- The SM57 would have been placed close to the speaker cone to capture the aggressive midrange and high-end bite.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a Les Paul-style guitar into a Marshall JMP or similar high-gain amp.
- Crank the amp to achieve natural tube saturation and sustain.
- Use a Shure SM57 or similar dynamic microphone close to the speaker for recording.
- Consider a slight boost in the upper mids around 1-2kHz to enhance the bite.
