Tone Profile

A raw, powerful, and slightly overdriven hard rock rhythm guitar sound, perfect for driving a stadium anthem. Thick and crunchy with a touch of vintage vibe.

Recording Notes

• The rhythm guitar was likely recorded with the amp cranked to achieve a natural overdrive. A touch of phaser adds subtle movement and depth.
• The combination of a Les Paul with humbuckers and an Ampeg SVT (typically a bass amp) creates a thick, powerful tone.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Les Paul or similar guitar with humbucker pickups.
• Use an Ampeg SVT or a similar high-powered tube amp as your base tone.
• Crank the amp to achieve a natural overdrive, or use an overdrive pedal if you can't crank the amp.
• Add a subtle phaser effect (MXR Phase 90 is a good starting point).
• Experiment with microphone placement to capture the best balance of direct amp sound and room ambience.
