Recording Notes

  • The guitar was likely recorded with a cranked Marshall amp in a live room to capture the raw energy of the performance.
  • 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.
