Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amp cabinet.

• EQ and compression were applied during mixing to enhance clarity and punch.

• Use a Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ or similar high-gain amplifier.
• Dial in a tight, focused sound with a slightly scooped midrange.
• Add a Tube Screamer for extra gain and sustain.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot on the speaker cone.
• Double-track the guitar parts for added thickness and dimension.
