Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-miked amplifier. The Pro Co RAT provides a defined distortion sound.
• Potentially double-tracked to thicken the sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Gibson Les Paul or similar humbucker-equipped guitar.
• Use a Mesa/Boogie Mark II amplifier and set the gain to achieve a moderately overdriven tone.
• Add a Pro Co RAT distortion pedal for extra crunch and sustain.
• Place a Shure SM57 microphone close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis.
• Consider double-tracking the guitar part for added thickness and stereo width.
