Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a combination of close-miking and room ambience to capture the amp's full sound.
• Subtle compression and EQ were applied during mixing to enhance the clarity and sustain of the lead lines.
• The chorus effect was used sparingly to add depth and movement without overwhelming the guitar's core tone.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Gibson Les Paul into a Vox AC30 amplifier.
• Use a Neumann U67 or similar condenser microphone to capture the amp's sound.
• Apply a light chorus effect using a Boss CE-1 or equivalent chorus pedal.
• Experiment with microphone placement and room ambience to achieve the desired depth and fullness.
• Use compression and EQ to refine the tone and ensure it sits well in the mix.
