Recreation Tips
- Start with a Gibson Les Paul style guitar into a Mesa/Boogie Mark II or similar high-gain amp.
- Use a Shure SM57 close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis.
- Dial in a good amount of gain on the amp's preamp to achieve a crunchy, overdriven sound.
- Experiment with EQ to shape the tone, focusing on midrange frequencies for a classic rock sound.
