Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier in a well-treated studio environment.
• The overdrive is achieved by using a combination of the tube screamer and the natural distortion of the Marshall JCM800.
• The reverb is added in post-production to give the guitar a sense of space and depth.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Gibson Les Paul or similar humbucker-equipped guitar.
• Use a Marshall JCM800 or similar high-gain amplifier as your base tone.
• Add an Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer to push the amp into further overdrive.
• Place a Shure SM57 close to the speaker cone of the amplifier.
• In your DAW, add a touch of plate reverb to give the guitar some space.
