Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd cabinet.
• The tone is characterized by a tight low-end, scooped mids, and clear high-end.
• Multiple guitar tracks were likely layered to create a thick, wall-of-sound effect.
• EQ and compression were applied during mixing to further shape the tone.

Recreation Tips

• Use a high-output humbucker guitar into a Mesa/Boogie amp.
• Scoop the mids on your amp's EQ.
• Use a tube screamer to tighten up the low end and add sustain.
• Experiment with mic placement to find the sweet spot on the cabinet.
• Double-track your guitar parts and pan them left and right for a wider sound.
