Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a single microphone placed close to the speaker cabinet.
• The amp was probably driven to the edge of breakup, providing a natural overdrive.
• Consider blending a direct input signal with the mic'd amp for added clarity.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Gibson Les Paul or similar humbucker-equipped guitar.
• Use a Marshall JCM800 amp model or a similar high-gain amp.
• Set the amp gain to achieve a crunchy overdrive tone.
• Place a Shure SM57-style microphone close to the speaker cone.
• Adjust EQ to taste, focusing on a balanced mid-range.
