Recording Notes

  • The guitar was likely recorded with the amp slightly overdriven to achieve the desired crunch.
  • A single microphone, likely a Shure SM57, was positioned close to the speaker cone to capture the direct sound.
  • The room ambience was likely minimal, contributing to the clarity of the tone.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a Fender Telecaster and dial in a slightly overdriven sound on a Fender Tweed Deluxe.
  • Use a Shure SM57 close to the speaker for recording, or use an SM57-modeled plugin.
  • Adjust EQ to scoop out some of the mids, focusing on the low and high frequencies.
  • Add a touch of reverb to give the guitar some space, but keep it subtle.
