Signal Chain

Recording Notes

• The guitar was DI'd into the computer, and amp simulation and effects plugins were used to dial in the tone.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a relatively bright guitar signal, possibly with active pickups or a high-output humbucker.
• Choose an amp sim known for its high-gain capabilities and tweak it to have a present but not overly muddy low end.
• Experiment with different amp and cabinet combinations within your chosen amp sim for the best match.
• Use a precise EQ to carve out any unwanted frequencies and emphasize the clarity and sustain.
• Consider a touch of compression or limiting to further enhance the sustain and even out the dynamics.
• Automate parameters to bring the tone alive!
