Tone Profile

The lead guitar tone is raw, abrasive, and heavily distorted, contributing to the song's dark and melancholic atmosphere. It features a buzzing, almost chainsaw-like distortion with a fuzzy edge.

Recording Notes

• The recording likely involved close-miking the cabinet to capture the direct sound of the amp and distortion pedal.
• Given the lo-fi nature of the recording, minimal post-processing might have been applied.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a high-output guitar like an Ibanez RG.
• Use a Pro Co RAT distortion pedal into a Peavey 5150 amp for the core tone.
• Experiment with different mic positions on the cabinet to find the right balance of clarity and aggression.
• Consider adding a touch of fuzz to thicken the sound further.
