Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd cabinet.
• The clean sound was created with the use of a Roland Dimension D chorus pedal.
• The solo was a combination of the overdrive and chorus to create a full sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Les Paul and a Marshall amp, set for a slightly crunchy tone.
• Add an MXR Distortion+ to push the amp into a singing overdrive.
• Use the Roland Dimension D to add width and thickness to the clean sound.
• A Shure SM57 is a good choice for micing the cabinet, positioned slightly off-axis.
