Recording Notes
- The guitar was likely recorded in a live room with a combination of close and distant miking techniques to capture both the direct sound and the room ambience.
- It is rumored that multiple amps were blended, a Supro Coronado and a Fender Tweed Deluxe. A Neumann U67 was placed several feet away from the amps.
- The guitars were recorded at Headley Grange. The room's natural acoustics contributed to the overall warmth and depth of the sound.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a Fender Telecaster or similar single-coil guitar.
- Use a Supro Coronado amp or a similar low-wattage tube amp known for its clean and slightly overdriven tones.
- Experiment with microphone placement to capture both the direct sound and room ambience. Try blending a close mic with a room mic.
- Add a touch of compression to even out the dynamics and enhance the sustain.
- Use a slight boost in the high frequencies to brighten the tone and add clarity.
