Tone Profile

This tone is bright, slightly overdriven, and has a choppy quality, perfect for the band's signature angular and energetic indie rock style. It's got a good amount of bite without being overly aggressive, fitting well in the mix.

Recording Notes

• The core sound revolves around a Fender Telecaster and a Vox AC30 amplifier, a common combination for British indie bands.
• A Pro Co RAT distortion pedal adds the necessary grit and edge.
• The guitar might have been double-tracked to thicken the sound in certain sections.
• Microphone placement is likely close to the speaker cone for a direct and punchy sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Telecaster into a Vox AC30.
• Engage a Pro Co RAT pedal with moderate gain to achieve the desired distortion.
• Experiment with different RAT settings to find the sweet spot between overdrive and fuzz.
• Use a Shure SM57 or similar dynamic microphone close to the speaker.
• Consider double-tracking the guitar part for added depth and presence.
