Recording Notes

• The Telecaster was likely played with a pick, focusing on the bridge pickup for a brighter tone.
• The Vox AC30 was set with a moderate gain level to achieve a slightly overdriven sound.
• The Neumann U87 was used to capture the amp's sound with clarity and detail, positioned a few feet away from the cabinet.
• The Boss CH-1 Super Chorus pedal added depth and movement to the guitar, creating the signature swirling effect.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Fender Telecaster and select the bridge pickup for a bright, clear tone.
• Use a Vox AC30 amplifier or a similar model set to a moderate gain level. Alternatively, use an amp simulation plugin.
• Add a Boss CH-1 Super Chorus pedal or a chorus plugin to introduce the swirling effect.
• Adjust the chorus rate and depth to match the original recording, and fine-tune the amp's gain and EQ settings for optimal results.
