Recording Notes

  • The guitar was likely recorded with the amp in a relatively small room to capture some natural ambience.
  • The original recording may have used a combination of direct input and microphone techniques to achieve the final tone.
  • Microphone placement would be close to the speaker cone.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a Fender Telecaster and dial in a clean tone on a Vox AC30.
  • Use the bridge pickup on the Telecaster for added bite and clarity.
  • Add a touch of spring reverb to emulate the original recording's ambience.
  • Experiment with mic placement to capture the right balance of direct and reflected sound.
