Tone Profile

Aggressive and distorted rhythm guitar, with a harsh, industrial edge. Think heavily saturated, fuzzy, and slightly scooped mids.

Recording Notes

• Multiple guitar tracks were likely layered to create a thick, wall-of-sound effect.
• Experiment with different microphone positions on the cabinet to find the right balance of proximity effect and clarity.
• Consider using a noise gate to tighten up the low end and reduce unwanted hum.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Stratocaster-style guitar and a high-gain amplifier like a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier.
• Use a Pro Co RAT distortion pedal for a gritty, aggressive distortion. Adjust the 'Filter' knob to shape the tone.
• Add an MXR Phase 90 for subtle movement and depth. Set the 'Speed' knob to a slow, swirling rate.
• Experiment with different EQ settings on the amp and pedals to achieve a balanced tone with scooped mids.
• Double-track or quad-track the guitar parts for a thicker sound. Pan the tracks slightly to create a wider stereo image.
