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.
