Recording Notes
- The Rickenbacker 360's jangly character is key to the sound, providing a bright and chime-like quality.
- The Vox AC30 adds warmth and a touch of overdrive without becoming overly distorted.
- Likely recorded with a Neumann U87 for its balanced frequency response and ability to capture detail.
Recreation Tips
- Use a Rickenbacker-style guitar with high-gain pickups for a similar jangle.
- Set your amp to a clean or slightly overdriven setting, focusing on clarity rather than heavy distortion.
- Experiment with chorus or compression to enhance the jangly character.
