Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a Shure SM57 placed close to the speaker cone of a Fender Deluxe Reverb.
• A direct input signal may have been blended with the mic'd cabinet to add clarity and punch.
• Compression was likely applied during mixing to even out the dynamics and add sustain.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Gibson Les Paul or similar humbucker-equipped guitar.
• Use a Fender Deluxe Reverb amp model, or an amp with similar characteristics (warm, clean tone with slight overdrive).
• Place a Shure SM57-style microphone model close to the speaker in your virtual amp.
• Add a touch of compression (3:1 ratio, 4dB gain reduction) to smooth out the dynamics.
• Experiment with slight overdrive from the amp or a light overdrive pedal to achieve the desired sustain.
