Recording Notes

• The recording was likely done using classic amp miking techniques with a Shure SM57 placed close to the speaker cone.
• The guitar signal would have been amplified through a Marshall JMP head, known for its aggressive and punchy sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Gibson Les Paul or similar humbucker-equipped guitar.
• Use a Marshall JMP or a similar high-gain amp model.
• Dial in a good amount of gain, focusing on a crunchy rather than a fuzzy distortion.
• Use a Shure SM57 or similar dynamic microphone to capture the amp sound.
• EQ the recording to emphasize the mid frequencies for added punch.
