Tone Profile

A bright, slightly overdriven British rock tone with a touch of chorus and compression, providing sustain and clarity. It's punchy and articulate, perfect for rhythm playing and melodic lead lines.

Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a close-mic'd amplifier in a well-treated studio environment.
• Multiple takes were probably comped together to achieve the final performance.
• Consider experimenting with different microphone positions to capture the amp's sweet spot.

Recreation Tips

• Use compression to even out the dynamics and add sustain.
• Start with a Gibson Les Paul into a Vox AC30. Dial in a slightly overdriven tone, focusing on midrange frequencies for punch.
• Add a subtle chorus effect using the Boss CE-1 to thicken the sound and create a sense of space.
• A fuzz pedal like the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face can be used to get a more saturated tone.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot of the amp. Try a Neumann U67 a few inches back from the speaker.
