Recording Notes

• An overdrive pedal pushed the amp into higher gain levels.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a guitar equipped with high-output humbuckers.
• Use a Marshall JCM800 or similar high-gain amplifier as your base tone.
• Add an overdrive pedal like the Ibanez Tube Screamer to tighten the low end and boost the midrange.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot on the cabinet.
• EQ to taste, focusing on a tight low end and articulate high frequencies.
