone Profile

This tone is a blend of distorted, funky guitar with a touch of vocoder-like processing, creating a unique and memorable sound. It's bright and cutting, yet retains a warm, analog feel.

Recording Notes

• The guitar signal was likely run through a Mutronics Mutator to achieve the vowel-like formant sounds, and a Small Stone phaser may have been used for added texture. The JCM800 provides the core distorted tone, while the SM57 is a classic choice for capturing the amp's sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Stratocaster-style guitar and a Marshall-style amp. Dial in a medium-gain distortion tone on the amp.
• Use a Mutronics Mutator (or similar vocoder/envelope filter) to experiment with vowel sounds and filter sweeps. Adjust the sensitivity and range to match the original tone.
• Add a subtle phaser effect (like an Electro-Harmonix Small Stone) to create a swirling texture. Adjust the rate and depth to taste.
• Experiment with different microphone placements to find the sweet spot for capturing the amp's tone.
