Recording Notes
- The guitar sound is achieved by blending a cranked Vox AC30 with a fuzz pedal to add sustain and thickness.
- Close-miking with a Shure SM57 captures the raw energy of the cabinet.
- Additional overdrive from an Ibanez Tube Screamer helps push the amp into further saturation.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a Fender Telecaster into a Fuzz Face pedal for the core fuzz tone.
- Dial in a slightly overdriven sound on a Vox AC30 amp.
- Use an Ibanez Tube Screamer to further drive the amp's gain.
- Position a Shure SM57 close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis.
- Experiment with microphone placement to fine-tune the high-frequency response.
