Tone Profile
The lead guitar tone is characterized by its fuzzy, saturated distortion with a raw and aggressive edge. It's a modern take on classic stoner rock.
Signal Chain
Instrument: Gibson Les Paul
Amp: Orange Rockerverb 50
Microphone: Shure SM57
Processing: Pro Co RAT, Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi
Recording Notes
- The guitar signal likely involves a combination of amp distortion and fuzz pedals to achieve its thick, saturated sound.
- Microphone placement on the cabinet is crucial to capturing the raw energy of the amp.
- Blending the Pro Co RAT and Big Muff Pi can create a unique, layered fuzz effect.
- Experimenting with the gain staging on both the amp and pedals will allow you to dial in the desired level of aggression.
Recreation Tips
- Set the Orange Rockerverb to a moderately overdriven tone.
- Engage the Pro Co RAT with the gain set relatively low to add some grit.
- Stack the Big Muff Pi after the RAT with the sustain and volume adjusted to taste for added fuzz and thickness.
- Position a Shure SM57 close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis, to capture the amp's raw sound.
- Experiment with EQ to sculpt the tone and remove any unwanted frequencies.
- Start with a Les Paul or similar humbucker-equipped guitar.
