Tone Profile

A bright, slightly overdriven guitar tone that provides a solid rhythmic foundation. It's clean enough to be articulate but has a subtle bite that helps it cut through the mix.

Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier in a well-treated studio environment.
• The clean sound may have been achieved by blending a direct input (DI) signal with the mic'd amp signal.
• The Eventide H3000 could have been used for subtle pitch-shifting or chorus-like effects to widen the sound.
• The Roland Dimension D might have been used for adding subtle stereo width and depth.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Stratocaster-style guitar and a Mesa/Boogie Mark Series amplifier.
• Set the amp to a clean or slightly overdriven tone.
• Use a Shure SM57 microphone close to the speaker cone.
• In your DAW, apply a subtle chorus effect using a plugin that emulates the Eventide H3000.
• Add a touch of stereo widening using a Roland Dimension D emulation.
• Blend the direct input (DI) signal with the mic'd amp signal to add clarity.
