Recording Notes

• The song's clean guitar tone is created by a Rickenbacker 360, known for its bright, jangly sound. The Vox AC30's chimey character enhances the guitar's natural brightness. The Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble pedal thickens and widens the sound.
• A Neumann U87 could have been used to capture the amp sound due to its versatility in studio settings.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Rickenbacker-style guitar or any guitar with single-coil pickups for a brighter tone.
• Use a Vox AC30 amp model or a similar amp known for its clean, chimey sound.
• Apply a chorus effect with settings that create a subtle doubling and thickening effect without being overly dramatic.
• Experiment with microphone placement to capture the amp's sound accurately; a U87 or similar condenser mic would be a good starting point.
