Tone Profile

The lead guitar tone is characterized by a thick, slightly overdriven sound with a focused midrange and a touch of high-end bite. It's a modern rock tone with clarity and punch, suitable for cutting through a dense mix.

Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded in a professional studio environment, possibly at Studio 606, owned by Foo Fighters.
• Multiple takes were likely recorded and comped for the final performance.
• The Pro Co RAT provides the core distortion, while the Vox AC30 adds its signature chime and overdrive.
• The MXR Phase 90 is subtly used to add movement and texture to the guitar track.
• The Neumann U67 would have captured the amp's sound with clarity and warmth.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a semi-hollow guitar like a Gibson ES-335 or similar.
• Use a Vox AC30 amp model or the real thing, set for a slightly overdriven tone.
• Add a Pro Co RAT distortion pedal with the gain set to a moderate level for a thick but not overly saturated sound.
• Use an MXR Phase 90 sparingly to add subtle movement.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot of the amp, focusing on capturing the amp's chime and midrange character.
• Double-track the guitar part to enhance the thickness and width of the tone.
