Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier in a live or studio setting.
• The Fuzz Face and Maestro FZ-1A were probably used in conjunction to create the layered fuzz sound
• The Sunn Model T, known for its high-wattage and clean headroom, was likely cranked to the point of distortion or used as a platform for the fuzz pedals.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Stratocaster for its bright and articulate tone.
• Use a Fuzz Face and Maestro FZ-1A, or similar fuzz pedals, stacked to achieve the desired level of saturation.
• Dial in a driven tone on a Sunn Model T or a similar high-powered tube amp.
• Place a Shure SM57 close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis, to capture the raw and aggressive sound.
• Experiment with different combinations and settings of the fuzz pedals and amp to fine-tune the tone.
