Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded in a live room with the amp cranked to achieve natural overdrive.
• The amp was likely miked with a single microphone, placed slightly off-axis to capture the full frequency spectrum.
• The guitar's volume knob was heavily used to control the amount of distortion and sustain.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Les Paul style guitar with humbucker pickups.
• Use a Marshall style amp, preferably a JTM45 or similar model, and set the gain to achieve a moderate amount of overdrive.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot that captures the amp's tone best.
• Use your guitar's volume knob to control the amount of gain and sustain.
• Consider using a boost pedal to further enhance the overdrive and sustain.
