Recording Notes
- The guitar was likely recorded with the amp in a small room to capture some natural ambience.
- The amp's gain was probably set to the edge of breakup, providing a warm, slightly overdriven tone.
- The SM57 was likely placed close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis, to capture the amp's direct sound while minimizing harshness.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a Fender Stratocaster and a Fender Tweed Deluxe amp (or amp modeler).
- Set the amp's volume and gain to achieve a warm, slightly overdriven sound. Adjust the tone controls to taste.
- Use a Shure SM57 (or similar dynamic mic) to capture the amp's sound. Experiment with mic placement to find the sweet spot.
- Add a touch of reverb in your DAW to simulate the room ambience.
