Recording Notes

• The guitar was likely recorded with a single microphone on the amplifier. Multiple takes could have been layered to create a thicker sound.
• The Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier is known for its high-gain capabilities, which contributes to the aggressive edge of the tone.
• The raw nature of the recording suggests minimal post-processing was applied.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Stratocaster or similar guitar with single-coil pickups.
• Use a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amplifier, setting the gain to achieve a crunchy, overdriven tone without excessive distortion.
• Place a Shure SM57 microphone close to the speaker cone, slightly off-axis.
• Record multiple takes and layer them in the mix to enhance the thickness and fullness of the guitar sound.
• Avoid excessive post-processing; keep the tone raw and natural.
