Recording Notes
- The song was recorded at Jackpot! Recording Studio in Portland, Oregon.
- The guitars were likely recorded with close mic'ing techniques to capture the direct sound of the amplifier.
- The band often experiments with different guitar tunings and effects to achieve their unique sound.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a Fender Stratocaster-style guitar for the bright, clear tone.
- Use a Fender Tweed Deluxe or similar amp to get a slightly overdriven sound.
- Experiment with the amp's EQ settings, particularly the treble and mid controls, to dial in the desired brightness.
- A touch of overdrive can be added with a pedal if needed, but the core tone should come from the amp.
- A Shure SM57 is a good option to capture the sound.
