Recording Notes

• The recording quality is intentionally very lo-fi, contributing to the overall harshness of the tone.
• The guitar sound is heavily distorted, likely achieved by running multiple distortion or fuzz pedals into an already overdriven amplifier.
• The tone has a blown-out character, suggesting that the amp or speaker might have been pushed to its breaking point during recording.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a high-output guitar and a good quality distortion pedal like a Boss HM-2 or a Pro Co RAT.
• Experiment with stacking multiple distortion pedals to achieve the extreme level of gain and fuzz.
• Use a cheap or lo-fi recording setup to capture the raw and unpolished character of the tone.
• Consider using a cabinet simulator or IR that emulates a small, poorly-maintained speaker cabinet to further enhance the lo-fi quality.
• Don't be afraid to push the gain and volume to extreme levels to capture the chaotic and blown-out sound.
